hermes inspecting luke's dead body to make sure he's actually dead

I’ve posted exactly 1 thing on tumblr in the past 4 years, but my annoying new coworker has found all of my other social media (even goodreads), so now I am here at my one remaining last refuge to complain about her. what’s up, nerds

‪what she says: I’m fine‬

‪what she means: in Spongebob Squarepants S03E12 “Squilliam Returns,” Squidward famously tells Spongebob to empty his mind of “everything but fine dining and breathing.” we then cut to inside Spongebob’s mind, where we see a mini Spongebob wearing a visor to indicate his managerial status, who says to a roomful of other mini Spongebobs: “just got an order from the boss! dump everything that isn’t about fine dining!” ‬

‪but it wasn’t Spongebob, the presumed “boss,” who gave this “order”—it was Squidward. so... is Squidward “the boss” of spongebob’s brain?‬ and if he is, what are the consequences for this universe at large?

First of all, I apologize for this post being a bit late. I was JUST ABOUT to upload it when the internet at my house cut out. This should not have been a surprise, given all the various technical difficulties in the US yesterday…

Anyways… today’s comic deals with one of the more interesting topics in contemporary Shakespeare studies: Original Pronunciation!

O.P. and the amazing ways in which it has been reconstructed, deserve a lot more space than six stick-figure comic panels, but hey, barbarically reducing things of great literary and scholarly merit to their bare bones is kind of my “thing”. At the very least, now you know that when Hamlet tries to rhyme “move” and “love”, it’s not actually him pretending to be mad.

The super-linguist in question is David Crystal, whose praises I repeatedly sung. In his O.P. endeavors he has been ably assisted by his son, Ben Crystal, an actor who, armed with Shakespeare’s O.P., can make the prologue of Romeo and Juliet sound sexier and more piratical than you could have ever imagined. If you don’t believe, just take a listen:

Seriously. That’s gorgeous. Here’s a longer video, featuring Papa Crystal and Ben at the Globe:

It’s easy to get snobbish about Shakespeare and to believe it works only when performed in the elegantly trained received pronunciation of an Ian McKellen or a Benedict Cumberbatch. But, as the Crystals point out, received pronunciation is even further away from Shakespeare’s original accent than American are from it.

Shakespeare can be performed in any accent. English, Welsh, Scottish, American, Canadian, Singaporean, I don’t care. His words still have immense power. However, when you hear it spoken in O.P., you really get a sense of what it must have been like for those first groundlings at the first Globe Theatre.

So, this old post has picked up about 700 new notes in the past couple days, which makes me happy because the world needs (a) more appreciation of OP, and (b) more appreciation of the Magnificent Linguistic Crystals. Here, let me add on a couple more links:

Passion in Practice - Theatre company founded by Ben Crystal, does awesome OP productions. Or at least I assume they’re awesome, but they haven’t come on tour to Michigan yet. What’s up with that, Ben?

Original Pronunciation - Site run by the Crystals, including tons of great resources for people who want to learn OP.
