How now my sweet creature of bombast?

Taken from: Henry IV, part I

 :D ;D :D

Just right for us chatterboxes!

I was so pleased to learn that modern schoolkids apparently are learning what "thou" means - I should explain, it is the old Biblical word for "you", "thine" being "yours", and "hast" meaning "has" as in "has done", while "hath" means "has" as in "he has a computer" (more or less).

I have never been insulted so much by a computer, nor so amusingly.

(To my light bulb): Thou artless boil-brained hedge-pig!

Unfortunately the fitting was so ancient that when I screwed a new one in, bits fell off so that the lightbulb can no longer actually stay in its place. If that makes sense.

My drama teacher friend had pointed out a third possibility: that the light bulb itself may have been coming loose. Since it, not the light fittings, was holding up the lampshade, that is actually quite possible I reckon. Student houses eh?

She hast not tarried, but briefly hast she return'd
To cast her blessings upon noble Galaxy Zoo
And verily wilt she assess her good friends' insults
Spake through the forum-speak of "How are you?"

Oh dear, chat has fallen flat. Shall I take Shakespeare away again and let you all get back to normal? ;)

Stand wary, fair Seeker of Galaxies, for one of thy boon companions hast crafted a snippet of prose whilst thou tarried!
Good news everyone!

If galaxies be the food of love, click on;
Give me excess of them, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That image again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my eye like a sweet vision,
That shines upon a sky at night,
Stealing and giving splendor! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of stars! how great and bright art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the universe, nought enters there,
Of what cluster and hue soe'er,
But falls into upon our gaze,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is wonderous
That it alone is quite fantastical.

Infinity, that's incredible! And Who's Online said you were only viewing Just Chat!!

That's "Twelfth Night" isn't it. ;) Loved that one, studied it when I was 12. Will never forget the yellow stockings.

May I propose an amendment: If galaxies be the food of love, click on.
