4. Kick!
My favorite "whipping" quote: When Polonius tells Hamlet he will treat the players as they deserve to be treated, Hamlet responds:


"Use every man after his desert, and who should 'scape whipping?"

6. I've always loved that one.
I'll try to find a way to attach it in a meaningful way to the B*sh cabal.

7. Morning, babe. How are you?
If you want more knowledge of Shakespeare, the best book I've ever read on acquiring a good solid knowledge of the Bard is "The Friendly Shakespeare", by an author whose name escapes me right now. My copy is read to tatters (so you'd think I'd remember her name), and it is very interesting and readable. If a person who hated Shakespeare, through never having it properly taught to him, were to read it, he or she would come away from the book a raging fanatic, like me. B-). So check out "The Friendly Shakespeare."

Have a good day, sweetie! :hi:

8. Good morning to you, my dear Aristus!
I am happy today....my pic thread just got to flame status, and that never fails to please me!

And the sun is brilliantly out!

It is so good to just sit here, and talk to my friends all over the place!

I will check out your book.....it sounds very good!

I am currently (slowly) reading "Will in the World." If you haven't read it......I recommend it highly!

I wish a fantastic day for you as well! :loveya: :hug:

11. It is about how Shakespeare became the man we know.....
And I don't remember who the author is, either!

But it is an excellent bio of him......absolutely riveting!

Sorry.....I just assumed you knew about it! :blush:

:loveya: :hug:

12. Hmm. The link broke. And it's too late to edit.
I'll just try again.
