Monday, May 15; William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:

[Aristus]

"Oh, were mine eyeballs into bullets turn'd,
That I in rage might shoot them at your faces!"

Henry VI, Part I, Act IV, Scene 7, Lines 89-90.

1. Very clever

:thumbsup:

[Aristus]

2. Thanks!

B-)

[Spider Jerusalem]

3. And another:

'Meet it is, I set it down
That one may smile, and smile
And be a villain.'

Hamlet: Act I, Scene 5.

[Aristus]

5. That's very similar to a quote from "Richard III", as well.

I don't have my Shakespeare Quotations book in front of me (I'm at work), but I believe it is from the opening soliloquy (Now is the winter of our discontent...) and runs: "Why, I can smile and smile, and be a villian whilst I smile..."

[Spider Jerusalem]

7. It's ' I can smile. And murder while I smile.'

Still fairly similar, though.

[Aristus]

8. Thanks for the help.

:-)

I can't believe I forgot that one. I was in a production of Richard III once. I wasn't Richard, though. I played Clarence, who enters right after this monologue, so I should know it. :blush:

4. My dear Aristus!

Another excellent choice! You are doing it sooo very well!

I thank you, sweetie! :loveya: :hug:

[Aristus]

6. Thanks, CalPeg.

They aren't getting a huge reception right now, but I'll keep plugging away. "Today In The Lounge" and "Today In The Underground Railroad" both started out small, and developed huge followings.

I miss those features. :-(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Those features predate me, my dear Aristus.......

I never got to see them.....*sigh*

It sounds as though they were nice, though...... :hug:

[Aristus]

10. Yeah, they were terrific.

Now that I remember, it was actually "A Day In The Lounge", but I can't remember who hosted it. It would have some good trivia questions, wish some people happy birthday, and ask some interesting random questions. It was a lot of fun. I haven't seen it in, oh, probably three years or so.

DU-er Undergroundrailroad hosted "The Underground Railroad" until mid-2004 or so.

Great daily features that I really miss. Thought I'd start my own. Thanks for being my first regular. :hug::loveya:
