Blogging With Shakespeare

O Jammino, Jammino,
Wherefore art thou, Jammino?

Deny thy blog page and refuse thy Bon Jovi,
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my writing compadre,
And I’ll no longer be a Crustacean.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Jammino is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and get your
Balding head and rotund paunch
Back hitherto in Friend’s CafĂ©,
For thy presence is greatly missed
And thy contributions to the page
Make it seem less the insane.

I cannot hold the insanity
In mine own hand, nor wouldst I try!
Alas, return thou hither!
Contribute thy words,
And still the tongues that say
You have regained your sanity!


Written by Bill Shakethespear, a long, long distant relative of a friend of a friend of Shakespeare. Don't worry - he wasn't paid for his writing, and has since passed away in a freak can opener accident. But hopefully his words will cause Ben to be ever-so-eloquent again, here on Channel 98's own Friend's Cafe, TV without the TV. We now return you to your regularly scheduled whatever.

Another great work from "Rodinhand ShaketheSpear"

To pee or not to pee: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The sharpest of pains from ones bladder
Or to throw up ones arms against a sea of toilets,
And by lifting the lid end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end the the urge,
and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to,
Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. To die, to Sleep; to sleep, perchance to dream: hey, there's the Tub;
For in that sleep, what dreams may come, when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin?
...........blah blah blah..........(this is an unfinished work, couldn't read the rest. Ink ran due to a wet spot on the page.... not sure what happened.)

BRAVO! Bravo, yon Jammino! Thou hast found one of the many lost works of this bard, and I am grateful yet nauseous by your revealing of his first name, which I knew not afore yon wakening!! Never before have the works of Shakethespear brought more moisture to mine eyes! Oh, wait, that is because mine bladder runneth over.....brb.....
