Happy Hour with Will Shakespeare. Ask us anything.

[Aristus]

Getting some dinner...

1. I only have one question for you both!

Where have you been???

I have missed you both something awful!

[Aristus]

2. My last few weekends have been busy.

Although I did post a WSTFTD last weekend.

Will has been in Stratford, catching up with the family. The King's Men have moved indoors to Blackfriars, and the repertoire consists of plays that were popular during the summer. So Will doesn't have to wield the pen right now.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Ah yes, I remember last weekend's offering...

It was a tough one.

Well, I'm glad you're back here with all of us now...

[TexasTowelie]

4. I'm in panic mode and the sky is falling so please help me!

How do Will and you propose to secure our border from the toxic tar sands oil that the socialist nation north of us wants to send? It's a damn Marxist plot and they intend to use the profits to fund their universal health care system.

[Aristus]

5. I got this.

(Will is still trying to puzzle out what it was you were saying...)

President Obama has supported the pipeline vocally in the past. But who knows what he'll do? He could veto the whole thing. Or the project could be mired in lawsuits for years. We'll get the Senate back in 2016, and we can re-assess then.

[TexasTowelie]

6. Thank you Aristus.

Now I can finish off the flask of apricot brandy in peace. I'll stamp "Return to Sender" on the militia recruitment card and place it in the mail now that I know our northern border is secure from socialist oil sands--maybe.

7. I'm a bit late for Happy Hour...

did you get the wind and rain today?

[Aristus]

9. Oh yeah. It was crazy.

The Puyallup River waterline is getting uncomfortably high again...

8. How was dinner?

[Aristus]

11. Delicious!

The owner bought me two shots of Ouzo; doing his best to help me drown my sorrows...

[In_The_Wind]

13. Did it help?

I can't seem to shake my bad mood since watching the election returns.

[KamaAina]

10. If all the world's a stage,

where's the audience?

[Aristus]

12. Will says: "We all are the audience, darling.

Each of us, every one. One to the other, and all of us for one. And as one to one, and all to all, ever thus shall we be."

[WinkyDink]

14. If we fail?

[Aristus]

15. WE FAIL!

But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail.
