BTW, are you a Shakespeare professor, as you seem to know just about all of his works.

3. No. I'm not a professor of anything, actually. Just a fan.
And the truth is, I cheat a lot. I have four, count 'em, four complete Shakespeares and a number of books of quotes and things to help me put this thread together.

4. Did you read those four Shakespeare's over the summer?
It's just that you are able to find the perfect quote to match the picture (or is it the other way around). Anyway, thanks for these threads!!

:thumbsup:

6. Ha-ha. I doubt that Georgie boy read anything of Shakespeare other
than the Cliff's Notes; and even then he probably didn't understand any of it.

No, what I meant is I have four complete collected works of Shakespeare:

1. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.
2. The Yale Shakespeare.
3. The Riverside Shakespeare.
4. The Library Shakespeare.

The Library Shakespeare is roughly the size of the landing deck of an aircraft carrier. I mean, this thing is huge. I think I keep my delts and pecs in shape just by lifting the thing off the shelf.

9. Thanks, CalPeg.
I'm still looking for a good quote to slam Disney with. Haven't found it yet, but I'm not giving up hope.
