From the Abuse Your Readers By Making Use Of Your Blog As A Commonplace Book Department:

TOUCHSTONE: Therefore, you clown, abandon, — which is in the vulgar, leave, — the society, — which in the boorish is, company, — of this female, — which in the common is, woman; which together is, abandon the society of this female, or, clown, thou perishest; or, to thy better understanding, diest; or, to wit, I kill thee, make thee away, translate thy life into death, thy liberty into bondage. I will deal in poison with thee, or in bastinado, or in steel; I will bandy with thee in faction; I will o’errun thee with policy; I will kill thee a hundred and fifty ways: therefore tremble, and depart.

—— Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act V, Scene I

They just don’t make threats like that any more.

I have nothing substantive to say about this, but DAAAAAMN that's good writing.

No kidding. Even after 400 years, The Bard is still Da Man.

Ever been to Bard on the Beach up in Vancouver?

Spotted, in the horror section of my local Borders:

Hamlet II: Ophelia's Revenge.

Poor Will.

Scott — Never been to Bard on the Beach. Definitely looks to be worth checking out.

I saw them do Measure for Measure a few years ago. Very well done. I've meaning to go back every summer since, but it never seems to work out.
