I think you can be way into English Lit and still think Shakespeare is overrated. Most universities don’t seem to share that opinion though. However, even though Shakespeare totally ripped off other stories and got mad credit for it, I will give him props for awesome diction.

Like, in one play I was forced to read there are some fat dudes and Shakespeare calls them “bacons.” WHOA. I did not even know bacon existed back then, much less that it was regarded as fattening! He was really ahead of his time on that one, just you wait and see. In the year 2014 I will be going to my high school reunion and my girls and I are going to look all fancy. Then we’ll see all the fat moms and say, take a look at those bacons! They’re so mondo large I bet they take apple fritters instead vitamins. Pa-Zing!

Yeah, the future is going to be pretty good. Although, since we will be using Shakespearean slang almost every word is going to have sexual connotations, but I think we’ll be okay. We should have a code by then, so when you ask where the dish detergent is the grocery clerk won’t point to his crotch and say, verily it is here fine maiden. I think you’ll have to like blink three times and then he’ll be able to tell you are referring to the regular detergent, not the sexy kind.
