My sophomore english class read MacBeth and we were each assigned a character to perform as in class. My friends and I were the witches, among others (I was also Lennox, for example), and we did the entire "thrice the brinded cat hath mewed" scene while dancing around the room and doing witch voices. Our actions got the class involved and made it a fun experience rather than tedious monotone voices reading the lines.

What I'm trying to say, OP, is that you've got the right idea with Shakespeare; that shit was meant to be performed.

I fucking hate it when pretentious little faggots hypercorrect like this. Nobody talks like that. Just say "how long has he stood there for" like a normal human being, and stop trying to use your imperfect understanding of outdated and ignorant prescriptivist grammar rules to make English do something it was never meant to do.

Shit man, whatever. As long as you're not doing things with your language for the sole purpose of pleasing uninformed people (like>>2704154). OMG somebody stranded a preposition, call the fire department!!! Fuck. English can do shit like this and not lose precision or meaning. If you think eloquence is needs anything else, you're smoking too much cock.

I'd forgotten that one - so it's not that good either.

That's not so much a meme as just telling Tao to fuck off, but I suppose it could be counted if you were desperate.
