Psyphilus? Pnuemonia? Ghonorhia? Hepatitus...hmm..yeah, that one sounds about right.

 

[cloudy]

Luc is right, it was King Hamlet.

Oh, dear god. It's gonna be a who's on first thread.

It's Hamlet, Carson.

 

[carsonshepherd]

well, maybe I'm just crazy. Or drunk. Or both.

Am I thinking Yoric? I don't know what the hell I'm thinking.

Consider this topic dead. Continue.

Hamlet's father is also Hamlet, is the gist of it, dear.

Yoric died long before King Hamlet. Long enough for the prince Hamlet to see and kiss his skull in the graveyard.

 

[carsonshepherd]

Thank You.

Obviously it's been a long, long time.

Yoric died long before King Hamlet. Long enough for the prince Hamlet to see and kiss his skull in the graveyard.

And the line is not 'Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well.' It is 'Alas, poor Yorick; I knew him Horatio, a man of infinite jest.'

I knew I liked you for a reason!

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

If you must, Hamlet’s father is the Ur-Hamlet.

Yorick was a Jester (or Fool) from Hamlet’s childhood (long dead by the time of the play) and by Hamlet's estimation a good comedian (“a man of infinite jest.")

Pay no attention to me.

*thoroughly embarrassed now*

Old age is rotting my once-razor-sharp brain like a bad case of Dutch elm disease. If I'm this bad at 30 how will I be at 50?

I've this urge to say we never do, but I can't pull it off even in jest.

The same, but with poor taste in clothing. (At least according to 30 year olds, but don't listen to them. The 20 year olds say they've got horrid fashion sense. )

Got that already. So it only gets worse from here?

I say, only if you let it. Mind over matter after all. Right? So buck up there little pardna. For some reason I must talk with a Texan accent to dispense words of comfort and hope.

Anyway, my brain rot could be due to the alcohol.

Don't worry, it gets better around 40, then I hear, it drops off again!!!
