Pettine makes a change

[George Cumby]

This would be incredibly ironic if the theory of Shakespeare being just a simple theatre owner employing some anonymous playwright was actually correct, given his styling as "the immortal bard."

My late older brother, with whom I had, well, no relationship, was a professor of Elizabethan literature, i.e.: Shakespeare. He'd be doing 5,000 rpm in the grave if this were actually the case.

Well this thread has really devolved into a piece of shit.

Hey guys, Captain Arsehole and Wonderboy are coming.

It's all good to take a hard look at failures, but 99.9999999% of your posts are pretty much saying the same thing. It's also ok to have just a little bit of enjoyment when your team is 9-3 and looking at a playoff push.

10-3 beeyatch!

Interesting factoid: bard comes from Gaelic and originally was used to refer to what we would call slackers, wandering musicians who couldn't get a regular gig. Later one of the Scottish novelists turned the bard into a romantic hero a la Shakespeare. So who's the bard of PR? It certainly ain't old Gee Bee Brandon. I believe it would have to be our wandering clown, APB.

I dunno, Skinbasket? Things haven't been the same since TyroneBigguns left

Actually, on further review, I'd say Woodbuck. A lot of his posts required the same amount of review and dissecting that I remember my english teacher having me do to comprehend a Shakespeare text!

Yeah. I was thinking mostly of the can't-hold-down-a-regular-job bit, whereas you're looking at ability to coin a phrase and walk that oh so thin line between brilliance and lunacy. On that count, I cannot argue with your Woodbuck vote, even if he rarely managed to actually walk in a straight line. And, no, things have not been the same since Ty left. I wonder what happened to him. Maybe he found illumination and peace of mind in the desert.
