Saturday, September 12th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"Away, I do condemn mine ears, that have so long at-
tended thee."

cymbeline, Act I, Scene 7, Lines 141-142.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Ah, my dear Aristus...

Trump and Shakespeare.............what a combo!

Good job that you and Will do, always.

Thanks!

[Aristus]

4. Thanks, CalPeg.

I had to do this one by myself. Will and I didn't have dinner together Thursday night to hash things out.

He's still in Stratford, wrangling some legal hassles for his dad. Good news: Will was granted the coat of arms 'Shakey John' was denied a few years back...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. What a gorgeous coat of arms!

I understand why he had to be home to take care of this.

Wow!

[Aristus]

6. You should have been there for the unveiling.

Will: "...and it's got, like, spears and stuff in it! Get it? Get it?"

John: "Yes, yes, son......I get it..."

2. K & R

I don't condemn mine ears but those of the media who promote this fool.

3. Perfect!

7. I didn't realize that WS knew DT

“Thou subtle, perjur’d, false, disloyal man!”
The Two Gentlemen of Verona

“Thou art like a toad; ugly and venomous.”
As You Like It

“Thine forward voice, now, is to speak well of thine friend; thine backward voice is to utter
foul speeches and to detract.”
The Tempest

“Thou art a flesh-monger, a fool, and a coward.”
Measure For Measure

“A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner
of no one good quality.”
All’s Well That Ends Well

[Aristus]

8. All of which quotes I have used at one time or another for WSTFTD since 2006.

And all fit DT like a diseased glove...

Hi, ailsagirl!

[ailsagirl]

10. Nobody insults with such class and distinction as WS

I hope I didn't ruin your original post-- I just couldn't resist posting a few additional gems,
particularly in light of that frightful photo of the Rump

[Aristus]

12. No, not at all. I enjoyed your addition to the fun.

[ailsagirl]

13. You're the epitome of graciousness, Aristus

A lesser DU-er might have drawn-and-quartered me!!

[Aristus]

14. Well, if this all went down in GD...

I'm afraid I'd have no choice...

[ailsagirl]

15. .....

[Aristus]

16. Ha!

[love_katz]

9. Wow! Between WS quotes provided by Aristus and ailsagirl...

you both have NAILED tRump.

[ailsagirl]

11. I'm just an interloper...

But nonetheless a fervent fan of The Bard's

Thanks, love_katz!!
