Saturday, September 13th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:

[Aristus]

"Let's leave this town; for they are hare-brain'd slaves."

Henry VI, Part I, Act 1, Scene 2, Line 37.

[In_The_Wind]

1. Indeed!

Perfect






Do you know who I am

[Aristus]

2. "Guys 'n' gals! There's a woman here who doesn't know who she is!

Can we help her out?"

[In_The_Wind]

4. Can you tell me ...

which way she came in so we can show her the way

[Aristus]

5. "Sure thing, ma'am. Russia's right thataway.

By the time you get to the bar's parking lot, you'll be halfway there. Tell Vlad I said 'hi'."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Perfect as always, my dear Aristus!

Indeed, they ARE "hare-brained slaves."

[femmocrat]

6. LOL

They are an embarrassment to sane Alaskans.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[Lady Freedom Returns]

A Kick I say for the Bard!

12. I posted this video in the Lounge a few months ago.

I was fascinated by the thought that Shakespeareans in England are actually performing his plays in a reconstruction of what they think 17th Century London and Warwickshire English sounded like.

[malthaussen]

14. It's definitely a good idea.

Shakespeare is so full of puns that don't come off unless pronounced "in period."

"If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon compulsion, I."

Apparently they also try to recreate the costumes, lighting, etc. Too bad they can't also do the smell and rowdy crowds. It must have been hard to do Romeo and Juliet with people throwing cabbage peels at you.
