"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

Oh, talking like that would make me a bit confused on what I was saying. On occasion, I do like saying "better than thou", but then, that makes me a bit more confused then when I was before. 
Reading Shakespeare would've made me so confused if it wasn't for the little notes on the sides....so, the point of this reply is: No, I don't like speaking Old English.

The terrifying moldy bread incident! In elementary school, Yomi's leftover bread started rotting inside her desk! you can't imagine what happened! Not only that, but the mold had a will of its own, it was terrible! Barricading ourselves in the science prep room, we used spirit lamps and engaged in combat! Then I realized it!! If we only had the bottle of mildew remover from the bathroom, we could destroy them!!

I had no idea if I even said that right. (We had to learn some of these last year, but it collects dust in the back of my mind)

Shakespeare's great, but not really old english (early modern instead). Now Beowulf is Old English:
Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
I love how that sounds, but sadly don't know the language. Chaucer and Langland aren't easy either for that matter (well Langland is supposed to be awful in the original). I really would love to know Old English though.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

I like to talk like that for fun sometimes.. usually its when someone's ignoring me and I go "WHAT SAYEST THOU??"
I guess its an old-english version of Aragorn's line he repeats in LOTR:ROTK, "what say you?"
My favorite thing about 8-bit theater is when they have signs that say things like: WANTED: 4 Ye Olde Lighte Warriorse Ofe Destinye Toe Rescuee Kingdome Frome Darknesse Inquiree Withine."

Mwah! Chaucer!! ^___^

Or something that dost so resemble the above in spelling. Though, verily, I lack talent in Old English speech.

Aye, Verily I hath broken into "old english" on random occasions. I doth useth words such as 'tis quite often. And I regularly occasion to call maids "milady" and insult people by calling them "wenches" and "vagabonds." (Mostly me siblings and good friends.)
I am convinced that many men who preach the gospel and love the Lord are really misunderstood. People make a “profession,â€

Why yes I love to speak in old english. William Shakespeare is one of my best sources on it since I have his entire works but beowulf is also a very good source on the language.
