so...yoda was a yorkshireman?
just saw a friend's yoda-related post on my f'list, and while i was trying (badly) to formulate a comment in yoda's famous back-asswards speech pattern, something hit me...
yoda-speak is really just a parsing of yorkshire phrasing, with the repeated fragment that bookends certain sentences removed from the sentence's beginning:
EXHIBIT A:
yorkshire: that is disgraceful, that is.
yoda: disgraceful, that is.
EXHIBIT B:
yorkshire: you'll come to harm, you will.
yoda: come to harm, you will.
i'm almost sad there's no more sequels, now. i'd be ITCHING to write the dialogue...
Q
'luke! by gum, lad, tha' hann't half come along since i saw thee last! how goes it with thy sister?'
