more No-Fear Shakespeare lunacy

'Cos sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying, here are some choice excerpts from Twelfth Night 2.3.

Real Shakespeare: "The Myrmidons are no bottle-ale houses."

No-Fear Shakespeare: "Great warriors aren’t mom-and-pop diners, you know."

Real Shakespeare: "A contagious breath."

No-Fear Shakespeare: "His breath stinks." (N.B. No, this is NOT what it means at all.)

Real Shakespeare: "Let our catch be 'Thou Knave'."

No-Fear Shakespeare: "Let's dance to 'You Jerk'."

Real Shakespeare: "Malvolio's a Peg-a-Ramsey."

No-Fear Shakespeare: "Malvolio's Little Bo-Peep."

Ugh. Way to suck all the poetry and wit (and therefore the fun) out of Shakespeare.
