I was foolish enough to read this at work. Therefore, I seem to have done myself some injury by refraining from leaping on the desk and declaiming this in my best BBC Shakespeare voice. This was amazing - I especially liked the way you split the metre between speakers (and I'm sure there's a technical term for that) - and my favourite of these must be:

Sam: O insupportable!

Dean: Dude, calm thyself.

I now eagerly await your Titus Andronicus.

Eeee! Hope these poor characters never come to Titus Andronicus. Although with Kripke's Star Wars obsession... and all the chopped off hands in that...

Just so long as we steer clear of the rape and cannibalism.

Damn it's a shame one CAN'T jump on a desk and declaim, well, anything, isn't it? Anyway, thank you!

"dude, calm thyself." i'll be saying this at every opportune moment i can! and also a few moments that aren't so opportune!

Ha! Oh my Lord! [Clutches brain protectively] Thank you ever so much. I'm so happy you liked it as much as that.

And sleep!
