Last weekend my wife and I had a rare chance to go out. Being that both of us are introverts, we didn’t paint the town red but simply went to see a movie.
Which one? I had no interest in the new Spiderman but we did catch the immortal classic, The Tragedy of MacBeth.
This is my review of Oliphant Brewing Squall Me Squishmael Fruit Sour:
During my senior year in high school MacBeth played a rather large role. Not only did I take an elective theater course where we had a class trip to see a live showing of the play, we spent a lot of time in my English class reading it. My teacher took a particular liking to the play, and made the class on it memorable.
The movie itself starring Denzel Washington as the title character was actually done pretty well. It was casted well and filmed in a misty black and white that fits the story nicely. The first three scenes took place on a beach, and I assumed the sand was the stage but they later moved onto other sets so that threw me off a bit. The scene I was particularly interested, was the Porter scene.
This is Act 2, Scene 3–the scene after MacBeth murders the king, Duncan in his sleep. This scene exemplifies the trouble modern audiences have with Shakespeare, in that the language evolved enough they cannot always relate to what is going on. There are two purposes for this scene placed between a gruesome murder and another with more killing, in a play with an awful lot of killing:
- introduce the “hero” MacDuff and,
- comic relief
The latter often has to be pointed out to modern audiences because it simply isn’t funny. It is this scene where directors tend to get creative in order to get a laugh out of the audience. For example, in the kiddy diddler international fugitive 1978 Roman Polanski version the Porter was drunkenly falling over and even urinated in the corner before he opened the door. I was curious how they were going to do the scene here.
The porter danced, when he mentioned France he picked up his robes and pranced like a girl in a dress, and finally he slipped and fell over. Pretty meh. But since the scene was dark it was hard to see who the actor was. It was later on when I finally figured it out.
“Is it not thoust that hands my stapler?”
This got a chuckle out of me, so I have to concede: well done.
All in all this was entertaining. A rarity from an industry in its death throes because it no longer has ideas.
This is my first review that I can recall from Oliphant so I probably should have picked a style I tend to like but the artwork on the can was compelling in of itself. Keep in mind I am no fan of sours. The flavor notes have a few things I like but also everything I despise, bananas in particular. I was hoping it would be a screwball traditional take on a Saison since those tend to have overlap with “sour” but it was just screwball all its own. Its also nutty from the coconut and almond. Overall the flavor profile is complex and a lot of people will probably find it pleasant but others might find something lost in translation. Oliphant Brewing Squall Me Squishmael Fruit Sour: 2.2/5
Cnut was a cunte
The beer sounds horrid. I have no opinion on Macbeth.
This and this.
My teacher also spent a lot of time on Macbeth and I learned to really enjoy it.
More of a Lear guy myself.
Glad you and momma got out for a date.
Thanks for taking one for the team by trying that beer!
More of a Lear guy myself.
You don’t like happy endings?
I’ll even pay extra!
Same. Ran especially.
I think Hamlet is utterly silly, yet I still riffed a book off it. I also have no opinion on Macbeth.
Spoken like a true Ophelia.
When we studied The Scottish Play (I was a Theatre Minor) in HS we watched some film adaptation where they had bears in a cage and poking them with sticks. This is nowhere in the play, and for the life of me I don’t know the intention. But now any adaptation that does not include this is a failure of vision. For what else is more majestic and un-needed.
During my senior year in high school MacBeth played a rather large role.
It was junior year high school for me. Senior year was “The Tempest”. “Merchant of Venice” freshman year high school with “Julius Caesar” sophomore year.
I liked MacBeth.
“The Tempest” is more often than not the answer in Final Jeopardy when the category has anything to do with Shakespeare. They fancy themselves clever because that’s one the rubes to don’t often know.
Sophomore year we did Julius Caesar, Freshman year was Romeo & Juliet. We were also forced to read a lot of Orwell.
I’m surprised any school allows “Romeo and Juliet.” Underage teenage sex abetted by a religious official, gang violence with stabbings in the street, disobedience to parents?
You forgot John Leguizamo.
Probably the best telling of the play
Sounds like the sorts of things schools are promoting these days.
Not enough trannies though. Its out.
We read a lot of Orwell too.
The only thing I know about Macbeth is that some people say “Lead on, Macduff” instead of “Lay on, Macduff” and I get to be the annoying “Well ackshually” guy.
annoying
music, then: calms the savage beast
That is not the only time you are annoying. Don’t sell yourself short.

