is somebody a very special boy?
GUESS WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT IS TODAY (PROBABLY)!
I think quoting fiestas are always the best way to commemorate brilliance -- but instead of running over Sonnet 29 and "Man delights not me", I'd like an Obscure Shakespeare Quotation Party.

1 Henry VI
LUCY
O, were mine eye-balls into bullets turn'd,
That I in rage might shoot them at your faces!
Because it's silly and I love it. Plus, the opportunity for Doctor Who crossovers featuring Lucy as a robot with eye sockets that shoot bullets is almost too much to resist.
2 Henry VI
SUFFOLK
Blut-witted lord, ignoble in demeanour!
If ever lady wrong'd her lord so much,
Thy mother took into her blameful bed
Some stern untutor'd churl, and noble stock
Was graft with crab-tree slip, whose fruit thou art,
And never of the Nevils' noble race.
WARWICK
But that the guilt of murder bucklers thee,
And I should rob the deathsman of his fee,
Quitting thee thereby of ten thousand shames,
And that my sovereign's presence makes me mild,
I would, false murd'rous coward, on thy knee
Make thee beg pardon for thy passed speech,
And say it was thy mother that thou mean'st;
That thou thyself was born in bastardy:
And after all this fearful homage done,
Give thee thy hire and send thy soul to hell,
Pernicious blood-sucker of sleeping men!
Shakespeare does 'yo mama'. Why I find this hilarious, I don't know, but I do. I also love the Margaret and Eleanor catfight.
