BTW, Will apologizes for no WSTFTD this last weekend. As he puts it:
"I had forgotten that Robin (that's what he calls me) was working on Saturday". 'Working' comes out as "wayiking" in Will's Warwickshire patois. Charming.
How is everyone this New Year's Eve?

(10,418 posts)I think that's the first time I've ever used any variation of the word "splendid." Ol' Will must be rubbing off on me, eh?
What would Shakespeare be drinking on a festive night like this back when he was alive?

(66,462 posts)Expensive, but Will can afford it now. He used to have to be satisfied with a cheap local ale.
Happy New Year!

Lady Freedom Returns
(14,120 posts)Oh, and Will. What was the words again?
"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble. "
from Macbeth were they not?
Aristus
(66,462 posts)"So wild in their attire that look not like creatures o' th'earth, and yet are on't".
Will says he likes the wild attire in that pic!...

Any quotes from the bard regarding the approach of a New Year?
And sending to you, sir.
Aristus
(66,462 posts)"I see this is the time that the unjust man doth thrive."
The Winter's Tale, Act IV, Scene 4, Line 673.
Will says he hopes 2013 will be better...
But for now: PARTY!
Good to see you, love_katz!

Now if I had a photo bucket account, I could post a boolean algebra graphic. Maybe next year?
Aristus
(66,462 posts)Not to be is to commit suicide rather than live up to one's responsibilities.
Let's party instead!

(17,101 posts)I am happy, though very tired - I've been fighting some sort of a flu for almost a week, and kind of disappointed that there are no fireworks here. None across the Strait, either.
Just taking it easy tonight...about to nosh on some Roger's chocolates.
A toast to a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2013!
