1. Lol! Great! Shakespeare is unreadable, so I can't see goofus

being patient enuff to wade thru any plays----heck, I can't see him being patient enuff to get thru the cliff notes.

[ERF]

7. And Bush is unlistenable so they actually go quite well together n/t

11. You just need to get used to the language.

It's actually very readable once you get used to it. Remember, Shakespeare was written for the lower classes and as such is pretty easy considering when it was written and it's bawdy as hell!

Such as this dirty little scene from the rarely performed, Love's Labour's Lost...

COSTARD
By my troth, most pleasant! How both did fit it!
MARIA
A mark marvellous well shot, so they both did hit.
BOYET
A mark! O, mark but that mark! A mark, says my lady.
Let the mark have a prick in't, to mete at, if it may be.
MARIA
Wide o' the bow hand. I'faith, your hand is out.
COSTARD
Indeed, a must shoot nearer, or he'll ne'er hit the clout.
BOYET
An if my hand be out, then belike your hand is in.
COSTARD
Then she will get the upshoot by cleaving the pin.
MARIA
Come, come, you talk greasily, your lips grow foul.
COSTARD
She's too hard for you at pricks, sir. Challenge her to bowl.
BOYET
I fear too much rubbing. Good night, my good owl.
COSTARD
By my soul, a swain, a most simple clown!
Lord, Lord, how the ladies and I have put him down!
O' my troth, most sweet jests, most incony vulgar wit,
When it comes so smoothly off, so obscenely, as it were, so fit.

2. Rouge Shakespeare Stout is gooo-ood.

* could not possibly have such good taste in beers!
But I guess he said he read the labels. He didn't say he drank them.

[maine_raptor]

9. But which word?

The transcript uses the word "read", but.....

Notice the label and the color of the bottles. I'm willing to bet that when empty the color lightens and the bottle turns REDDER. Thus, maybe it's some good ol'boy Texas slang for having emptied the contents of said beer bottle, i.e. "dead solider".

Therefore, the transcript of the interview has a spelling error, the word is "red".


And now his statement; "I red 3 Shakespeare's" makes sense.

3. This is the second thread I've seen about 3 Shakespeares.

I missed the original reference. A little hint, please?

5. What a piece of work is Shrubby

How ignoble in reason
How limited his faculties.
In form and moving, how dull and unadmirable.
In action, how like an Evil-doing AWOL Skull & Boner...

And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? The man delights me not.

With massive, profuse apologies to da Bard


Alas, poor Dorkik. You have stolen elections, lied to America about WMD, read "my pet goat" while America was under attack, and gone cake-eating when hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. What a treasonous dork thou art...

[WePurrsevere]

8. I just figured it was the comic book versions....

;) although this publisher's versions are probably too advanced for Bush. :evilgrin:

From here: http://www.shakespearecomics.com/



It probably wasn't the same publisher but it was in comic book form that I was first introduced to the many stories by Shakespeare back in the late 60's/early 70's after I saw, and absolutely loved, Much Ado About Nothing on PBS. I was so enthralled with most of his stories and sonnets that I went on to read most of his works in adult form when I was in 7th/8th Grade and kept a running journal of quotes I liked from his works. B-)

(edited to add a forgotten apostrophe :hangover: )

[Chipper Chat]

10. I know for a fact that he read "The Taming of the Shrub"

but sources close to him say he did not like it at all.

12. Ever since Shrubby read Camus he's been in existentialist turmoil

Shit exists, and I am shit. Therefore, I exist.