I can’t tell if it is someone who is a good guy trying to explain away his poor jokes and commentary or if it is a ‘suggested’ action that Spotify wants him to do.
It’s only 70 episodes, for the good of the party!
So much for my Spotify Premium,
From the Morning Links, Woodside, the town that is declaring itself mountain lion habitat to avoid building new homes, is also the home of Neil Young. Why does Neil Young hate poor people?
Because they listen to Joe Rogan?
Have you met poor people? they’re revolting.
Who would have that that Trudeau would be the person that would unite Quebecians with Canadians?
Fuckity fuck fuck
Look at Frosty go?
Meanwhile something like 2/3 of San Francisco is also zoned for single-family housing, albeit on smaller lots of course. And it’s full of people who sniff their nose at Woodside.
Why does San Francisco hate poor people?
From the dead thread, a summary of NC’s Supreme Court decision on electoral maps: “This proposed map is gerrymandered. That is wrong! Also, we command you to gerrymander black majority districts.”
The good kind of gerrymandering is required by law, IIRC. Voting Rights Act or some such nonsense.
A GOP “operative” friend of mine is saying the GOP will be losing 5 to 8 seats nationwide due to court meddling and Blue legislatures re-drawing districts.
Most but not all are in states losing a seat. He hopes, however, there will be an equal number picked up in solid Red states where a seat is being gained.
Conservatively, he sees only a net pickup of 15 seats (which would switch the House) and optimistically, 25 to 30 seats.
New York alone is gerrymandering four more D seats, which is about half of the total your friend mentioned. NY might have the least representative House delegation of the large states.
One or two censuses ago, they had a district literally connecting inner Buffalo to inner Rochester with a thin strip running along the Lake Ontario beach in order to get the desired “urban” vote. The 100 miles or so in between is hard GOP.
*snort* Here it is. It’s almost Maryland-esque.
“Squall Me Squishmael” on the can.
Should probably look up more Shakespeare since it inspires so many of the flicks I like. (need to rewatch Kurosawa’s “Ran” – still haven’t watched “Redbeard”.)
I think the last one I specifically picked up was Richard III – the 90s edition with McKellan. (and the Shakespeare-adjacent remaster of “Chimes At Midnight” with Orson Welles).
The one we really hammered in high school – for too long – was “Twelfth Night” – I was taking the Brit O-Levels GCSE English course my sophomore year. Better part of a quarter just on that one before we went and saw a performance – in Manila – pretty good though.
Also fond of Branagh’s Hamlet with Mel Gibson and a few others.
D’oh!
Thank you
Redbeard is kind of slow. Not saying don’t watch it, just don’t go far out of your way to do so.
Check out Branagh’s As You Like It, with the adorable Bryce Dallas Howard, Kevin Kline, Brian Blessed and Brian Blessed.
Those are two separate Hamlet movies, and both directors played Hamlet. The Branagh one also has Derek Jacobi, Julie Christie, and Kate Winslet, and is the least abridged of all the filmed versions IIRC. There’s an intermission, and 18th C Danish costuming. The Gibson version is more medieval styled, has Glenn Close, and Helena Bonham Carter as Ophelia.
Branagh’s Henry V will forever be my favorite Shakespeare adaptation, I think. That score is so great on its own, and there’s a way he does it that nothing sounds odd or is hard to understand. It’s not “performed as Shakespeare” in a way a lot of Shakespeare (even some of his other performances are) but it tunes your ear to the language early on and then it flows. It helps that the Agincourt sequence is 15 minutes long, I guess, but still.
Oops I forgot that Gibson didn’t direct – it was Franco Zeffirelli – who did the ’68 Romeo and Juliet that I saw in school. Had to get a parental permission slip cuz of the nakedness.
I liked the movie. I probably would not have enjoyed it without subtitles, since Shakesperean English is on the border of becoming a foreign language.
It had subtitles?
Shakesperean English = Blank verse.
is this thing on?
Huh. Well it worked that time.
Apparently WordPress objects to links of Blackadder concerning the Scottish play.
Did you just fly in from Berlin, and boy are your arms tired?
I know the US is trying to get something similar to what Canada is doing but It needs to be state to state so more people can be engaged. Sure a big one to D.C., but they will lock that city down like no tomorrow.
Who would have thought that the Canadians would start the movement that brings down the Covid regime.
Proud of those floppy-headed bastards.
Watching Viva stream and my goodness. All walks of life and the word on everyone’s lips is freedom. The beacon of light has moved from United States to Canada.
Rumble link for those who don’t want to give clicks to the “dont be evil” hive mind.
