So after I got back from the war I only had four kids left....
I mean, I brought back Tammy and her kids, and Aaron. I had to kill one of the kids, which Tammy didn't like so much. Turned out she and Aaron had a thing, and when she got her promotion she set up two of my boys to take the fall for a thing with the boss's brother.

Then after they went down, Tammy got her sons to take liberties with my daughter -- cut off her hands and tongue afterwards. Even my remaining son Lucky got the boot, hooked up with some bad folk.

So I fooled Tammy, grabbed her sons, and made a pie out of them. Made Tammy eat the pie, then offed her and got my own daughter in the crossfire. In the end, Lucky was the only one left standing -- he buried Aaron alive, and chucked Tammy's body in with the dogs. Lucky took over everything after that.

I maintain had the author of this stuff been alive today, he'd be writing for Fox. :)

3. Nah
...Just been re-reading some classics from my big box-o-books in the basement. Ten points (or an honorary English degree) if you know this one. ;)

8. An honororary Doctor of Googology might be appropriate..
for respondents who didn't even read the cliff notes (like me)

Fifth Runner Up: Douglas Lanier

Titus Andronicus in five lines:

Doughty Titus comes home from the war,
Kills Alarbus to even the score,
Rape and murder ensue,
Plus a maiming or two,
And the banquet's got corpses galore.

4. Sounds Beaumarchais-ish

Bits of it anyway.

Could it be Shakespearian?

6. Ding ding ding!! Monty, tell 'im what he's won!

My only regret is never having seen anyone try to put this one on. It's gotta be a riot.

7. Well, it's funny that you mention he'd be writing for Fox
Because they produced a VERY good version of this a few years back titled simply "Titus". The style's a bit weird, but it's honestly one of the better film renditions of Shakespeare I've seen. You should check it out - Anthony Hopkins stars as Titus and Jessica Lange is Tamara
