You know you've been reading/seeing too much Shakespeare when ...



someone tells a joke you feel the need to give them money, "Here's gold for that."


someone interrupts your plans for a day off you run into the woods and try to work it all out away from the suffocating city.


when you get passed up for a promotion at work you begin to make plans to destroy everyone and everything around you, and finally when confronted with your schemes - you say nothing.

[Woland]

Okay here some more


You ask for more baboon blood in your Starbucks tall latte


In order to get in better with your new boss you concoct a crazy scheme involving cross dressing.


You randomly stab curtains wherever you are, quite sure you're being spied on

[zanna]

you actually use Shakespearian insults on people :lol: . . . my friend has a shirt with lots of them written on the front; they can be pretty funny.

[The Jackle]

Right some more;
You say thee's thy's and thou's in normal convocation;(if a convocation with thee's, thy's and thou's in, that is not about the early translated bible, can be considered normal. lol.)
You start having a sudden urge to become king of Scotland by killing a man named Duncan;
Three witches start speaking you in the street;
You develop a strange habit of carrying a dagger or sword wherever you go;
You start plotting to murder all whom deny your unquestionable greatness!
P.S my favorite Shakespeare insult is, considering I am a Briton, is "you Prince of Wales".

[Pendragon]

When you wake up every morning exclaiming "Hark what light through yonder window breaks!" http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/muede/k020.gif

[kathycf]

You have read too much Shakespeare....When you become obsessed with the idea of getting rid of your mean old uncle who married your mom. eww.

[The Bookinator]

You know you've read too much of a certain bard who will be namelessly named Will when...

When someone cuts you off in traffic, instead of pulling up the finger, you bite your thumb at them.

You use rather bad (if not amusing) puns like Pendragon.

You go to your girlfriend's house and hide in her garden.

You walk around in leggings and those weird puffy pants.

You make detailed theories about Anne Hathaway actually being related to Shakespeare. (The actress in the Princess Diaries, not Will's wife. :p )

You not only use your thee's, thy's and thou's, but you also talk in long, complicated ways.
Example: Oh, what a nice day!

...*thinks*:idea:

"Oh how the golden beams sweep the azure expanse, like the golden hairs of God. The tempting beauty of life stills my heart as the world dances her swirling flight of fancy! If only every breath of my life were as sweet as the silent whisper of the trees and the lark's ballad of enchantment and love. Aye, what a mirthful the Lord hath given us."

(Okay, not very good Shakespearian, but its my first attempt. Oh well. >.<)

And you REALLY know if you perhaps read to much of Shakespeare if you make up threads like this one. ^_^ Woot for Woland! :lol:

*bows left* *bows right* *accepts flowers*

Everyone's were great :lol: , right then, one last


You set fire to the reproduction of the Globe theatre in London while reciting Henry VIII

- You've gone mental :lol:

[dramasnot6]

When you mix up your spouse/gf/bf with your best friends (Midsummer Nights Dream)
When you try to tame fiesty people
When you serve people their family members as a meal
When you go to a bar and ask for mead, a vine of grapes, and a drumstick
When you start using a quill
When you turn into a donkey

:lol: Great thread idea!

You were good, Bookie! I thought that was a quote from the Bard!

Okay here's mine:

You know you've gone Shakespeare-mental when you start to call him Will Shaky because his real name is a terribly long one.

[RobinHood3000]

Why not Willy Shakes?

You phase out "God's honest truth!" and "Scout's honor!" for "Yea, verily!"
You only buy ButtSoft toilet paper, and don't know why (...what light through yonder window breaks!).
You don't even blink when you see three bearded men standing on the heath with a Magic Eight Ball.

[The Jackle]

Hark, thou has read to much of the shakespear when thy strives, in the glory and grave of the erternal god, to find thous heaven symtoms caused by thine infection of sprit-of which no leach can succle.

(i hope that was O.K, it was my first atemt!)

[Pendragon]

You've read FAR TOO MUCH SHAKESPEARE when you're doing the wash, and someone hears you exclaiming: "Out! Out, damned spot!" :lol:

[RobinHood3000]

You involuntarily growl every time you hear the name "Iago."

[The Bookinator]

You have nicknames for all of the characters. (example- Macbeth would be Macky, Hamlet would be Ham or Hammy, Romeo would be R-dizzle, etc.)

