I don't know if anyone else has seen this yet, but 'The Big Lebowski' has been re-written in Shakesperian prose.

Coolest...thing...ever.
Fucking genius! :excited:
that is incredible
I was just reading the first scene out-loud to my friend. He couldn't help but comment on how nerdy we are. I love it :rock:
[Enter BONNIE LEBOWSKI and OLIVER]
BONNIE
[sings]
“With toe-nails of verdant and forester’s green
With a hey-nonny-no and a hey-nonny-nonny
Blow thrice on my toe-nails and I’ll be thy queen
And ever preserve me as thine, blithe and Bonnie.”
[to THE KNAVE]
I pray you, sir, blow.
THE KNAVE
Marry! But here’s a lady of good interest, whose toe-nails are the very green of the
common hump, where grass doth grow and where country lovers do foot. Whither shall I
blow, maid? For I am but a traveling tumbleweed, and may well be carried by any wind,
e’en south.
BONNIE
I mean only the wind in thine own maw in this case; blow, then, serve your turn and cool
my hot temper.
THE KNAVE
Sayst thou that I must blow upon thy foot, painted lady?
BONNIE
I ask this deed of you thrice now; and that which a damsel craves constantly is the service
of a tongue most moved in capability. Look to my foot; I cannot reach that far. Blow,
wind!
THE KNAVE
I fear thy charms. Will not thy consort mind
If I bestow his lady fair my wind?
BONNIE
Nay, there’s naught for which Oliver carest;
He mindeth not, for he’s a nihilist.
BRANDT
Our court’s noble guest must not tarry, Lady Lebowski.
THE KNAVE
Lady Lebowski? Then thou art Bonnie? A merry wife indeed!
BONNIE
And a lady of good housekeeping and agriculture besides, minded to economy and all
practicalities. Were thou to bring a gentle cock to my bed-chamber, I might help him to
success for ten shillings.
THE KNAVE
Such a lady of talents I have scarcely seen.
BRANDT
Yes, a most forthright jest! Free of spirit and good generosity, she is the nimble nymph of
Neptune, and we mark her with good humour.
BONNIE
Free of spirit but ne’er free for flesh. Were I to regale thee with parts of my humour, I
would not bid Brandt hear the play ere he paid a shilling himself.
BRANDT
Hark, a marvelous jest; but, I pray you, we dare not tarry. Come, Knave.
THE KNAVE
Yea, I shall come, and then return with money,
Or lose the labour’d love of fair Bonnie.
:rofl::rofl:
I would pay to go see that on stage:cowboy:
Not to be picky or anything but Shakespeare.
Maybe it was written by this Shakesphere:
