Yoda, the venerable Muppet-cum-Jedi Master featured in
the Star Wars films, is known for his method of warping
English grammar and rearranging words within sentences.
So is the Bard.
It seems logical that they should be combined. If Yoda read
aloud the scrambled phrasing of Shakespeare, maybe
it
would more closely resemble modern English in sentence
structure. Perhaps more likely is the chance that it'll just
sound even more garbled and incomprehensible. That
makes it the perfect pretentious audiobook for making
yourself feel more intelligent. Thus: The Complete Works
of Shakespeare, As Read By Yoda. May the farce be with
you.

Full fathom five Darth Vader lies;
Of his bones are metal made;
Those are screens that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a side-change
Into something dark and strange. |

It's not the language difference which makes Shakespeare hard to follow, and it is in any case trivial. |

What, precisely, is difficult to understand about that (apart
from the fact that it's missing a question mark)? |
|

I admit that I'm exaggerating the difficulty of understanding
Shakespeare. In fact, I quite enjoy reading his works. I just
like that both he and Yoda are zealous users of anastrophe
(thanks for the link, [jutta]). And trust me, not everyone is as
adept as we halfbakers are at deciphering poetic grammar. |

Yay for sooth. Shakespeare, as thine words reacheth from beyond the ages and drape glittering upon our hollow souls, you truely were the Justin Beeber of your day. [+] |

"Hear that ? That's Will S. spinning in his grave ..." |

To halfbake, or to halfbake not--that, the question is.
Whether, in the mind to suffer, nobler 'tis
The bones and buns of fortune outrageous
Or annotations to make a sea of troubles against
And,by opposing, them end. To post, to sleep--
No more--and by a post to end, say we,
The heartache, and the thousand shocks natural
That heir to is flesh. A consummation it is,
Wished devoutly to be.

A man there was, once, from Nantucket
Whose dick so long was suck it he could.
And with a grin said he
As his chin he wiped off ,
"If a cunt, my ear was, I could fuck it."

His grave, spinneth he therein. |

You'll be wanting to look at the 'Jenna Loves Gollum' idea, I think, Max. Or perhaps not. |

If Shakespeare were alive today he'd be spinning in his grave. |