Thanks!
He has found the counter-protesters….its gold
I wondered about that myself. I think Canada is high enough on the oppression scale, yet high enough in the “familiar with Florida” to find themselves to be in the perfect nexus point.
**…without the option of moving to Florida like they have in NY.
Yes.
The Covid regime was never that bad here in the US outside of certain pockets like NYC, Philly, California.
There have also been success in rolling back Covid restrictions here in the US. Groups like Reopen NH and the Pacific Legal Foundation have successfully changed emergency powers laws. Reopen PA got two constitutional amendments passed that reined in Wolf. The US has had much more success in fighting the Covid regime than other places.
These two things have removed much of the incentive to protest. Tack on what is happening to the Jan. 6th festivities participants, and Americans are going to be slow to protest on the scale Canadians are.
One more thought: Florida has been relying on DeSantis. Because of DeSantis’ Road to Damascus conversion on Covid (remember, he initially locked the state down), there has been little to no incentive to change Florida’s lows on states of emergency or public health officials’ powers. If Florida loses DeSantis, Florida could easily swing into the grasp of the Covid regime.
That’s true. Like any other politician, DeSantis will respond to the incentives that keep him in power.
Some thoughts.
Someone I know through Reopen NH got me into one of the US trucker convoy groups on Derpbook, which led to the gab equivalent. There are also telegram equivalents.
There is a group for each region of the country. The ones I’m in cover the Northeast – PA, NY, NJ, and all New England states. I’m certain if you are interested, you can find the others out there.
The Derpbook group is a shitshow of people posting the same shit over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. “I’m in some-place-here, how can I help?” over and over and over and over and over again. I’ve been losing interest in watching the group.
I get the impression the group mods are overwhelmed.
I’ve seen some proposed routes through the Northeast. I assume the other regional groups have similar maps. If things pan out, there will be several convoys from many states converging on DC.
I’ve seen two proposed start dates for when the first wave of truckers, who are from California, will leave. March 1st and March 7th.
My gut tells me this is too far out in the future. I don’ t know if the Canadian truckers can go that long. Maybe they can, maybe they can’t, I don’t know. The Canadian government, and possibly Provincial governmetns, will do something between now and then. Toronto, in anticipation of truckers and farmers arriving today, has started blocking off streets and neighborhoods. The government here in the US is preparing. I posted last night a Granite Grok story, claiming to be from an insider at NH DOT, that the DOTs in the Northeastern states are having meetings about how to shut down any trucker convoy. I expect this is the tip of the iceberg of US government preparations.
Yeah, any successful convoy would be starting sometime this week. After that, it’s going to be too late.
Agreed. It has to mobilize now or the next few days otherwise it will be routed where the government wants it routed towards.
Another update: March 7th is the start date. The folks behind the US convoy are setting up a web site to publish information, videos, etc. URL to come… sometime. They plan to leave Derpbook once the website is up.
I think that is 3 weeks too late.
Yep.
DEG: Interesting bill going through the NH legislature right now to loosen up regulations on Ivermectin.
Hard Bastard isn’t one of my favorite video makers, but he does a decent job going over the specifics.
I know about it. HB 1022. The ZeroHedge article he references got the bill number wrong.
And Leah Cushman is the prime sponsor, not the cosponser.
Those Ottawa police sure seem to be pushing to get their tanks out and crush them. Fuckers.

Yeah. Connections are spotty.
Posobiec said GSG says they’re having a DDOS right now.
In my ongoing marinade experiments, I’ve done a round of beef and pork chops with 1:1 and 0:1 oil to acid ratios as suggested by other glibs. the 0:1 just looks wrong and I get the impression it’s going to dry out the pork.
I rarely marinade pork but do brine it.
Always say “The Scottish Play!”
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Up and down, up and down,
I will lead them up and down:
I am fear’d in field and town:
Goblin, lead them up and down.
Jungle life, I’m far away from nowhere
On my own like Tarzan Boy
Hide and seek, I play along while rushing ‘cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon
All the world’s indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage
I just noticed that the beers name is a reference to one of the the worst novel ever but the artwork refers to one of the best movies of all time, very clever.
Worst novel ever? Surely Moby Dick is no worse than the Twilight series.
Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.
FedEx driver cuts across our yard from contiguous HOA cul-de-sac.
Me: hey, that’s our property, it’s not a street, it doesn’t look like a street, we paid for it, we pay taxes on you, and you are to stay the fuck off of it.
