3. Thanks. It's an older one, I know.
And the Bush twins have been fairly well behaved lately. But when I saw the quote, I knew I just had to run it.

4. Another kick for the afternoon Loungers.
:kick:

Man, nobody's coming to visit this one. Did everybody suddenly fall in love with the Bush partygirls?

10. I am drooling in ecstasy and admiration
As an English teacher, a Shakespeare afficionado, and a radical left-wing hippy type, I am left wondering: how did I miss your daily Shakespeare?

I'll be passing around the daily Shakespeare journal to friends, family, and coworkers in the morning.

12. Cool!
As you can tell, I love Shakespeare.

My wife was playing Goneril in a college production of "King Lear" when we started dating.

Her rendition of "milk-livered man" was incomparable.

11. Either Regan or Goneril there. That house is poxed.
Definitely not Cordelia. I looked for Sunday's post, and somehow missed it. Looking forward to tomorrow's Shakespeare.

13. I don't post the Shakespeare on Sunday.
So you didn't miss it.

14. It's not hard to imagine these two behaving like those two.


(I was going to look up the line then remembered my concordance is holding up this couch! One of the legs broke and that was the only thing handy that fit! :blush: )
