Saturday, June 28th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"Stain to thy countrymen..."

Henry VI, Part I, Act IV, Scene 1, Line 45.

[Aristus]

1. Hmm. Fans of WSTFTD must all be watching the Olympics...

[nolabear]

2. LOL! What, they can't multitask?

Apropos, but he don't deserve Will's words.

What did you think of them opening with The Tempest last night? Really wonderful, imo.

Yeah, Mitt, what has Great Britain made? Shakespeare, Dickens, Thomas, Keats, Yeats, Byron, and The Beatles. You know, things that move you. Oh...right...

[Aristus]

3. I haven't actually watched the opening ceremonies yet.

Don't know if I will. We'll see...

If features of the ceremonies are driving the right-wingers bat-shit, then maybe I will.

8. The tribute to the NHS seems to have their skivvies in a wad.

4. Ah, wonderful, and too appropriate, my dear Aristus!

He sure is a stain!

I would have been here sooner, but when you posted this, I was on my way to the gym, and when I got home, I was busy banning trolls!

Thank you for your very appropriate quote.

5. That one made me LOL!

Good one! Thanks!

[Aristus]

6. Thank you!

[sarge43]

7. Snerk

Thanks Aristus.

Walk into a good friend's home and insult them. Stay klassy Mitt.

[Aristus]

9. I pored very carefully over the Falstaff plays, including "The Merry Wives Of Windsor",

looking for a line that was about an insult, and had the word "English" or "England" in it. No luck. But I figured one of the other 'Henry' plays would have what I needed, and I was right...

Hi, sarge!

10. Mitt says he pays no attention to "backsided compliments"
