9. Well, the term 'scholar' in regards to Shakespeare may be a bit
aggrandizing; but, yeah, I'm a huge fan of the Bard and I love the many ways his writings remain relevant over the centuries.

Strictly speaking, the idea behind WSTFTD is not original with me. They've been doing a variation of it in "MAD" Magazine for years. I just thought I'd try my hand at it.

In the meantime, KICK!

5. BWAH!
:rofl::rofl:

I love this quote from Wikipedia: "In recent years Miller has also become known for his right-leaning political views, which have delighted some and outraged others. (Taking the stage after Miller had gone on a rant at a 2003 charity event, Sir Elton John remarked: 'When people say, "Why do they hate us so much? Why do they hate us so much?" Dennis Miller.')"

:rofl:

8. Road to Armageddon
Dennis used to be funny before he was struck down by the terrible wrath of the TRUE BELIEVERS on the Road to Armageddon!

10. This one came with a little bitterness. I used to be a fan of Dennis
Miller. Back when he seemed to be a powerful, angry and verbose voice for the left. Somewhere around the time Bush appeared on the political horizon like the Wicked Witch of the West on her skywriting broom, Miller began a slow but not very subtle turn to the right. It wasn't too long before he was in full servile, lickspittle mode with the Chimp. And I threw away all of his books and tapes. He's pretty much dead to me.
