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

She's Catwoman looking for a Batman

What about Catwoman looking for another Catwoman? Damnit, the hot girl-on-girl action is always an afterthought.

I was tempted to send it back to 'em proofed, but I didn't know if it was a test, or if I might offend the person who wrote it. So I just cut and pasted things into my cover letter, and corrected them.

Hamlet thinks Ophelia might be happier in a convent

so nunnery != whorehouse?

Um, no. Hamlet follows his "Get thee to a nunnery" line by asking Ophelia why she would want to be a breeder of sinners.

Hamlet has become revolted by sex, because of his mother's o'er hasty remarriage to Claudius. He's telling her to live a life of celibacy, if she wants to find happiness.

Though, yes, in Elizabethan slang, whorehouses were also referred to as "nunneries," and Shakespeare was fond of making exactly that kind of double entendre in his works, the context of the scene suggests that this was one of the times he did not intend the line to be suggestive.

"Nunnery" was Elizabethan slang for "whorehouse," though. I mean, yes, Hamlet has flipped his shit and gone all St. Paul with the "don't marry" bit, but to read it as just a straight line is really an incomplete reading, and not nearly as salacious as it comes across with the "whorehouse" bit tucked in there.

Hm. I disagree. Hamlet is pretty contemptuous of Ophelia there, and he's not speaking out of concern for her future well-being by saying to her that it's better if she doesn't marry; he's saying that, because she loved him (in good faith, I might add), she's a big whore, *like his mom.*

Oh, Hamlet. You so fucked up, dude.
