"And this, our life, exempt from public haunt,
finds tongues in trees,
books in the running brooks,
sermons in stones,
and good in everything."
~William Shakespeare
It's Shakespeare's birthday tomorrow and the quote by him seems a perfect one for today--the 40th celebration of Earth Day.
For some Shakespearean fun, go to the Shakespeare "insult generator". (and here is yet another one)
I tried the first generator and got insulted with: "Thou venomed scurvy-valiant giglet!"
And this is what I was insulted with at the second(U.K.) site: "Thou obscene weather-bitten dewberry!"

I ADORE the dewberry quote!
Oh how funny, I love Shakespeare and am planning to go to the Shakespeare Globe to see a performance this summer...Great post. Love from London x
At university, I hated old English - had to do Beowulf in the original version AND Chauser. Although I enjoyed Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, it was a relief to read Shakespeare! But I think Shakespeare was born on April 26 1564 and died on April 23 1616.
too funny!
here's mine:
Thou goatish rampallian bum-bailey!
Too much fun!
Here is mine:
"[Thou] mad mustachio purple-hued maltworms!"
This post made me laugh so much that I thought it really ought to be rewarded. Please stop by at my blog to pick up a little something... Love from London x

Shakespearean insult generator?! Fabulous! I got: "Were I like thee I'd throw away myself."
By the way, if your ears are burning it might be because I (finally) responded to the award today and mentioned you on my blog!
Happy weekend :)
