bad "are you a LEZ?" from a bartender, good getting him fired
Go meara!
Feel better, Aimee and Suzi.
Someone send me schoolwork~ma so I can go snuggle up to the cute guy sleeping in the next room.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I probably shouldn't tell one of my fellow students that "To be or not to be" refers to suicide and is not about peer pressure, right? Note to self: Don't have a drink before responding to classmates next week.

Hey. New board.
Why on earth shouldn't you tell him that? I mean, other than the fact that he/she should figure it out him/herself?
I don't remember much of the speech, but I do remember the bit about "To die, to sleep; to sleep perchance to dream. And in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause." pretty much said "Hey, he's contemplating suicide" to me, even if I didn't get the "be" versus "not be" existential beginning.

Hey. New board.
Can I just add, Debet, that when I learned "wherefore" meant "why," it made that speech SO much more understandable? Only knowledge I remember from studying that play (which I hated, ever so much. Hamlet's a rather different story, though neither of them are Macbeth or Lear in my mind.)

Don't encourage me. I took two Shakespeare classes my first time around in college, and everytime I see an "inspirational" Shakespeare mug, or the like, I want to tell people, you know that was said by a fool or a villian or whatever the case is. I'm in a bad moood, I don't feel like doing school work, and Tara was right, the lack of good spelling on the internet is depressing.

Hey. New board.
Well, to be fair, just because it's said by a fool doesn't make it a line that's being mocked.
Polonius, on the other hand, well...

This is true, but those quotes often aren't meant to be the deep wisdom that people use them for.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Shakespeare did often write wise fools.
Gris, you left out a bit. I'm pretty sure that between "perchance to dream" and "for in that sleep of death", there "Aye, there's the rub", which makes it much more interesting.
That and it's supposed to be a mixed metaphor. Taking up arms against a sea is that futile.
I never studied Hamlet, and, really, I'm kind of glad for it. My teachers in HS had a habit of wrecking things I'd otherwise like.
R&J are annoying, though. And Hamlet needs to not be played by anyone over, say, 28.
