Title: "Hey you guys!"
Post by: VIII on March 25, 2009, 01:19:42 PM
*Shh*
Someone give me a renaissance era word or phrase, and let's see if I can work into the Opening Day Speech from the Parapet. ;) It'll be my way of saying, "Hey you guys!"

"A special greeting to those traveling from the far away land of quartz and webs"

or even better

*"The Rum Is Free All Weekend" makes for a great opening line*

I second Teach's "The Rum is free..." idea!   ;D

Good thinking Teach ;)

I say the word should be either quixotic or phantasmagoric.

just becuase it'd be interesting to see how you'd work them into a speech. (:

"Welcome lords, ladies and all gentle being from far off worlds", that should cover everyone including Darth Vader and his kilted stormtroopers

To thou beest born to strange sights, and things invisible to see I give special welcome this day.

It a parephase from a John Donne poem published in 1633.

"Humanism"! My vote is for "humanism"! OK, um, maybe not. :)

Hmm. "Unfold your thoughts, my lord," and maybe help us remember that although "to a wise man, all the world's his soil," we always come home to Faire!

Yeah, that was really reaching. I will leave the phrasing to better minds than mine. Maybe my humours aren't in the right balance! Good luck! I will be there, listening for the "Ren-lectric Company" shout out!  ;D

Saturday's line will be to note the passing of X of Red Star into Valhalla

*See Post #48 below*

Sunday will probably have an Easter theme (peep-peep) ;)

Just to let you guys know, I will probably not use movie quotes as they are usually recogniseable.  Even though I LOVE Monty Python, it's been done,... namely by Monty Python :P