FED: fuck you buddy, I’ll do what I want
Me: why don’t you call your supervisor Mr BadAss and we’ll settle it with him
FED: fuck you, pussy, do something…oh, that’s right, walk away, I didn’t think so pussy
congratulations FedEx
I will just give one word of advice- caltrops.
If that didn’t end up being an onslaught of misery from Fed-Ex’s lawyers on top of private suits from that guy it might be a good idea. I imagine the trouble it caused might make you consider whether shooting the prick dead in the first place would have been a better tradeoff.
he’s kidding: you’re civilly and criminally liable for the foreseeable consequences of your actions; you can’t set booby traps to punish the bad guys, and you surely don’t want to hurt a good guy innocently tripping your wire
Yes, but I considered entertaining the hypothetical nonetheless. I’m genuinely sorry for your trouble. It seems given the current labor market that Fed-Ex is having to scrape the barrel just to get drivers in trucks.
right: virus theater has perverted markets, jailed people in their homes, and provided a cornucopia of moral hazard

Response to a couple threads in the morning post.
ContrarianP – I’m not sure about the numbers out of India either, IIRC Delta hit them harder initially, but I think the general climate would lead to outcomes more like Africa – a much younger average population out in the “fresh air” for longer periods – the die off never happened anywhere in SubSaharan Africa that I’m aware of (South Africa may have been higher but they also have more temperate seasonal climates).
Re: Amazon – for movies/general stuff like that I try to just get whatever is listed with “Prime”. There are a few 3rd party shippers I trust (esp for movie imports) that aren’t available elsewhere unless I go directly to their sites – which is tougher on shipping. OTOH, I’ve had very inconsistent results with many Walmart 3rd party shippers and they seem to be a higher proportion of offerings even for generic stuff than Amazon. The big thing is to try and stick to the official names and not get some Chinese knock-off crap – which is generally (but not always) obvious by the vendor name. Didn’t have much luck with that plug-in I posted a while back, but I definitely think companies should post “country of origin” data for products.
Do you know if the plug-in the one they posted on ADV China?
That was the “Cultivate” plug-in that they recommended – hasn’t worked well for me, but might depend on other settings/java blockers/etc.
Thx. That’s a shame, as I’m definitely looking to minimize “Made in China” from my buy lists.
Hard to say really. The warm climate would seem like it might help, but it’s really very hard to say in a country with that many people with so few hospitals per capita. The public health sector is practically nonexistent (I speak of government bureaus that actually track and compile data, not the meddlesome busybodies we hear from). Same is true for much of Africa.
That’s the real problem with these sorts of comparisons. The United States and Europe (also Japan and South Korea) really do a quite good job keeping track of this sort of information. Yes, there’s always room to question data or, more broadly, its interpretation but the collection systems are there. Other countries are not remotely as good, making cross country comparison very difficult, if not impossible, not to mention all the political crap that has become attached to covid that further muddies the waters.
general climate
There are so many things that help, that are simple, but we’re penny wise instead. For example, 50%RH is the design point that minimizes mold, bacteria, and virus propagation in HVAC, but it costs an extra $30k to add it to each air handler (check out page one). We’ve known that copper is hard on microbes for millennia, but brass handrails and door hardware are deemed too expensive.
I can’t wait until we decide to skip sewage systems and just go back to dumping chamber pots in the street.
Interesting.

it’s not that we….we humans…..don’t know stuff
Well, we’re disconnecting stormwater from wastewater systems and taking food waste out of the trash, on-site recycling of sanitary sewers isn’t that far of a stretch. And by on-site, i don’t mean septic or cesspool.
The Canadian counter-protesters are just saying what the government has told them to say.
“I cant go to church cause of the unvaccinated”, “You can’t drive drunk!”, “You can’t run red lights”.
Jesus.
“We had an election and we voted for this” About the most honest answer from the covidians ever.
A buddy of mine was very much into the free Tibet movement and he told me there would usually be a pro-China “counter-protest” bused in wherever the pro-Tibet protests would happen. He was once interrogated by the PLA after visiting Tibet, too.
The Canadian counter-protestors remind me of these CCP actors.
Having said that, a friend of friends of my parents is apparently a “professional protestor” who gets sent to various places to stage astroturfed demonstrations for whatever the money wants. I don’t know too much about her but I’d be interested to know more about who is funding it and what causes. I think it’s just standard stuff; climate, corporate shakedowns etc.
Redbeard?
Willie Nelson did a Shakespeare movie?
