What? End up splayed out on the couch snoring at the TV?
There will be splaying on the couch, but snoring and TV need not apply. :twisted:

ROFL. Did some Shakespeare while a youngun' (and Moliere' but that's a different tale). Used to laugh ourselves silly on read throughs when the meaning became clear.

I really enjoy his comedies but often struggle with his tragedies. Midsummer is a masterpiece but is not for everyone (esp if the directing, staging, tempo or a particular production aren't up to it). Shrew, Merchant of Venice, Alls well, Much Ado, etc Woot (when well done)!

One admitted saving grace of R & J was the bawdy humor, but that's true in most of his plays. My favorite is Iago's vulgar allusions about Desdemona to her father. Also, gotta love:
"You are a villain!"
"And YOU are a senator!"
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom,...Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you...; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

The fight between Jet Li's and Dolph Lundgren's characters was supremely amusing.
'Regulate' used to mean the opposite of 'constipate.'
