DieselDaisy Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It is the start of Hamlet when they see the ghost of Hamlet. No, we never quite got around to seeing a Schwarzenegger adaptation of Hamlet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said 'ghost of Hamlet'. I assumed most people would ascertain that I am referring to King Hamlet, who is the only ghost of the piece, and not Prince Hamlet.

Entire sonnets and that. I never did get his whole life story out of him but i did discover that his missus died met an untimely demise and that sort of drove him to that life. He's really young too, younger than me. There used to be a homeless woman at Yale, obviously mentally disturbed, and you could literally pick any Shakespeare play, act and scene and she could recite it flawlessly, right the way down to his problem plays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd've given her an E or something No. More like: Bystander: "Hey, can you do Henry V, Act III?" Shakespeare Lady: "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more: Or close the wall up with our English dead. (...) Cry God for Harry, England and Saint George!" Bystander: "That was amazing." Shakespeare Lady: "I told them to leave my potato alone. They're always after my magical potatoes and they're watching me through the TV" Bystander: "Yeah, that's great and all. Do you know MacBeth?"

Edit: I'm also somewhat ashamed of myself because until the bit about Haydock I didn't realise you'd switch to non Shakespearian.

She looked perfectly normal until she started ranting and raving. She is, or at least was, well known. Kind of like an attraction, of sorts, and there were always these kind of like urban myths about her. One was that she was a former Yale professor who lost her mind and another was that she was a former student who lost her mind. As you can no doubt guess the rumours all had to do with her having been at Yale and losing her mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the burning question has to be "was she fit" or did she more closely resemble my mate from last week on the subway?
