Saturday, September 1st. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"When all's done, you look but on a stool."

Macbeth, Act III, Scene 4, Line 66.

[Aristus]

1. Kick.

3. I think Will must have been prescient, my dear Aristus!

And how smart of you to find this quote!

I think you just might have outdone yourself this time...

Congrats!

[Aristus]

8. Thank you, CalPeg.

When I learned about the Clint Eastwood speech, I immediately dug in to 'Macbeth', remembering the scene in which Macbeth speaks to the ghost of Banquo, whom no one else can see, knowing I would find a great quote.

I was so overjoyed to find this line, I began to post a promo thread in the Lounge, telling WSTFTD fans about the next day's edition.

I didn't end up posting it, though. I convinced myself that the quote would be self evident, and that someone would beat me to the punch.

Stupid, I suppose, but that's how I felt. And I got a huge kick out of posting the edition this morning.

4. poor old guy

I'm laughing at all the jokes, but I still feel sorry for him.

[Aristus]

9. There's still a part of me that is convinced it was a piece of performance art.

Stranger things have happened...

13. Is he that good of an actor?

Stand up improv is a specialized and demanding form. The bit I could stand to watch was just embarrassing.

Anyway, you and Bill nailed it today.

[Aristus]

15. Thank you, sarge...

14. the bard has some bitchin' shades!

[turtlerescue1]

16. Well done once more Aristus.

Even more amusing is how words penned so long ago can stay relevant.

[Aristus]

18. "He was not for a time, but for all ages."

I'm not looking, but I think that was Sam Jonson's tribute to Shakespeare. Very true.

[Honeycombe8]

17. Excellente! nt

[Aristus]

19. Thank you, Honeycombe8!

Hope to see you here for future editions...
