SHAKESPEAREAN TEXTUAL THROWDOWN!
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Your incessant monologizing fills the castle with ennui
Your antic disposition is embarrassing to see
And by the way you sulky brat the answer is To Be
You're driving poor Ophelia insane
So shut up you rogue and peasant
Grow up it's most unpleasant
Cheer up you melancholy Dane
--from the potentially immortal Slings and Arrows song.

Good thing Jen's in the house. And Juliana and Fay. This could be a battle royale.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I save my Shakespearean throwdowns for the Sonnets. I claim no expertise of Hamlet, or any of the plays, though my amateur opinion of this particular scene sides with Teppy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I once heard a docent at the Art Institute of Chicago explain to a bunch of tourists that the women in Seurat's Afternoon at the Isle of La Grande Jatte were all in fact prostitutes so perhapes the whore is in the eye of the beholder.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think I agree with Teppy in this one, too.

Nobody kicks Sonnet ass like you. I still laugh when I hear someone use the Sonnets as a profession of undying love, thanks to you.

Huh. For some reason the entendre just doesn't seem to work for me, but it's taken me a while in the past to wrap my head around some of Shakespeare's jokes and entendres.

Well, he does tend to build jokes and metaphors around things like...the commonly held knowledge that rubies are in the foreheads of toads.
