All my pretty ones?
"All my pretty ones?
Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?
What, all my pretty chicken and their dam
At one fell swoop?"
- MACBETH -
I think someone owes me a lolipop...
Although, I have since found out that this verse was quoted by Anne Sexton in the late 1960's in her book "All my pretty ones."
But Will Shakespeare was the orignal author. And, it just happens that Macbeth is by far my favourite of his works; well Henry V comes in a close second for that wonderful speech about the gift of tennis balls from the Dauphin. If you play Real Tennis, you woould find it amusing.
So now I'm off to create... I mean TRANSCRIBE a new decree from his Lordship.
Until Then.

Serves me right for playing lit games with native speakers. (I never read it, tried King Lear and found it boring so never gave others a try *she mumbles humbly*). I thought you were supposed not to have the time or the inclination to read! (I'll lay off the geek thing soon, I'm just having a bit of a problem weaning myself from it, having too much fun) (And, you know, some of my best friends are geeks)(Seriously)
Fair win, Sir Beleobus!

I'm partial to the Super Dooper. Mind the tummy ache.
Well... the giant tongue twister would have to be the most 'unusual' one there. You really don't have to follow through with the prize though, save it for a more challenging problem if you like. Otherwise, send me an email and I'll provide a deleivery address.
Oh, and just as a small point of order...
Beleobus is NOT a GEEK.
He is a NERD. There is a very big difference, explanations to follow in a new posting (perhaps).
File for future reference or dispose of thoughtfully.

This is a lot like an acid-base balance class, what with the weak and the strong. I stand corrected. OK then, some of my best friends are nerds. (I don't think I much care for geeks though, if Carr person is right)I've probably offended them lethally as well. Oh but nerds survived high school so they'll survive anything. (Now don't write a post re how popular you were, you're destroying enough of my ill-conceived notions as it is.)
