Having some cold ones with Will Shakespeare. Ask us anything.

[Aristus]

For fans of WSTFTD, there will be an edition this weekend.

[Ptah]

1. Should I trust my local merchant?

Will!

[Aristus]

5. What does he sell?

And at what price?

[Ptah]

9. He says he's from Venice.

[Aristus]

12. Beware. His shipping department is not very reliable.

Don't invest; you're likely to lose money...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. That's wonderful news, my dear Aristus!

I can't think of anything to ask!

How awful is that???

[TexasTowelie]

3. What do I do

to be buried in a marijuana field?

[Aristus]

6. Marry a member of the the Grateful Dead.

4. OK, this is embarrassing. Uh ... methought .. um ... I was enamour'd of an ass ... um ...

How came these things to pass?

[Aristus]

7. 'Twas a Midsummer Night's Dream...

[struggle4progress]

8. Sadly it has happened more than once. Gotta stop dreamin in midsummer, I guess

[Aristus]

13. Or falling for an ass, I guess.

Keep your standards high. If an ass by moonlight is still an ass by day, break it off...

[struggle4progress]

15. OK! I'll look at faces from now on! I promise!

[Aristus]

16. Don't kick yourself.

I'm kind of an ass-man myself...

[kwassa]

10. so is it Christopher Marlowe or Ben Jonson writing Will Shakespeare's threads?

We really need to know.

[Aristus]

14. Neither, as Will himself can attest, although he gets pretty pissed off

when someone insinuates that he doesn't write his own stuff.

Kit Marlowe was killed in 1594, long before Will own theatrical voice reached its peak.

And Ben Jonson's writing style was not remotely similar to Will's.

Will always when people overlook these obvious facts...

[Paulie]

11. Any sonnet for someone that has had 3 separate illnesses in last 10 days

Uplifting or depressing doesn't matter. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

[struggle4progress]

17. needs a little work ... but here ...

my mistress eyes are nothing like a shotgun
porsche convertibles are far more red then her lips red
if snow white marries dopey then my sonnet's done
if hares were tortoises, black spiders would nest upon her head
i long to see damascus but see just noses red and white
and dare not bump my nose into her cheek
from our LEDs would come more light
if she had but paid th'electric bill last week
i love to eat bacon, sprinkled with sweet-n-low
or listen to the calliope on the merry-go-ground
i grant she cannot well a baseball throw
and when she squawks, neighbors cringe at the sound
yet, by heaven! she cooks a steak so rare
you can almost hear it moo: so, there!

[Paulie]

18. Ha! Bravo!!!

I didn't expect an original work! Thank you!

[struggle4progress]

19. Don't show it to Will Shakespeare: he's sorta jealous of my talent
