Talk Like Shakespeare Day

Maybe that's because it is Shakespeare's birthday (and the day on which he died) today.

I've been at work, where he first performed As You Like It.

I thought on the east coast y'all called it soda in the midwest we call it pop. At least that is what my SIL has told me for 30+ years she is from Philly.

OK if ya asked her then she told ya what she wanted that is a big hint she wants to go on a picnic stude.

Looks like some chickens better get busy awful lot of deviled eggs wanted for the picnics. Of course the lazy chickens will be supplying the fried chicken if they choose not to lay eggs.

Alas, but retired or not, English teacher wot I am, I knew this. . .

Too funny, but every Spring, when I would teach Shakespeare's sonnets, and read Romeo and Juliet with the ninth graders, I would lapse quite easily into Shakepeare-ese. In honor of his birthday, the students who used language from our course of study -- his works -- would get bonus points.

Just as an aside, there is no record of Shakespeare's birth -- only the record of his christening on April 26, and because he did die on April 23, it was considered just too neat not to recognize it as his birthdate, too. Generally, infants were christened on the third day following their births, so it made sense that Shakespeare may have been born April 23.

The kids always thought it a bummer: dying on your birthday.

Isn't April 23 also St. George's Day? St. George is the patron saint of England, isn't he? Made it even neat-er to think ole Shakey-Baby was born on St. George's Day, too.

How cool for you, Jezer, to be there! One day, I'll get across the pond.

When was the last time you had a picnic ?
Has been years. Several years ago I was on vacation and was driving I-70 in Utah. I stopped at a really nice rest stop. It was kinda out of the way and no one else was there so I decided I would have lunch there. I got everything out of the car and started putting lunch together when a van pulled up alongside. The driver got out and proceeded to let the passengers out. They were all in chains and handcuffs. Turns out it was a prisoner transport. Needless to say I loaded up the car and headed out. Mighty short picnic.
