Piffka--
I think Calilew was more interested in making a hip and erudite impression on A2K than in learning about language in general or Shakespeare specifically.
Really? Big miss, he did "but counterfeit".
He was lying then, about his aunt? hmmm
Piffka--
My scenario--based on very limited evidence--is that his Archaic Auntie feels free to criticize him on academic matters and possibily on his general behavior.
He was hoping for an A2K Auntie Bashing Party and was wounded to find himself the guest of honor.
We are a brutal bunch.
Sounds like she would fit right in.
<grin>
UhOh! Just quoted Noddy on nimh's smile thread and I said "cruel" instead of "brutal". Must have been thinking of "April is the Cruelest Month."
Yeh. must be. There's a thread on Abuzz which seems to involve a bevy of ladies discussing crewel work. Or maybe it's bargello.
or bordello..hee hee.
Wonder if niece and gobblygook are one and the same?
Oh, my goodness.
Ahhh,yes. Bargello in the bordello. Perhaps while listening to Bolero. Bravo!
Listening to Ravel's "up the sleeve of care". Never could knit, however.
This has been amusing.
And speaking of sleep, it's midnight here now. I'm off, perchance to dream.
(I'm half-remembering a quip about Shakespeare, when somebody said he had an easy time writing those plays; all he did was to stitch together a lot of well-known phrases)
Letty -- <groan> Ravel's sleeve of care!!!
I got a million of them puns, Andrew. Did not sleep last night(somebody destroyed innocent sleep) watching the most God awful movie that I have ever seen, and of all things it was about those frankenfish/snakehead fish.
It was a poor man's version of "Jaws" which was a poor man's version of Moby Dick.
Remember that, Andrew?
Jaws wasn't even a poor man's version of Moby Dick. It was an aquatic version of Abbot and Costello meet Dracula.
No,Jaws was good, in my opinion. The original one. The sequels were poor, as sequels often are, but I think the original film was very good. It certainly caught the public eye. Tellingly, the great fish was not seen until near the end. Scary. Mysterious. Masterly.
When we went to Universal Studios with 2 tiny children we had a tourist train ride with the Jaws fish coming up out of the water next to us - scary thoughts for my eldest for years!
McTag, Jaws was good because it was the first of its kind. I remember the first time that I saw Psycho. Hitchcock broke all the rules. He was a fantastic producer, director, writer, but he opened up a door that perhaps should have been left closed.
Okay, I admit it. I liked Jaws also. But I can't help being a wise-ass.
