By Odin's Spear! Henceforth, we shall speak in a manner befitting proper Norse warriors! My blade thirsts for the blood of my foes, and death rides beside me! By the Son of Odin we shall triumph, brethren!

But of course, he of fair eyes. Hark, the smell of danger is near, In the nearby tavern we shall seek refuge, ail, and wenches.

Ale you fool! By Thor, I shall teach you proper English through the power of my BLADE!

Ye fools are as good at speaking properly as great Tyr is at keeping hands! Fenrir have ye intellect, for us of the All-Father's tribe drink a hearty mass of MEAD! MEAD I SAY! To the gallow trees with the lot of you! Ale you say... bah.

Ha! For surely mine hammer be mightier than your blade, and his foul spelling, for it is the hammer of GRAMMAR! Come, warriors all, to the longboats, so that we may strike fear into the hearts of the meek in our coming! For we be carrying with us the fury of the All-Father, and Skadi's wrath shall fill our sails, Now to plunder and glory!

...and my axe.

That's what we need. A talk like Gimli day. Where every time a person near you finishes a sentence or statement, you follow with "...and my axe!". There you go. I win.

Hmm...

I believe this talk like a Viking thread deserves an RP as fitting tribute!

Talk Like A Stereotypical Indian Day, The Casino Kind Not The Convenience Store Kind, Fine Native Ameerican You PC Bastards. Great River Spirit tells me in my dreams that this will catch on and run like the buffalo.

Awesome picture

I laughed pretty hard at that, haha.

Me and friends of mine have actually done this before. It was pretty funny.

"My people are close with the wind spirits *puts ear to ground, and a finger in the ear* Mmm... a cold front comes this way.... also your car is being towed."

So it's Talk Like A Viking Day? We should do this on the Escapist for one whole day. Perhaps in a few weeks time to get everyone into it.

I'm down.

I'd prefer Talk Like An Ork Day.

"Does any of yoo grots 'ave any problems wiv dat? Or am I gonna haf ta throw yez in wid da squigs like all da uvvers?"

I'm down too!
In previous years I've talked like a viking during talk like a pirate day (since technically vikings are just Scandinavian dark age pirates)

Edit: With extra awesome

Uhm. I'd like to enquire about the possibilities of us having a "Talk like Bob Ross" day.

Everything would be smooth and happy. So everytime someone pisses you off, you can just dismiss them cheerfully as "a happy little accident" and move on with your day. We could all speak in a pleasant and easy going manner, things would be so chill.

I am down as well, why not Talk like a Viking Week, or Month even?
The Longboat is parked out front.

HomeAliveIn45:
Talk like an episode of The Twilight Zone:
"We're coming up at an intersection, where time, coincidence, and Maple Street meet."

Hahahaha! Yes! I want this one!

I'll also drop in "Talk like Jack Baure" day where you basically say the same things you normally do, but with a tone of intense urgency in your voice

"Quick! I need a double whopper with no pickles! DAMN IT! WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!"

Yes! I like that one!

Yes. So much yes. Can we set a date?

Talk like the G-man Day.
"My "employers"........ want Volkssswagon."
Talk like a Viking, O wait the idea is so good it came up again. Wink Wink

Talk like Kratos day.
"Why is it the Gods have me do this?!" "Sir, just pay the parking ticket."

If you want piece and quiet, talk like Gorden Freeman day!
......................................................

Ethier Viking or Jack Baure. Or, Jack Baure the Viking! Not really, but ethier would be cool.

Hmm, I really like Viking, Ork and Ye Olde English Style.

but until everyone agrees we won't set any date.

Talk like a Clasically Trained Actor day.

I second the talk like Gordon Freeman day.Only one person gets to be the annoying rebel.

"Don't forget to reload!"

Talk like Khell day.

It would be very loud and nobody would agree on anything.

I'm seconding the Bob Ross Day idea. That man has achieved a level of chill we mere mortals can't hope to truly mimic, but it sure would be fun to try!

Darth Mobius:
Talk Like Jack Bauer Day: February 4th, or as we American's call it 2/4... Good, NO?

