The point is I can make a pretty good case for taking arms against a sea of troubles, unless someone has a good reason to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

The way I read it, if you have outrageous fortune, you will be rolling in coin, so you can expect the huddled mass to lob a few stones and arrows your way, can't you. But from your lofty perch on high, you can just smile and give them a dismissive wave, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's cowering there in the corner asking for advice because he can't make a decision. If I didn't know better I'd think he was a n00b. Now my advice - Go after the fortune and forget about the slings and arrows. How much damage can they do? As for taking up arms against a sea of troubles - send @Razors Edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share #17 Posted June 23, 2020 As far as whining goes, nobody holds a candle to Will, "For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time, The Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely, The pangs of dispised Love, the Law’s delay, The insolence of Office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his Quietus make With a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than fly to others that we know not of." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK so what's a bare Bodkin? Why does @Longjohn come to mind? William's stuff would be easier to read if it was written in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting me know that I also needed to go back and change the original post that warned you of your demise for crossing the family line. Once when I was in college in Chicago I had a roommate. He liked to go away on weekends and drink cheap beer. Once we went with him to Wisconsin. They have cheap beer in Wisconsin. They also have cheese in Wisconsin. Cheese hasn't been her in quite a while. I miss him. I wonder if he ever hooked-up with the new neighbor across the street. Cheese should come back and visit us some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
