My husband just came in to see what's wrong with me.

In July, I took a mini-vacation just because of Shakespeare. Yeah, I'm pathetic.

Then this will either make you laugh or cry or just go, meh.

Title: The Man Who Speaks In Anagrams
From: Monty Python's Flying Circus



Palin: Hello, good evening and welcome to another edition of Blood,
Devastation, Death War and Horror, and later on we'll be
meeting a man who *does* gardening. But first on the show
we've got a man who speaks entirely in anagrams.

Idle: Taht si crreoct.

Palin: Do you enjoy it?

Idle: I stom certainly od. Revy chum so.

Palin: And what's your name?

Idle: Hamrag - Hamrag Yatlerot.

Palin: Well, Graham, nice to have you on the show. Now, where
do you come from?

Idle: Bumcreland.

Palin: Cumberland?

Idle: Stah't it sepricely.

Palin: And I believe you're working on an anagram version of
Shakespeare?

Idle: Sey, sey - taht si crreoct, er - ta the mnemot I'm wroking
on "The Mating of the Wersh".

Palin: "The Mating of the Wersh"? By William Shakespeare?

Idle: Nay, by Malliwi Rapesheake.

Palin: And what else?

Idle: "Two Netlemeng of Verona", "Twelfth Thing","The Chamrent
of Venice"....

Palin: Have you done "Hamlet"?

Idle: "Thamle". 'Be ot or bot ne ot, tath is the nestquoi.'

Palin: And what is your next project?

Idle: "Ring Kichard the Thrid".

Palin: I'm sorry?

Idle: 'A shroe! A shroe! My dingkom for a shroe!'

Palin: Ah, Ring Kichard, yes... but surely that's not an anagram,
that's a spoonerism.

Idle: If you're going to split hairs, I'm going to piss off.

Here's one:

Erection. Not errection.

That is all. For now, anyway.

 

[Mary Hall]

Some people need to learn how to string a coherent sentence together

LOL...

You beat me to it...

Here's another:

Potato... NOT potatoe.

Dan Quail learned that one the hard way...

 

[Guest]

 

[phoenix1224]

I'm really not trying to be a smartass, but Dan spells his last name Quayle.

Well, I WAS trying to be a smartass (this being the spelling thread and all).

Bad joke, I guess...

[Succulent-one]

I know that I'm not the best speller in the world, but I've been noticing that more and more people seem to be unable to spell certain words. So, I've decided to start a list...


Orgasm... NOT orgasim, orgasism, organism, ect.

Masturbate... NOT masterbate.

Bestiality... NOT beastiality.


Sorry... I just had to get that off my chest...

But, feel free to add your own spelling pet peeves.

Gee, we can't all be perfect. I happen to be one of the worlds worst spellers and I have a graduate degree. That is what spell check is for.

 

[Eilan]

That is what spell check is for.

Yeah, but in order for spell-check to work, one has to have the sense to use it.

 

[phoenix1224]

I've been seeing this one a lot lately, and it's beginning to get on my nerves:

It's GIRL... NOT gurl...

 

[Mary Hall]

Something that is annoying, why do people need to type in an accent? I mean its the internet for god sake we dont need to know if you have a friggin` accent by typing it
