in defense

ok . . . my skit did not go as well as I thought it would . . .

but i swear, I sold the idea to many friends and family and they all liked it (with the exception of mother (should of listen to her . . . )

but listen . . .

Shakespeare's plays were like the adult swim or south park

they were naughty . . .

they were bad . . .

I tried to have the same effect but amping it up . . .

people use to drink and throw things and make fun of the actors and get into fights (it was like a viewing of the Rocky Horror Show)

the only difference between my jokes and Shakespeare's is the fact (outside Shakespeare's genius) that most people don't get the penis or sex jokes or anything else because it's 400 years old . . .

I was trying to have fun . . .

and I felt like I was in high school again with people looking at me in disbelief . . .

but listen to this:

"These gatherings had been the ocassions of frays and quarrels, evil practices of incontinency in great inns; the playes published uncomely and unshamefast speeches and doings, withdrew the Queen's subjects from divine service on Sunday's and Holidays, wasted the money of the poor and fond persons, gave opportunity to pick pockets, utter busy and seditious matters, and injured and maimed people by falling of their scaffolds and by weapons and powders used in plays" what the Common Council thought of plays (taken from the general introduction of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, editor David Bevington 5ed)

I had all that in mind when I did my skit . . .

wasn't trying to be a smartass or jackass

everything had purpose

just trying to mimic what Shakespeare would have been like in the Renaissance era

well at least I took a risk, had a bit of fun and went down in flames
