[PurpleMan]

Hast thou been patterning thy parlance to evoke the vernacular of William Shakespeare?

Well, get thee to an Internet machine hastily, sirrah or mistress, for thou hast but two days from Tuesday to unleash thy inner bard.

If thou dost refuseth, thou art a viperous tardy-gaited lout!

PM - I tried “Wench, bring this fair young lad an ale, and bring thee hence.” Mrs. Jubal did not see the humor in it, and informed me that “Thy shall be celibate for a fortnight, and thine supper of frozen corndogs is in thy freezer.” I think that means get off my a$$ and get my own beer. —JM

Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago, Illinois, has declared Thursday as "Talk Like Shakespeare Day" to celebrate the 445th birthday of the man many consider the greatest playwright in the English language.

That twit can barely speak American English. His 'Daleyisms' are legendary. He makes Dubya look like Sir Laurence Olivier doing Hamlet!

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it.

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him 'well'" is NOT a line in Hamlet.
