April 23rd Talk Like Shakespeare Day

[Furryanimal]

Thou Hast been told
..
Talk Like Shakespeare Day is on April 23, and gives us the chance to speak like one of the most influential playwrights of all time — William Shakespeare. We can speak like the ‘Bard of Avon,’ as he was also known as, by replacing basic words like you and they for ye and thee or thou. This fun day was created by the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and officiated by Mayor Rahm Emanuel in 2009, and has been celebrated ever since.…
Shakespeare Day

 

[Dustbunny]

Talk like Shakespeare and a Texan.

"Good morrow y'all."

 

[Pinky]

'Tis time to partake of victuals!

 

[Murrmurr]

When I was taking a course in literature, we had to read some Shakespeare. The one line that stuck with me is “Thou mad mustachio purple-hued maltworms!”

I still don't know if he was being savage or funny.

 

[MarkinPhx]

"Happy Tuesday, good folk! Verily, the sun doth shine upon us with fervor, and yon sky remaineth cloudless. "

For some reason Copilot added the emojis. I do not recall any emojis in Shakespeare's work

 

[Jace]

Thou shall not have any regrets..To life' end!

 

[ohioboy]

Alas, poor egg yolk, he was half a shell, a ratio.

 

[hollydolly]

Alas on thine St George's dayeth in Ye Olde England, thy yobs riot in thy streets and strike ye olde constables and yonder colts in Battle.... on this day

Seems like "I have not slept one wink" due to the "wild goose chase" I've been on, trying to get the recipe for that "dish fit for the gods". My wife tired of this search, but "love is blind"... and perhaps I'm "made of sterner stuff" but, whatever... I carry on.

Perhaps I'm just "a blinking idiot", and I'm certainly no "tower of strength". But I can't believe that fabled recipe has simply "melted into thin air". In my "heart of hearts" I'm wondering if this quest is worth it.

Shakespeare's Phrases

I still don't know if he was being savage or funny.

That's a great phrase or sentence!

 

[jujube]

I don't think I can improve on this quote from Henry IV:

“Away, you starvelling, you elf-skin, you dried neat’s-tongue, bull’s-pizzle, you stock-fish!”​

I just tried it on the Spousal Equivalent and now he's out in the garage muttering about my sanity.

 

[RadishRose]

Thou, thou, thou....that's what thou art!

 

[dilettante]

Cheeseth it, cometh yon gaggle of heathens bearing clipboards soliciting scrawls favoring cretinous opinion and petty partisans.

 

[RadishRose]

"Out, Damned Spot!"
