Fire Ant Theatre: Classical Readings, Vol. III
Our third iteration of FATCRs can be blamed entirely upon two Gazetteers, Gwynne and Rachel. The former put up a blatantly provocative post involving Elvis, and the latter had the audacity to suggest that an FATCR should incorporate Shakespeare.
So, I got to wondering...what if we just killed two birds with one stone?*
*This is just a figure of speech. As with last week's reading, no actual birds were harmed, although a stern look or two was sent in the general direction of the sparrows who are still trying to build a nest behind our patio speakers.
In keeping with the weekly admonishment for me to get out more, shall I just say now that I'm looking forward to being at home so I can listen to this? :)

Beth, I don't really know what's sadder, the fact that you'd say something like that, or the amazing extent to which I'm motivated by it. ;-)

Posted by: Sherry at May 5, 2006 01:39 PMThat is some seriously funny stuff.
You need to offer up a print version.
Posted by: Jim at May 5, 2006 03:52 PMYay!
That relieved all the toils of traffic. :)

Don't tell me he's still wearing that thing?! I'd better pass on the offer; he's got better hair for it than me.
You need to offer up a print version.
Let me check with my publisher. I'm extra-sensitive to charges of plagiarism nowadays, for some reason. ;-)
Yay!
And yippee, as well!
Posted by: Eric at May 5, 2006 04:15 PMI hath enjoyed thy gentle prose. Yea, verily I laughed that mine eyes ran o'er! (Of course that could be my cold :P).
Posted by: Rachel at May 5, 2006 04:48 PMOh, that is hilarious! A video of The Bard in a gold cape would be a nice touch. Plagiarism, bah! There's a special carve out in the law for parodies. You're the Shakespearean Al Yankovic. ;-)
Posted by: Gwynne at May 5, 2006 07:23 PMDownright lyrical, in its own way.
(Yes, I laughed. I admit it.)
Posted by: CGHill at May 6, 2006 11:05 AMRachel, it wouldn't be the first time that my "performance" has made someone ill. ;-)
You're the Shakespearean Al Yankovic.
At last, a niche I can call my own!
(Yes, I laughed. I admit it.)
I accept that as high praise, sir, especially considering your own facility with Shakespearean parodies.
Posted by: Eric at May 6, 2006 11:19 AMway too funny .... of course I'm about 4 beers into a six pack as I listen to this
