Bad Shakespeare

The native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought;
And enterprises of great pitch and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

Addie has recently taken to paraphrasing Shakespeare as you may have seen in "To TEA or not to TEA", posted recently. Now that he's used up the one single line of Shakespeare that he knows, I was idly wondering to myself about the direction he might take when next inspired by the muse. Anyone know the name of the screenwriter on "Attack of the Mutant Killer Zombie Nymphos from Outer Space"?

Meanwhile, I might echo the sentiment from Hamlet, quoted above. What on earth have I done, hooking up with a co-writer whose literary powers of mediocrity know no limits?

It's mainly, of course, because he likes a beer. As do I. It means we can communicate in a common tongue. The language of malt, hops, yeast and pumps. Or in his case, Neanderthal grunts, like "s'alright I s'pose".

So, given the real barriers we face, we both were fairly in accord about today's beer. It's Downton Brewery's Quadhop, an easy to drink 3.9%. Surprisingly full of flavour, quite refreshing but with a classical pint of bitter finish. Really good pint if you want to get home without waking up in a shop doorway.

Now, Addie, can we have another of your insightful quotes please? How about some Chaucer? "Bifel that, in that sesoun on a day, in Southwerk, at The Tabard as I lay..."



PS. One more thing: T3PTNY92BV4H . Don't ask.

  1. Loving it! Wish I could join you for a pint (or is it just for blokes?)

    1. Absolutely not! This is the 21st century you know. Ale drinkers of all genders most certainly welcome. You'd be fine company, so please treat this as an IOU for a pint -- a beer voucher!
