Curses! That Scottish play, no doubt.

Love Hamlet, too, and many of the comedies. Merry Wives of Windsor is good, bawdy fun...

"I feel a twitching in my thumbs. Something wicked this way comes. Open locks, whoever knocks." Act IV, Scene 1, of course!

The "Agility" low-profile bait casting reel is pretty good for a Shakespeare. http://maysportinggoods.com/images/thumbnails/3/120/SHAKESPEARE_AGILITY.gif http://www.shakespeare-fishing.com/index_reels.html

However, I prefer an Abu Garcia Ambassador.

Merchant of Venice I hold the world but as the world Marciano a stage, where every performer must play a part and mine a sad one.

Taming of the Shrew.

In the tragedies, King Lear.

I have a real fondness for Midsummer Night's Dream, but only because it's so crazy.

Next time you get pulled over for speeding, tell the cop; "Never did a faithful citizen more rejoice at the discovery of a most dangerous act, than I do now at this hour joy o'er myself, prevented from a most damned lawlessness" (Henry V, 2.2.156-160)

It might work. Maybe not.

Carry on

Or try; "God be thanked for prevention which I in sufferance heartily will rejoice, beseeching God and you, officer, to pardon me."

I might work.

I realize that puritans may have a cow over my extra dialog inserted. Pray forgive.

Twelfth Night. It satisfies my penchant for drink, dance, and giving in to general self-indulgence.

The Henry's

In honor of the season:

Round about the couldron go: In the poisones entrails throw. Toad,that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Sweated venom sleeping got, Boil thou first in the charmed pot. Double,double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blindworm's sting, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing. For charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Double,double toil and trouble; Fire burn and couldron bubble.

Scale of dragon,tooth of wolf, Witch's mummy, maw and gulf Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark, Root of hemlock digg'd in the dark, Liver of blaspheming Jew; Gall of goat; andslips of yew silver'd in the moon's eclipse; Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips; Finger of birth-strangled babe Ditch-deliver'd by the drab,- Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger's chaudron, For ingrediants of our cauldron. Double,double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

from Macbeth
