Saturday, January 12th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"He shall think it fit to expound his beastly mind to us."

Cymbeline, Act I, Scene 7, Line 150.

[Denninmi]

1. Ah, yes.

Trust me, my mind isn't anywhere close to his on the beastly scale. What a loser.

Good job there, kind sir, and pass my regards on to Will.

Happy Saturday, Aristus.

[Aristus]

4. Thank you.

Will is here. He says: "Persevere, lad; don't let the bastards get you down."

[Denninmi]

8. I won't.

Hey, if Will and Bono give me the same advice, I'm going to follow it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Who is he, my dear Aristus?

I'm afraid I don't know...

[Aristus]

3. James Yeager. A guy in Tennessee who posted a video stating

that if anyone took his guns, he was "going to start killing people".

The video came down pretty quickly, but the state of Tennessee has already revoked his handgun permit, and apparently, he is under investigation for, among other things, creating fraudulent credentials for owning and running a firearm security firm.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Oh, of course...

I sure did hear about this, but I hadn't seen his picture.

You and Will have come up with another winner! Thank you...

I cannot really tell you how much I look forward to your Saturday posts...They get my day off to a great start!

11. Makes me think of another line Will wrote.

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

[Aristus]

12. Great line. You have a good ear for this.

I used it for an edition of WSTFTD back in 2007 or so. It was about those "Minutemen" border patrols.



"Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here."

The Tempest, Act I, Scene 2, Lines 214-215.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

13. Perfect!

I think the character Ariel would have much fun with those devils.

[Aristus]

14. Have you ever seen The Tempest in performance?

I have several times, and Ariel is always portrayed by a female. Interesting, since the character was written as a male.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

16. Yes I have.

It is one of my favorites. I think that they use a woman most of the time is the way Ariel moves. But I have seen it with a guy playing the character.

[Bullwinkle925]

15. Sadly Aristus......

Too many out there think "it fit" to expound their beastly minds to us.

[Aristus]

17. True.
