Yes, I know I mispelled it. I said I mispelled it too. Did you miss that little bit? Granted, I ran it through the "cockney" dialect too, but it it's in their pretty clear.

this is a bit off topic, but have you guys seen that movie where the actor who played Mr. Bean got transported back in time?
I espeically like that movie because Mr. Bean knock the day light out of Shakespeare and make some quarky comment like "This is for all those children who's going to suffer because of you in the future!"
At that point in time, I was screaming, "YEAH, YOU GO MAN, SUCK IT TO THE JERK!"

Especially since the rest of the world saw a different film, called Four Weddings and a Funeral. 8)
And, Bluey, what are you on? That's Blackadder! (in this case, Blackadder Back and Forth) You remember him as that silly one-joke character, but not for one of the few decent British comedies of the 80's?

That "Back and Forth" thing is the only Blackadder thing I've seen, I'm sorry to say. It's the only thing they've ever aired around here, as far as I know. Not that that sort of thing gets much in the line of publicity. I only saw part of it, and only because I just happened to be looking at the TV listings and saw that it was already on.
Not that that has anything to do w/ anything. Just thought I'd share.

Hold the phone! We may be onto something interesting. (Wouldn't that be a welcome change?) I think Vogon Poet and CaptainMike have got something great going. Hmmm. I suppose this'd have to go over to the Forum Competitions...but... Come up with ridiculous summer blockbuster tag lines for Shakespearian plays (or Jonson or Chaucer or whomever you fancy)

Interesting, I'll check that out. I presume you all know I was actually quoting from Arnie's The Last Action Hero. . .
And, Blackadder Back and Forth was the most-recent of the Black Adder spinoffs. In addition to the 4 series - The Black Adder, Blackadder II, Blackadder the Third, and Blackadder goes Forth, there were two other spinoffs, one a short called Black Adder: The Cavalier Years featuring the execution of Charles I, and A Black Adder Christmas Carol where the good Ebenezer Blackadder is shown the non-error of his ways and becomes a proper bastard as a result.

Since you made that up, and mispelled it, I'm going to side with Lee.
Blackadder was 1985, II was 87, III was 88, and IV was 89, I believe. The christmas special was 1991, and Back & Forth was 1999.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