Movie must have been made 30 years ago then if Willie had a Redbeard. Never underestimate the make people, I guess
40 years ago. Willie Nelson is Barbarossa

A rarity from an industry in its death throes because it no longer has ideas.
case in point: remake number 9,628 of this play.
Heh. Mexi was a thespian.
Sure. The class I took was for set building.
You don’t have to get touchy about it.
Snow White showing up and being a complete buzzkill for the dwarves sounds like a pretty funny comedy premise.
And I like the thought of the dwarves being played by seven foot tall NBA players.
Fuck you, Dinklage, comedy is all about seven foot tall dwarves dunking on a five foot five hispanic Snow White who’s just a turd.
Yes. Make her a woke hipster and make the dwarves SoCons led by their Based Lord, Grumpy.
It’s just such a comedy goldmine and they’ll never touch it.
The dumb Aladdin remake bombed even worse than the stupid Lion King live horseshit, they could make a real gem of a movie and it wouldn’t even need to be based, maybe the idiot red state dwarves learn a lesson about their racist ways, whatever, but at least it could be funny.
Aladdin can be improved by setting it in modern day Iraq and turning the Sultan into a Iraqi Army officer auctioning off his daughter.
I guess that would no longer make it a kid’s movie. Whatever.
Jasmine should receive female circumcision to derive her of pleasure and should become property of aladdin.
Jasmine should be played by Gal Gadot, it is the only logical choice here.
Difficult People is one of my favorite shows. It’s woke culture through and through. It’s a series about a failing actress/self-absorbed narcissist. She’s married to Rusty Venture, who works for NPR. Her best friend/platonic life partner is a gay dude with a lazy eye. The lazy eye thing isn’t referenced in the show, but I don’t know him from anything else. He works for, and she regularly visits him at, a restaurant in Manhattan run by a black couple. Their other hires are an obnoxiously twee gay dude and a tranny who styles himself after Alex Jones.
All of those components are an A+ woke box-checking exercise worksheet, but it’s a hilarious series. They are capable of making fun of themselves. And a deliberately over-the-top woke Snow White would be terrific.
Oh and it’s all very, very jewy. Maybne that’s why it got as far as three seasons, it’s all very jewy.
Random – any recommendations for current “affordable” laser printers?
I’ve been working with a Canon Pixma for a couple generations (generally using the 3rd party ink tank refills) – esp since it has the built in scanner – but lately even after replacing multiple tanks and running test pages, normal printing isn’t working at all. Extremely frustrating – esp in tax season and with more Navy travel orders coming up.
So….a laser jet that would probably last 1000+ pages on a single toner cartridge – with a flat bed scanner would be an ideal replacement – if affordable.
I like this one, it does a great job with photos, and docs print pretty fast.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XYRDKDV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Well…the cartridges do look about 1/2 the price of when I was selling HP 20 years ago….did you sign up for “instant ink” – presumably printer needs to stay plugged in? Mine is on a little cart/table that I only plug in when I need to print due to floor space, etc.
I didn’t subscribe or even load the Bloatware it uses to connect to the internet, and unplug it when I don’t use it.
It may be what you’re looking for.
Have you gotten any free ink out of the up front price or didn’t print enough in 6 months to be worth it?
I have used Brother for a long while.
Pixma’s have worked for me since 2010 (this is 2nd)….don’t like throwing something out that may still work (scanning does)….wondering whether to try spending $ to buy a complete set of legit tanks and see if that kickstarts it….not an awful investment – but other than that…I guess these things are built to be disposable now. 🙁
That’s why I spent more to get a btter grade of printer, Pixma sucks X3,
Will second Brother. I buy generic toner cartridges off Amazon that comes chipped so the printer recognizes it. Costs around 20 bucks to print three thousand pages.
Third the Brother. We have our second MFC and the only reason for that was the new one has a duplexer and AirPrint. I took the old one to my office to use there and it’s still going strong ~15 years later.
Imagine if we had an honest media who cared about the truth. Imagine if there was a republican president while this was happening?
This story should be the only thing being talked about. Billions of people have been given this garbage.

Politifact fact-checked this to rate this “false”.
Their reasoning? An election officials statement that the previous years data was incorrect.
I am not kidding.
Apparently a government official’s statement to the contrary has full fact checking power.
That is pretty standard with the fact checkers. I remember a few months back seeing the “debunkings” of claims that the trannies in female prisons were engaging in both consensual and non-consensual sex in California. The only evidence they provided debunking the sources claiming this was happening was the word of one government bureaucrat who said nah.
