If only he’d do something similar to the MetaFreeForAll Austen related. Perhaps an Austen/Bronte debate?

Hmm, I can see it now.
“And do you know why else Jane Austen’s Juvenellia is better than the Bronte sisters’? Because it doesn’t have any bears in it!”

I saw this - it cracked me up! I actually have a volume, put out by Penguin I think, which contains the collected juvenalia of Jane Austen and the Brontes under one cover. As if they were anything alike…
