Oh the eloquence I have had robbed from my magic quill...

The pain and sorrow that eddied from my dying, trembling hand that went the way of Hamlets father, the tragic king of Danes when they were once more than a clever actress...

The sorrow that does befall this sotted grey matter that no longer matters.

Nothing like a literary reference to raise the tone!

I don't know which post got rubbed out, and it doesn't matter. It did a great job of amusing, so a +1 for wit, alone!

These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
The glass of fashion,
Thrift, thrift, Horatio!
We came, crying hither,
back to DU2.
