I did see Hamlet in a nutshell. A 60 minute version performed by honours yeat students, it was interesting.

Did they speak very VERY fast?

The TV interview version of "Hamlet: the Smoking Years" - "Hamlet: I Did Not Inhale"

Ophelia: The Dark Side of the Farce.*


reviewed by Polonius: "...a pain in the arras."

In reply to your question earlier, no. They merely had five Hamlets and cut out so many scenes I didn't know which was Hamlet, at which time and what was happening.
Also four of Hamlet were females. That made it slightly opaque...

Sounds brilliant!

'Hamlet in a nutshell' ....... my mind has conjured up an image of a verbal Klein bottle wherein Hamlet contains the phrase that '....I could be contained in a nutshell and still think myself a king of infinite space....' (from memory - allow for entropic degradation) and that nut shell then contains all of the play 'Hamlet, Prince of Denmark'.


Now a good conspiracy theorist should be able to come up with some tale that Shakespeare was an alien and his plays are really guides for visiting aliens to familiarise themselves with earth as it was in order to enslave us. They probably have come, takes a good look, and decided it wasn't worth the trouble, reaching this decision about midway through Julius Caesar - hence 'ved, vidi, forget it'

It also predicts, if read properly, that Elvis would appear and lead the multitudes and at the critical moment, would disappear and create a new mass movement (apart from Elvis himself) which would grow and the true believers would live forever and rock on in whatever afterlife they chose.

Please add to this if I omitted anything relevant.

The real purpose of those little plastic 'pizza tables' that get stuck in your takeaway box (I really hope they are sterile before they get stuck in our food).

Indeed!

Once upon a time, I worked a leading Pizza Chain, and I can assure you that we were very careful to avoid touching ready to eat food with our bare hands. All very nice and hygenic, but the tables (lid supports) were fair game for bare hands. Just like all those people that take your money in their gloved hand, and then you back to making sandwiches with that hand.

All together now - EUH!

We use those little War of the Worlds tri-legged things up side down. They make very handy Taco shell holders and it allows you to fill them up and reach for the next ingredient without the taco falling over and all the contents falling out.

We still have about a dozen saved from ten years ago when they were more readily available.

I think the plot will be tons of cussing and a stupid stage director makes up a play about a time machine that allows there to be a sequel to Shakespeare's play.

Unfortunately, the Chronoguard has set my message to not appear until 24 January MMIX, so you will probaby think I waited till I saw a trailer to post this.

You know, I went and saw it on monday, and it was EXACTLY like that!

Hamlet 27: Life in the ashtray.

But me no butts?

Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm waiting for GREEN EGGS & HAMLET...

I like a salad meal: hamlettuceandmayoonwholemeal.
