...that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take up arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep. No more. And by sleep to say we mean to end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. To die, to sleep. To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come? When we have shuffle off this mortal coil, must give us pause, there's the respect that makes calamity of so long a life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, the oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of despised love, the insolence of office, and the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy take when he himself might his quietus make. With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bare to grunt and sweat under a weary life. But that the dread of something after death, that undiscovered country from who's bourne no traveller returns, puzzles the will and rather makes us bear those ills we have than to fly to others that we know not of. And thus, conscience does make cowards of us all and the native hue of resolution is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought. And enterprises of great pith and moment, with this regard their currents turn awry and lose the name of action. Soft you now, thy fair Ophelia. Nymph in thy orisons, be all my sins remembered...

Pretty impressive there, OTM. I wish my brain could remember important things like that, and not stuff like where all the powerups in RiverRaid are...

Agreed. Last week I failed a music test i spent all night studying for, but then drew a picture of Skeletor from memory.
I havent had that figure in about 9 years.
And someone asked me how i remembered the details of his armor, and the answer was quite simple. I still remember what it felt like, I just closed my eyes and i could remember all the details like i was reading Braille.

Hey...Sol hasn't made a sarcastic remark regarding the punctuation not being right and Liam hasn't made a sarcastic remark regarding an American butchering the Bard's poetry yet.
I guess I owe myself five bucks.

Come now Simon, you are in no way the tortured and tragic soul Hamlet was.
Did your uncle kill your father?
Did your uncle then marry your mother? Only 2 months later?
Did your father's ghost come back and make you swear vengence on your uncle who is now king?
Did YOU ever have to decide which is worse...regicide or not following through on a son's vow to revenge your father's murder?

Gee, thanks, Jeff. You've now seared the image of Kenneth Branagh reciting that from Henry V into my head.

Don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for poor old St. Crispin. He's become synonomous with whiney overacted jingoist pep talks. Poor guy. I mean, he probably had an interesting life of healing the sick that was most likely cut short by a big fucking rock to the head or an upside-down cricifixion. But do we remember that? Noooo. We think of frickin' Branagh.

I cop the bloody feelin' yer don't like Branagh. And yer mispelled crucifiction. I'll get out me spoons. I'm sure I did too, init?But I'm certain yer did as well. Cor blimey guv!
To be 'onest, right, I've never seen Branagh's 'enry V. I remember Leonard Nimoy quotin' the bleedin' line durin' some 'Star Trek' special, intercut wiv scenes from 'Star Trek II.'
