Believe it or not, but May 22—today—is Talk Like Yoda Day. We find this rather awesome, because really, if we can have a Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19, when everyone becomes a pale imitation of Johnny Depp), we ought to have a day to honor one of America's favorite zen muppet/CGI/Frank Oz creations. Still, Yoda's peculiar speech patterns can be tough to mimic sometimes. So to aid you in preparing for this momentous day, we headed to the Yoda Speak translator, which turns most anything you type in into Yoda's trademark grammatically savaged sentences. In testing it out, we entered some great movie lines, just to see how Yoda would fare in other cinema—and as it turns out, the little green guy has some range. For your Yoda-speak education, enjoy, you should.
1) Frankly, my dear, a damn I give not. (Gone With the Wind)
2) I know what, thinking, you are. Fire six shots or only five, did he, hmm? Well, to tell you the truth, this excitement in all, kinda lost track myself, have I. But a .44 magnum, being as this is, the most powerful handgun in the world, and your head clean off would blow, got to ask yourself one question, you have: Feel lucky, do I, hmm? Well, punk, do you, hmm? Hmmmmmm. (Dirty Harry)
3) Remember you should what Yoda does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows from the sky fall, and shake do the pillars of heaven. Yesss, Yoda looks right in the eye of that storm and says "Your best shot you should give me. Take it can I." (Big Trouble In Little China)
4) Come here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, I am. And all out of bubble gum am I. (They Live)
5) Seen things you would not believe, I have. Gunships on fire off the shoulder of Kashyyyk. Swamp flies glittering in the dark near the Dagobah tree. In time these moments all lost will be, like tears in rain. Time to die it is, yessss…. (Blade Runner)
6) Tell you what I am blathering about, will I... Got information man, I have! To light, new stuff has come! And stuff... Man, herself, she kidnapped herself. Well sure, man. Look at it... Young trophy wife, of our times in the parlance, you know, and she, uh, uh, over town owes money all, to known pornographers including, and cool, that is... That is, cool, that is, I am, saying, I am saying, money, she needs money, man. And get it of course they are going to say that they did not, because... More, she wants more, man! Got to feed the monkey, she is, uh, I mean uh... To you hasn't that ever occurred, man, hmm? Sir, hmm? (The Big Lebowski)
7) Charming underclothes, you have. But put these on—less vulnerable they will make you feel. It is not often here that we receive visitors, no, let alone hospitality offer them! (Rocky Horror Picture Show)
8) Only think I guessed wrong, you do! That is what is funny, hee hee. Switched the glasses when your back was turned, I did! Fool, you are! One of the classic blunders, you fell victim to. Most famous is never to get into a land war on the moons of Endor, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go against a jedi when on the line death is! Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee…[thump] (Princess Bride)
9) My mama always said, “like a box of chocolates, life is; you never know what, going to get, you are.” (Forrest Gump)
10) Of Fight Club is the first rule—about Fight Club you talk not. Of Fight Club is the second rule—you talk not about Fight Club. Of Fight Club third rule, someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, over, the fight is. Fourth rule, to a fight only two guys. Fifth rule, one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no shirt, no shoes. Seventh rule, fights will go on as long as have to, they. And the eighth and final rule, if your first night at Fight Club, this is, to fight you have. Yes, hmmm. (Fight Club)
