Charles Rewrites Shakespeare

You may recall Mike's suggestion vis-à-vis the last Bastardizing Shakespeare post that someone rewrite one of the plays in Ubbi Dubbi. Charles took on the task and painstakingly rewrote a scene in one of Shakespeare's plays. Can you guess which play (and scene) it is?

Guh. Why'd you do that to my brain? It bleeds.

rkfinnell said...

So? He can talk gibberish. Big deal. LOL
The quiz today needs to die a painful death.

Stacia said...

An amazing acheivement, truly. And I might have misspelled acheivement. It's one of those words I can never get right.

Unknown said...

Um.....yea?

Unknown said...

I tried to take the quiz, but question 5 "You're in NYC for a day alone. How do you entertain yourself? " stumped me. "Trying to find a way out" was not an option.

rkfinnell said...

I agree with Kanrei about the quiz only they didn't have What the hell would I be doing in NYC? As an option. LOL

Charles said...

I would like to say, I don't, let me make it perfectly clear, I do not speak this stuff. I figured it would be fun to write a script to produce it. So I did. It produced this from clear text in about a second. Just so I could experience what it was like, I wrote a script that would read it. So technically, my computer speaks gibberish.

rkfinnell said...

Oh, okay. LOL

Serena said...

I can't "speak the language" but I thought it was a rather amazing exercise. I can, in fact, pick out enough words to tell from which of Shakespeare's plays the passage comes. Thanks for doing it, Charles.

Charles said...

Although I can produce, and even read it, when I hear it, I certainly don't understand it. I guess that's just one of the things that classifies me as a visual person. I'm certainly not an aural person.

Lee said...

lol....I thought I must have been drinking and forgotten that I had!

Charles said...

I'm beginning to think we've stumped everyone, SJ. The question remains unanswered, "Can you guess which play (and scene) it is?" Not even an answer in the negative.

Serena said...

I know, Charles. So far, nobody's gotten it. Time will tell.

Charles said...

I think you need to offer a prize, something like a hearty 'attaboy. I'll contribute a matching 'attaboy.

puerileuwaite said...

Holy crap! Great translation work, Charles! I loved Zoom (after all, it was MY Mickey Mouse Club, and it was quite enjoyable watching the girls "develop" their, um, acting skills), but I always hated when they spoke Ubbi Dubbi, because I couldn't decifer it real-time. I was more of a Pig ... or should I say Pug ... Latin aficionado.

G-Man said...

I Prefer Igpay Atinlay!!
Ouyay Ockray Erryshay!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxox

Serena said...

"Attaboys" I can afford, Charles. I'll put a big fluffy one up for grabs.

I can't do it real-time, either, Puggy. Not since somebody stole my freakin' decoder ring.:)

Galen, you know I flunked Pig Latin 101. I have no idea what you said. Better not have been a curse or something.:-)
xoxox

Charles said...

I think he said he prefers gay latins or something (wink.) Jus' kiddin'.

Serena said...

I can take Ricky Martin in small doses. Am I going to have to fight G-man for him?:-)

Sling said...

"Since His Majesty went into the field,I have seen you rise from your bed,throw your night-gown upon you,unlock your closet,take forth paper,unfold it,write upon it,read it,afterwards seal it,and again return to bed.."
I don't know from Shakespeare,so I'm guessin' "King Lear"

Serena said...

Good guess, Sling. Alas, it's not King Lear.

Sling said...

"Who's on First?"..

Serena said...

Who?:)

Hale McKay said...

LUBOL! Chubarles, thubere subeems tubo bube ubat lubeast thrubee ubof ubus whubo cuban rubead thubat UBUBBUBI DUBUBBUBI.

Gubood jubob!

Hale McKay said...

By the way, I can read it and compose with it, but I cannot understand it as it is spoken.

It's sounds like gibberish - sort of like what you hear when Dubya tries to speak the English language, especially when tries to pronounce "nuclear."

Mona said...

Hale, Four can read it actually... Me too. It becomes easy after some time :) :)...

Mona said...

Dubya Man is still alive?...

G Dubya B...

Serena said...

Charles, do you want to go ahead and spill the beans about which work it was?

Charles said...

Its your contest, SJ, I just did the translating. Of course, bleeding brains can be fun, as long as their figurative. Feel free to let it out. Let me know if there might be others you want done in the future.

Charles said...

they're, duh.

rkfinnell said...

Macbeth Act V Scene I

Serena said...

It was, in fact, Macbeth. One Attaboy coming right up.

rkfinnell said...

I'm not a boy, but thanks.

You know me and trivia like stuff. As much as reading it irritated the crap out of me, (No offense to Charles) I couldn't leave it unanswered.

A hearty 'Attaboy, to Roxan, THE WINNER! Yay!
