I'd just like to say for the record that finally - FINALLY - I've actually remembered to check the blog on Wednesday so I have a chance at being first to the quiz and scoring big. There is no quiz, and I'm going to bed (actually, I'm going to read my younger self to sleep with some Dragon Lance, but you didn't hear that from me.)
However, I will make a preemptive guess: Taming of the Shrew
"Fie, fie! Unknit that threatening unkind brow, and dart not scornful glances from those eyes, to wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor."
I tell you. That last quiz serious, I loaded all those in in a row and put 'em on autopost and it was TAKEN CARE of.
Sorry 'marmots! I am going to get busy on these and lay in a good solid month or two's worth so we don't have another hitch like this! Next Wednesday, 9AM, you can depend on it!
I'm so let down. By my own SELF. Sheeoot.
Thank God you said something, I could easily have just woken up months from now all, "Hey, wasn't there...?"
Ok, I'm not entirely proud of the precise way it all came about, but I checked the rules, and apparently "IT COUNTS."
Good job, snortingmarmots! That's a full point to you for keeping me honest and a 100% correct answer: the Taming of The Shrew quote is indeed the source of the paraphrase seen in the text of this post!
Albeit, a bit flipped on the usual sequence, chain-of-causality-wise.
Oh, I hope this doesn’t mean Rob isn’t real. He seems pretty cool.
But it’s sweet we get to mess around with the quiz concept. I’m getting in early for next week! I’m gonna put a question and the answer in right now and give myself points! Hurrah for me!
"Man, life’s a drag and then you die"
Answer!
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Hm. Snortingmarmots, you may have bested me this time, but next week I will not be totally wasted in Vegas and I will be on that quote like a donkey on a waffle.

Wait a second.
I think I sense a cheat-fix to this situation.

Mel: a bajillion!
DAMN IT MEL!!! You can't do that!! That's not in the rules!
Oh wait. Shit.
I just checked. It is in the rules.
Dang it.
Wait. I checked again. No it isn't.
Sorry Mel!
All scoring decisions final. That's really the main rule. All scoring decisions final.
I mean, if not for that paramount rule, what would we have? Chaos.
Chaos, I suspect.
Perhaps I should clarify that. I meant, all my scoring decisions.
Dejectedness, thy name is Mel.