Oh no, so soon? Time is running out! The president's daughter's friends won't have time to send out the RSVPs! This is a matter of national security... Get me the phone, I have a plan!

Also, I'm going to echo the talk like a Viking day. I'm going to write so much nonsense on that day, you guys're screwed.

When's talk like a pirate day this year, just out of curiosity? I know its always september.

Talk like an Ork day sounds like a real gud plan.

So I guess no one wants to talk like a retarded robot dinosaur, or, I'm sorry a retarded ALIEN robot dinosaur on "Talk Like Grimlock Day"?

Come on you guys, its GRIMLOCK!

The Iron Ninja:
Why not just a whole day where you are drunk?

Uh, Saint Patty's Day?

Edit: Also, Talk Like Yoda Day

Najos:

Edit: Also, Talk Like Yoda Day

Beat you to it, bud.

To it, you were beat. Mmhm.

Yeah I'd be up for Viking day, or some kind of British Day, but what I'd really like is:

Talk like a "Noir character or Hard-boiled Detective Day!" but instead of an internal monologue you say it all out loud. Aim for long winding sentences and contrived metaphors or similes.

"I clicked on the Off-Topic Discussion thread, where it would lead me I didn't know, all I knew was that I it lead where I needed to go. Once I was inside I began looking around, it was a darkly lit thread, a madhouse with suggestions thrown left and right. Like an intricate spiders web, strands tangled up all who entered, except that the Spider was no mere insect, but the OP Purple Rain... the corrupt core of the apple that was the Escapist."

Or in everyday situations:
"I hadn't slept, the case was troubling me and it was early morning. I walked up to the counter, the dame smiled at me although beneath that happy exterior she looked like trouble. 'Can I take your order?' she asked cheerfully. She looked like so innocent, at odds with her dingy surroundings, at odds with this city... blonde hair swept up into a hair net, blue eyes shining out from underneath her uniform cap. She looked like an angel, but could I trust her? After all I had seen many fallen angels... In the end I ordered a Sausage and Egg McMuffin, with a hash brown. As she turned a way from me the heavenly smile dropped from her face and too late, I realised that I'd made a mistake..."

Think Max Payne, Lewton, Hartigan or Sam Spade.

Quite frankly that is one of the best ideas I have ever heard Armitage Shanks. Here, have a cigar.

The thread reeked of two-month-old sweat and tired writers nursing active thoughts, or bitter coffee. I could tell no one was paying attention to who all was coming and going, so I took a seat at the bar. "Talk like a wiseguy, huh?" The waiter barely noticed, the has-been shmuck. I could tell rain was going to fall like the pieces of the Berlin Wall if I waited around too long. "Yeah, I can get behind that talk like Noir broad." The dame looked like a million bucks, and I hoped I could get my fill. Time would tell, tick-tock...

Talk like a G-Man day would be so confoundedly difficult to do in text, but possibly the coolest sounding thing ever. If only, if only.

Aries_Split:
Talk like an Australian.

"Hey Mate, lets go throw some shrimp on the Barby.

Kangaroo's"

Don't crucify me!

it amuses me that you have no idea how we talk. all those Australian stereotypes you love so much are actually made up by Americans for movies. not that you would know this, since you clearly dont know any Australians ;)

Ares Tyr:
You guys are doing the Viking thing all wrong. It goes more like

"By sweet Odin's Raven! Yonder wench's heaving breast be the most supple I have seen since the day a shining valkeryie nearly brought me to holy Valhalla!"

Vikings don't speak ye olde english...

PurpleRain:

"Ay! Thatz a goot idea! Ya brainz smart! Ya need more choppy!"

This is actually closer to viking in my opinion :P

I second speak like Vincent Price.
MmmmYYYEEEEESSSS!

Ah, but being a New Zealander, I know tonnes of them.
And I would say that Aries_Split's post was right on the money.
And Aries_Split? You good sir may also have a cigar (I have alot of cigars to get rid of)

I second speak like Vincent Price.

Sorry for not knowing ancient Scandinavian languages.

I also second "Talk like a Hardboiled detective/G-Man Day".

If you've ever seen the indie movie Brick, that's pretty much how it's done. I love that movie, and I love the dialogue especially.
