In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for August 02, 2023

Protecting the Queen.

It’s almost one in the morning, so this one went over my head. ???

It’s their Fight Song.

Ye all knowest, it’s “Rock Thee!”

Makes me think of ‘A Knight’s Tale’ from 2001.

It should be “we shalt, we shalt, oil thou”.

Whoooo let the dogs out? LOL

You don’t frighten us you English pig dogs! Your mother was a hamster and you father smelt of elderberry!!!! Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

“Go away or I shall taunt you a second time!”

When you try to make a joke using archaic English and you get it wrong, it pretty much kills the humor right there. It’s I shall, thou shalt, he/she/it shall, we shall, you shall, they shall. Of course, there is humor in laughing at ignorance, but that’s not what’s intended here—though it certainly is available.

Unfortunately for the, seconds later, a trebuchet team from the opposing army showed them “how you really do it”!

“Thou has mud on thy face…”

Oh thank you Ben!

Next song ‘We are the champions’.
