1. Heh.
He does, however, promote plant growth. :rofl:

2. My dear Aristus.....
Before the picture downloaded, and all I could see was the quote....

I just knew it was going to be Bolton!

Another great quote!

Thank you for doing this, every day! Except Sunday, of course!


:loveya: :hug:

4. Always a pleasure, CalPeg.
I like the understated tone of today's quote. I mean, I love it when the Bard really burns someone, but in this case, less is more. :hi:

3. Yea, good to see you this morning, Aristus.
Good choice. He always looks cranky to me.

5. Good to see you, too.
Well, my own daily feature got its first disruptor today. For some unknown reason, Orsino decided to be a real horse's patoot this morning. He totally bogarted my Shakespeare feature, and when several other DU-ers and I called him on it, he was all: 'Oh, did *I* do that? Silly me! Oh dear! I didn't possibly OFFEND you, did I?"
:argh:

Oh well, better than indifference, I guess.

6. Good one.
Yeah, I was wondering what happened. I guess imitation is the sincerest form, and all that. Looking forward to Monday's quote.

7. Well...one or two copycat threads might have been flattering.
He posted at least sixteen by my count. That's not flattery; that's being assholistic for its own sake.
He was trying to, as his "Twelfth Night" namesake might say,: "Give us excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken and so die..."

I only have about six or seven regular readers of WSTFTD. I don't want to lose them due to being overwhelmed and ultimately bored.

Your loyal readers will always be loyal!

You are the original, and the best, Shakespeare quoter!
