After liking yesterday's post about "this is sparta," I have decided to make another post about a battleshout because I can and because I am not creative enough to do anything else. So here's something else to think about:
There are few people
Who can successfully scream
"I am BEOWULF!"
That's right. You know why? Because they'd be liars. The 300 could've screamed it, but people would've been like "pfffft, no you're not.... you had me scared for a second." Obama could scream it during a speech, but people would look at him like he was crazy and it would just not be nearly as sweet as yesterday's cry. Really the only person who can pull this off is actually Beowulf. And he's dead. So really, this is not something you should go around screaming. You never know who you might offend. Other things are okay to scream though, as usual. For instance, if your name is Chad and you go around yelling "I am CHAD!" you might get some weird looks, but it wouldn't be a lie and would be within your rights. Just don't go around yelling "I am MACBETH" when in theatres. You'd be asking for disaster.
Because of work and such, I will make 2 short posts today (not unlike way back when).