Aye! My typing's so bad today, I've had to go back to edit it 3 times now! >.<
I'd like to blame it on a broken finger or such but I guess my aim isn't so hot right now. ^_^

[Pendragon]

Someone asks if you are injured and you respond: "It is not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door..." :lol:

Your alarm clock intones "The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night." :lol:

When you hear Kiss's hit song "Beth" you get cold shudders at the words "Beth I hear you calling, but I can't come home right now..." :lol:

You get pissed everytime someone refers to you as "Mac". :lol:

[Nightshade]

You know your obseesd with shakespear when you go around singing 'willow tree'

or when its freezing you stand around saying things like "blow blow thou winter wind "
Or when you nickname your skelton Yorrick.


You know you've gone Shakespeare-mental when you start to call him Will Shaky because his real name is a terribly long one.

:lol: When Im taking notes I tend to write and think of shakespear as shakey,

[dramasnot6]

When you do what I do and say Good Morrow instead of Good Morning to perfect strangers
When you call rumor spreaders or gossipers an "Iago"
When you view social hierarchies at school as Great Chains of Being

[Eels]

- When you start to speak in iambic pentameters (fluently)
- When you don't let your youngest daughter date, before the oldest one gets a guy
- When you constantly notice "something rotten in the state of Denmark"
- ...

[dramasnot6]

[Pendragon]

When you refer to a moor as "a blasted heath", and keep an eye out for three witches... :lol:

When every breeze reminds you of Ariel, and you aren't thinking "Little Mermaid"...

You become obsessed with how much blood a person actually does have in them...

You beware the Ides of March...

You drop contact with any friend named "Brutus"...

[Niamh]

you know you've gone shakespear when you;
hold a skull in you hand and cry 'Alas poor yorrick i knew him horatio!'
View the whole word as a stage
when everytime you are a part of a trio who is parting ways say 'when shall we three meet again in thunder lightning or in rain'
Start to use mirrors and feathers to check and see if someone is breathing.

[ennison]

You stay inside on the Ides of March
In moments of panic find youself crying out 'O for a horse with wings'
In moments of excited pleasure you cry out 'O wonderful,wonderful and most wonderful wonderful, and yet again wonderful and after that, out of all whooping!'
Anything big seems 'very like a whale'
Still reading you 'hear the chimes at midnight'
You are forever waking calling out 'Methought I heard a voice cry'
Your mind dredges up schoolday quotations that you thought you had long forgotten

[Pendragon]

Your tractor breaks down and you shout "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"

When people ask about your granddad that was killed in the Navy during WWII you use the words "Full fathoms five my granddad lies."

You are always "Much Ado About Something!"

You are notorious for getting all loans in writing and mentioning "a pound of flesh!"

You are obsessed with hand washing...

[Niamh]

You play dead so you dont have to do something you dont want too...
You dress up as a man to see if your husband will keep a sworn promise...

To get someones attention you cry out, Ho!Ho!
When you've being feeling down and someone asks you are you alright you reply 'aye, sad hours seem long.'
You tell you children to 'neither a lender nor a borrower be'
When someone asks you what you are reading you reply 'words, words, words'

(Pendragon that one with the tractor made me break my heart from laughing)

[Pendragon]

You "Bite your thumb" at people...

Your fencing instructor has to keep reminding you that it's an epee, not a "fiddlestick"...

That cute African-American waitress indignantly informs you that "She is not an Ethiop, you @@##!!"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Miss Darcy]

you actually use Shakespearian insults on people . . . my friend has a shirt with lots of them written on the front; they can be pretty funny.

Hey, I do that!


You say thee's thy's and thou's in normal convocation

I do that as well. :D

You know you've been reading too much Shakespeare when you start seeing verses about you on every tree in the forest.

[Pendragon]

You hate family reuions because you have suspicions about your uncles... :lol:

There is a human skull named "Yorick" anywhere in your house... :lol:

You've given thought to the phrase "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers..." :lol:

You think your house is haunted and go about crying "Avaunt! Avaunt!" as if that would do any good if the haunting were real... :lol:

You are uncertain that time and Tide will clean your hands... :lol:

"Leer" means a King to you... :lol:

You never heard of the Hatfields and the McCoys, but you know the Montagues and the Capulets... :lol:

[Whifflingpin]

"you know the Montagues and the Capulets... "

I don't know the Capulets, but I've been on a boat trip with Lord Montague. (not that I'd admit that in public!)

When, before going to bed you put out the light, and then put out the light.

[RobinHood3000]

There is a human skull named "Yorick" anywhere in your house... :lol:You know how they make those plastic singing fish trophies? They need a plastic singing Yorick skull.

[Pendragon]

You know how they make those plastic singing fish trophies? They need a plastic singing Yorick skull. True. He could recite Hamlet's "To be or no to be' speech! http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/scull.gif
