The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[Yorkshire pud]

OK, I'll play, let's drag this thread into something valuable at last.

Othello, featuring Falkie as the moor, Kathy as Desdemona. And who shall play Iago? Well, it's almost typecasting but you can't look past Drone.

He can if he wears his prosthetic spine.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

As Shylock didn't say; "Does a Senda not bleed"?

I don't know.  Why don't we do an experiment and find out?

By the way, there is an enormous plot hole in that play that undercuts the very heart of it (heh).  I've never seen it in the literature and none of my professors had considered it, so I think I must be some kind of genius or something for spotting it.  I wanna see if Sneddy knows what I'm talking about and he's really as smarticles as he seems.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Falkie as the moor

Troll.  And a deft one at that.

I doubt Senda will get it, though.

Portia in court?

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

it's almost typecasting

Company, villainous company, hath been the spoil of Falkie. 

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Portia in court?

You're on the right track.  The reasoning she uses, and why it isn't as conclusive as it seems.

[Yorkshire pud]

Shakespeare wasn't a medic! Lol.

[SredniVashtar]

You're talking about the flesh but not blood thing, I suppose. I always thought the stuff about the caskets was pretty dubious as well.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Shakespeare wasn't a medic! Lol.

Oh cmon.  You're as lazy as Senda.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

You're talking about the flesh but not blood thing, I suppose.

Yes, but why is her reasoning not as air tight as the play presents it to be?

[Yorkshire pud]

Oh cmon.  You're as lazy as Senda.

Look. I've just got in from a long week at work. I'm having my first beer, sue me.

[SredniVashtar]

Yes, but why is her reasoning not as air tight as the play presents it to be?

Well, you don't go to the butcher and quibble with the weight like that, I suppose. Unless I'm on the wrong tack. It's a real problem play for most people, and I'd be interested if you have an alternative idea. It is basically a kind of fairy tale though, so you shouldn't judge it harshly for being unrealistic.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think would happen if those of you who are trying to genuinely help this forum's Falstaff from further damaging himself (by his relentless need to post videos and personal information and take the advice of trolls)?  Might this accursed thread at last shrivel up and die? 

I tried to make the same suggestions a few HUNDRED pages ago to Falkie that some of you are making now.  HE WILL NOT LEARN.  His enablers will not stop.  Y'all know one of the definitions of insanity, yes?

If it is all just for entertainment, than great, really.  But if you really are looking to help the chump, you're wasting your time.

Hand-wringing Concern Troll out....

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Wait wait I know, your knees hurt and it's too damn hot in your flat to do any thinking.

And where the bloody hell have you been laddy? Sod Senda, your presence has been missed.

[Yorkshire pud]

How did you guess that? You been looking at my highly sort after videos?

Portia makes the point about the contract not specifying that he's entitled to the blood as well.  At that point, Shylock could have simply pointed out that the contract doesn't specify who does the extracting of the flesh either, and handed her the knife.

It is basically a kind of fairy tale though, so you shouldn't judge it harshly for being unrealistic.

Of course.  I just like spotting plot holes.  There's one in The King's Speech that utterly undermines the ending of that movie, too.  Want to take a shot at that one?

We're trying to turn it into a literature thread, which should be like ant spray to Fatzilla.  "If we can't get them out, we'll breed them out."

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

I hacked your web cam.

Dude, what's the deal with the Spongebob boxers?  FFS.

Now you do it again. I have the truly abhorrent vision of Senda, jeeeze I can't say it.

I was broke and needed the money. I just saved them for sentimental reasons.

"Go for the wrinkle"?

Hey Yorkie, I have been meaning to ask you...where is the picture that is your avatar comes from?

[Yorkshire pud]

Hey Yorkie, I have been meaning to ask you...where is the picture that is your avatar comes from?

I found it in Google images. I have a thing for women being women. Some call it chauvinism.

Yah, this is the fine literature thread now.

This thread's schizo turns are immensely entertaining. It can go from surly to sadly pensive in the course of a morning.

I am just curious - those of you unhappy with us, do you eat foods that disgust you or make you sick? Because that's what coming on this thread to complain is like.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Falkie likes to talk about me (and others) following him "all over the Internet," but two sites does not constitute the Internet.  I had been posting at a site for a few years when Griftie showed up.  He spent the next 12 years posting there.  A couple of years ago, he disappeared for awhile.  Then he kept coming back to remind us that he wasn't posting there anymore, and talking about this great new site called bellgab.com where he was loved and appreciated and protected from those awful horrible trolls by the site owner.  And he kept telling us not to post there because we'd all be banned and maybe prosecuted.
...

Hey guys I'm on Bellgab.  Don't post there.  <wink> <wink>

I said don't post there.  <wink> <wink>

B-e-l-l-g-a-b and it's dot com, not dot net. C-o-a-s-t-g-a-b will work as well.  Or you can just type in 'Norry sucks.'

Now never ever post there because you won't be welcome!  I'm outta here!

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I know what you mean. Yes, people remember the first part and don't refer to the second, which is the point of the sentence. But people are often misquoting Shakespeare. There is a speech from Troilus and Cressida given by Ulysses about 'degree' and people knowing their place, which is a big favourite of right-wing politicians. But it doesn't mean what they think it means because Ulysses is sneaky and does exactly the opposite, to annoy Achilles and get him into the war. Likewise Richard II, John of Gaunt's speech is taken as a lovely picture of England ('this precious jewel set in the silver sea' etc) when the entire speech goes on to say how the king has mortgaged the country and it has all gone to rack and ruin.

Yes, this all looks a bit incongruous in this thread  , but I like to think of it as cleansing the Augean Stables, which is probably the closest thing in fiction/myth to Falkie's apartment.

I hope it isn't the End Times, because that might make Falkie the Antichrist. I know he is annoying and all, but...

Even Herakles couldn't get that place clean.

I never said it wasn't.
