if this is how they talk, no wonder they had no time to run

Thoust plates doest runneth over

Clayton’s novel moves as slowly as some comic arcs—like “Popeye” and “Gasoline Alley”.

The turkey shall attack on the morrow.

Actually, that’s not how they talked.

LOL

I was at Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts last night and shared the current theme of Adam, and they thought it was quite funny.

First panel: “didst” is second person so he said “I you did, Elias!” Second panel: “doth soundeth” should either be “soundeth” or “doth sound”. Third panel: “shouldst” is second person and "runneth is third person so he said “You should we it’s running?”. “Indeedst” you don’t do that to adjectives, only verbs.Otherwise, perfect!

Jethro Bodine must be in his class at school?

The ‘eth’ ending goes on the end of words that end in ‘es’ in modern English. Not just random words.

Verily.

Wow! Thou linguists art a bloody lot!!

Giant turkey bird sightings must have been very common back then.

Great drawings for such a little boy, I have to say! Respect!

Yeah, I don’t think so.

Clayton, you came close, but you need to work on your iambic pentameter skills.

Shouldn’t Clayton respond, “I didith my research.”

This made me think of the Vulgate version in English of the good book.

Thou wrotest a verily goodest story, Clayton!

It’s not widely known, but before the invention of floss and toothpicks, the early Pilgrims suffered from week-long speech impediments after eating a bounty of corn. Thhhh-t. Thh, thhhhhh-t-t-t…

“We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing; We chastened and hastened Ann Hutchinson straight out Let Thy congregation escape her tribulation; Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!” {So much for freedom?}
