3. Good morning, CalPeg.
I'm glad you liked today's WSTFTD. Today's was another serendipitous post. I was looking for a quote suitable for skewering Disney for their sponsorship of the TV movie. I ran across this quote and decided to be a little more direct in the attack. If I can find a good quote, I still plan on letting Disney have it, but good. I'll just have to hit the books a little harder.

Good news! I found my copy of the Yale Shakespeare out in the garage. I can use that along with my Complete Shakespeare, my Riverside Shakespeare and my Library Shakespeare. That'll help, don't you think? :7

5. Oh, Aristus!
I am sooo happy you found your Yale Shakespeare!

But.........maybe you have too many books?

Just kidding! You can hardly have too many books on ol' Will!

Congrats on the great find!

4. LOL ! I love it!
It's perfect, as always. ;-)

Having sat through the first hour and a half of that
garbage, Sunday night, I couldn't agree more!
I wanted to see how much "editing" they did to
the tape. The answer is, not much!!

Aristus, not only was it fiction posing as fact,
it was one of the worst movies, production wise,
I've ever seen!

Disney/ABC should be ashamed to air that farce!

6. Well, in order to avoid over-using "perfect" I will say...
...exceedingly relevant, on-target and appropriate. :applause:

(not as to-the-point as "perfect", but you get the idea):hi:

8. "And for a woman wert thou first created,
Till Nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting,
And by addition me of thee defeated,
By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.
But since she pricked thee out for women's pleasure,
Mine be thy love, and thy love's use their treasure."



Heh-heh. We said "prick". Heh-heh, heh-heh.
