Unexpected B2MEM moment...

[ramblin_rosie]

So I'm going along, reading Sidney's Apology for Poetry for Thursday, and all of a sudden he starts talking about Gorboduc.
o.O "Gorbadoc?!" thinks I, and hit Google.
Alas, not much connection to the Brandybucks, unless Himself chose the name for its sound; it's a tragedy from 1565 by Thomas Norton and Thomas... Sackville.
Text here for the curious.

Hobbits, hobbits everywhere!
(Seriously, though, what are the odds Himself hadn't read Apology for Poetry?)

Pretty slim, I should say. I love stuff like that!
