crowdSPRING Celebrates Shakespearean Sonnet Day (Again) Ross | November 19th, 2009

Sadly, our last Shakespearean sonnet day was this past May. If you’re wondering what Shakespearean sonnet day is – we made it up. We read Shakespearean sonnets to celebrate … ummm … Shakespearean sonnets.

In May, Kevin handily defeated all challengers and he’s been boasting about his prowess nonstop for months. Jeff Clark, our newest employee (designer/front end developer), not impressed at all by Kevin’s tattoos and fancy Elton John glasses, very simply said: I challenge thee to a duel!

Their video duel is below. YOU are the judge. Who wins this one? Leave a note in the comments…

Giving it to the newbie. He was more committed to the effort and the Max Headroom shades did nothing to help the incumbent.

NEXT CONTEST: Who can read a pharmaceutical disclaimer the fastest.

Amanda – Jeff really did step up. Voting still open, so we’ll see… As for pharmaceutical disclaimers … interesting….

I believe those are a poor man’s Kanye West sunglasses–and why do I look like a ghost in the background?

Why is Jeff so thirsty?

Not so much “thirsty” as “too lazy to walk to the kitchen to drop off my used stuff”.

I thinks it’s jeff… =D

Ross – I think you gave Kevin a better camera angle. He barely had to glance up to spew forth his sonnet. Jeff, however, had to turn his head approximately 42 degrees to make the all-important eye contact with the camera lens. ( But at least you could see his eyes.) I call it a draw.

A baseball cap + Shakespeare seem so wrong… but even so, I have to give this one to Jeff.
