Hamlet...and Egglet?

[gnomi]

Yesterday, mabfan and I went to see the Actors' Shakespeare Project's Hamlet. The production was excellent, and the staging somewhat untraditional.

At the end of the show, mabfan reminded me about another untraditional take on Hamlet.

The ghost of Hamlet's father enters. Well, it's actually just a sweat sock with a happy face drawn on it in Marks-a-Lot, dangling from a fishing line upstage center. But it's ver-ry scary nevertheless

OOB!

I thought about that during the first appearance of the ghost yesterday. :-)

The "Scooby Doo" Hamlet was written by my college roommate, lhn. One of my favorite pieces that he did. I think the explanation is perfectly sensible, too!

Mike has the advantage that he can talk in iambic pentameter on-the-fly. He submitted the piece right after he first wrote it (1990, I think) to rec.humor.funny, but it was rejected (!) ... but subsequently accepted when he resubmitted it years later to a different r.h.f editor.