I’ve always been more of a Shakespeare comedy guy, myself. We used to go to 4 of his plays a year when we lived in Wisconsin. I would always read them beforehand; it was a big help, but it still took a few scenes to adapt my ear.
I like the ones where everyone dies.
In first act, put the protagonist in a tree.
In the second act throw stones at the protagonist.
In the third act, bring the protagonist down from the tree.
If the protagonist lives, it’s a comedy.
If he dies, it’s a tragedy.
Tragedy is when I get a paper cut on my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

RC, I know what you mean.
Power finally came back on here after 32 hours. We have a generator, but it stopped working. 🙁
Probably close to a half-inch of ice, with a lot of downed trees. The main road was even closed this morning, a good 12 hours after the storm ended.
Weather Channel was showing some show about gold mining instead of the aftermath of a significant weather event, but then TWC has never really cared about the Catskills and points in NY further north. Out alleged “community” radio station, however, didn’t cover it either, playing what sounded like a pre-recorded public affairs show.
Hope you are doing well Ted, otherwise I won’t know what music to snark too
That sounds miserable, Ted. Hang in there.
stopped
nothing sucks more than when you do all the right things, especially expensive and conservative things, and then it doesn’t work out for you
Good that you have power back.
Damn, glad to hear you have power back now.
Glad you are back in business. Water pipes OK?
if not, laying pipe is a specialty of mine.
You could even say I’m First at laying pipe.
Matthew 20:16
As far as I can tell, no busted pipes.
I’m actually surprised power came on this quickly, considering the damage we saw when we ventured out. We didn’t know how extensive it was, and thought getting out of the house to go out for breakfast would be a good idea.
Apparently, 47,000 customers here in Ulster County lost power, which is at least a quarter of the population.
Holy shit!
Well, I’m glad it wasn’t worse.
Just got back from a VFW swap meet in Pahrump Nevada. Happens every Saturday apparently.
Got a lovely piece of wall art that is a pretty chunk of walnut that has had a lot of high voltage applied to create electrical trees. Really pretty. Had a great conversation with the HVAC technician who has modified several microwave oven sources to be able the create these beauties.
Then went one market stall over and paid cash for 38 special ammo, hollow points!!! All I’ve been able to get for years (thanks, Minnesota and California) had been full metal jacket. No IDs, no questions, just cash.
I love the big fuck-off town of Pahrump.
Cool!
Congrats! How about a pic of the art?
“…the big fuck-off town of Pahrump.”
It’s a big fuck-on town, too, if I’m not mistaken.
A First in hand is worth two in the bush.
Fuck you, I declare, as the maroon splotches appear all over my chest. Fuck off and all
Many years ago there was a theater company that wanted to put on a Shakespeare festival. They wanted to place an ad in the newspaper to get the word out. The newspaper charged by the letter, so being short on money, the theater company listed the plays as follows:
3″
6″
12″
Wet
Dry
What are the plays?
Hyperbole
Westernsloper
Tonio
Riven
Mojeuex
I will be the talk of the town tonight!
Bravo.
yikes
but good sports all
I would have placed ‘wet’ with NW’s new roommate, but I thought that was too soon.
I was in the pool. I WAS IN THE POOL!
I thought you’d be sad that Western was measured before you.
Now I have a complex.
3″ = Much Ado About Nothing
6″ = As You Like It (well…maybe…)
12″ = The Taming of the Shrew
The other two? ::shrugs::
Wet = The Tempest?
Antony and Cleopatra for dry?

We will get there, 4 weeks from now once the FBI has fully coopted the movement.
I can’t wait until Amazon and WalMart bans the sale of the American flag because it is insurrectionist, just like stores did in Canada.
I hope the truckers spread out to Hawaii. If they plug up the three 3-4 exits from Honolulu Harbor the entire state will end up shutting down.
…… the three to four exits…..
Stores did what now?
Canadians have been reporting that over the last 24-48 hours stores have removed Canadian flag merchandise for sale. Rumors are that the RCMP “requests” have been behind the sales ban.
Ah, seems a bit too on the nose for one side, I’m going to reserve judgment until I see more than ‘sources say’ and ‘rumored to’.
Beautiful.
They even have Cowboys!

Getting banned from Twitter really gave me back a lot of free time that I would have wasted smashing retards.

Apparently I tapped ‘Reply’ before saying whatever I was going to say about that, but apparently it’s still not the long-awaited sequel to Italian Spider-man therefore I too am not interested.
Is it called The Spiderman to sound all edgy and cool like The Batman?
I don’t follow this stuff at all, beyond the endless commercials.
