Saturday, September 17. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day

[Aristus]

"I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music..."

Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene 2, Line 19.

[livetohike]

1. Ack! Need a graphic warning on the subject line :-)

Have a great weekend Aristus :hi:.

[Aristus]

4. Just the fact that a women like her is recognized nationally should serve as a warning to us all.

All the same, I apologize for not posting a heads-up... :hide:

Have a great weekend, too, livetohike... :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. This is too perfect, my dear Aristus!

Thank you!

:yourock:

[Aristus]

5. Thanks, CalPeg.

Will and I are at your service...

3. As always, Bill and you nailed it. n/t

[Aristus]

6. Will was good at vicious social and political commentary, as long as it wasn't directed

at the Tudors or the Stuarts. He knew better than to bite the hand that fed him, or could have beheaded him...

:hi: sarge! :patriot:

[sarge43]

8. Although I think he got in a needle or two.

He made Richard III so over the top can't help thinking of the play as a subtle parody.

[Aristus]

10. That's the thing: Richard III (Shakespeare's version anyway) was pure evil.

But he was also charming, seductive, super-smart, brave, a cunning warrior, and a matchless leader. He was almost the hero, instead of the villain, of the play that bears his name...

[sarge43]

14. Yup. Bill could cut through the crap.

His command of language is one thing, but his laser like ability to see to the truth is down right scary.

[DoBotherMe]

7. Of whom is Will speaking?

I've not read nor seen Julius Caesar. Great stuff! Dana )

[Aristus]

11. Caesar was referring to the soothsayer who, a few lines later, delivers the deathless:

"Beware the Ides of March!"

Oh, by the way...am I bothering you?... ;-) :P

[pacalo]

9. Hahaaa! Well done!

With ALL the teabillies put together in one photo, how about this quote:





"There's small choice in rotten apples."

The Taming of the Shrew", Act I, Sc. I

[Aristus]

12. Bravo! Well done!

:applause:

You can be my substitute when I'm out, like Johnny Carson's guest host... :P

[luv_mykatz]

13. Like!

Thanks for the shout of laughter. :)
