Ahhh... Annie, I think you may have thouroughly trounced the guys with that one. Love Midsummer Night's Dream. Of course I mean that in a the most platonic way possible... . Puck is one of my favorite characters, but Iago actually tops the list. What can I say... I have a soft spot for evil men. (Is that a dagger in your pocket or are you just happy to see me .)
Now, all of this proposing is fine, but I wanna know the most important thing... where are our rings... Hmmmm?

I have to say, after reading through four pages of proposals, I feel supremely disappointed that not a single jatraquero/a has come out and expressed their eternal burning desire to become a lifelong recipient of my uber-lovin'.

Ophelia, I'm just mad at you because you turned down my generous pants offer.
Ophelia, you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily...
(Don't worry about my singing voice, guys. I've aggravated my voice so that I may roar as sweetly as ny sucking dove. I will roar you an 'twere any nightingale.)

quote:I don't "do" shakespeare. I've READ him. He just should never be read... his plays should only be watched.
Okay, Paul. I don't entirely agree, but I can at least see where you're coming from.
A tangent: Midsummer Night's Dream is The Play I Got Sick Of in 11th grade (spent waaaay too much time on it in Shakespeare class, then was a fairy [Mustardseed, I think] in the school production of it, then went and saw it in Stratford, ON with the school, then the movie came out and we all refused to see it). But I liked it before then, and would probably like it again now.

Of course you don't agree You're a william nut
Interestly, my brother agrees with me... and he'll be teaching high school english next year. Student teaching it this year. I wonder what he's going to do when he's supposed to make his students read shakespeare...?
Anyrate, I think I need to start flirting again... any willing targets for me to wax poetic about curves, tangeants, and derivatives? Posts: 4112 | Registered: May 2001

Listen, Paul, once a high school kid reads Shakespeare, and realizes it is about 75 precent smut, they love it. The more they read it, the more puns they will get that they missed the first time.
The trick to reading Shakespeare is this: read it. Read it again. Read it a third time, etc.

"I wish I were your derivative, so i could lie tangent to your curves." Any math geeks on the thread...? Posts: 4112 | Registered: May 2001

Q, I just told your line to the lady I work with. She laughed for almost a whole minute and asked me where I got it from. It was a hit. Thank you very much.
Hatrack improves my work reputation. I tell them the highlights, and they think I'm hilarious.
