It is National Talk Like Shakespeare Day. And before you doth protest too much, let me say that it really isn't that different than Talk Like a Pirate Day. There are just a few less "Arrrrs" and "Swabs" and "Avast yee's."
I actually like Shakespeare. I particularly like Hamlet. To a lesser extent I sort of like Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer's Night Dream. Most of my exposure has been through having to read the plays in high school, college and then again when my children had to read those plays in high school. Funny how I have to relive things you have to read in high school. I can't tell you how many times I've had to read The Things They Carried. Though in all fairness I didn't read it in high school since I was in high school during the time of the Vietnam war which is where the book was set.
But I digress. Back to Shakespeare. Here is one of the first riffs on Shakespeare I made years ago. I thought it would be a pretty funny name for a Dry Cleaners.
Then there was another riff on Hamlet with this one:
Oh well. I'm no Shakespeare.
