Saturday, September 22nd. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day

[Aristus]

"Female bastard!"

The Winter's Tale, Act II, Scene 3, Line 174.



With that, Will announces that he is leaving for Stratford-Upon-Avon for a well-deserved rest with Anne, Susanna, and the twins. But he will return before the election to skewer again the knaves and fustilarions of the right wing. Farewell to you all, from Will. Totus Mundus Agit Histrionem.

1. Ah, my dear Aristus...

You have more than earned your rest! I am sorry to see you go...

And you're going out with a bang! This is a perfect match!

Thank you...

Rest well!

[HopeHoops]

2. Damn. Is Ann in a contest with Laura Bush to see who can use the most Botox?

E-GADS!

[sarge43]

6. I'll say this about Pickles

She merely looked wasted or high. In that picture anyway Queen Ann looks like she could bite the heads off rattlesnakes and ask for seconds.

[HopeHoops]

7. Nah, rattlesnakes aren't an endangered species. They wouldn't interest her.

[sarge43]

8. Good point

Bite the heads off wolverines?

[HopeHoops]

9. Not endangered - how about baby Komodo dragons?

[sarge43]

10. Komodo dragons for the win. n/t

[HopeHoops]

11. She'd do it in public and want to know why the little people don't eat them too.

[sarge43]

12. They're much too good for the little people.

Give them any and they'll start to believe they're entitled to them.

[HopeHoops]

13. Ever see the movie "Matilda"? - The Trunchbull eats chocolate - "Much too good for children".

[sarge43]

14. No, haven't seen it, but I concur with the sentiment. n/t

[HopeHoops]

15. Oh, you SO have to see it. Danny DeVito narrates and also plays the asshole father.

The little girl (forget her name) from the new "Miracle on 32nd Street" and from "Mrs. Doubtfire" plays Matilda. It's one of the few movies that totally captures the nature of the book it is based upon.

[sarge43]

16. I'll check it out.

I've always liked DeVito.

[HopeHoops]

17. He did an excellent voice-over for "The Lorax".

[livetohike]

3. Have a terrific vacation!

[femmocrat]

4. :ROFL:

That is so appropriate... and true!

Have a great vacation, Aristus! We will look forward to more skewering upon your return.

[sarge43]

5. Fare thy well Bard and prince of players. Your audience awaits upon you. n/t
