"Ye same olde"? That appears to be an attempt at humor using Middle English. Here's a brief article about how the "y" in "ye" is a misspelling of the "thorn" (þ) character: http://www.bartleby.com/68/15/6615.html The Icelandic language still uses the thorn character, if I'm not mistaken. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
