Tuesday Open Thread: When Metaphors Go Bad Edition
Random somewhat-related Austen links for the week:
- Tony Blair is Wickham? We always knew he couldn’t have those forearms for nothing.
- We love it when they use Jane Austen for sports metaphors.
- Laurel Ann at Austenprose asks: should Jane Austen fans help save Mark Twain’s house? (We say: let the Mark Twain Society of North America do it! Oh, wait…)
- Edward Austen, the author’s brother, founded it in 1894? Interesting, since he died in 1852.
- “Oh! it is a very nice word indeed! — It does for every thing.“
It’s an open thread: discuss the above or what’s happening in your patch of Janeiteville!
