Today's Guess The Shakespeare Quote As Reinterpreted By My Buddy Rob:
"I'm a rude-talking dude, with no knack for peaceful speeches. I've been kicking ass since I was seven years old; there's nothing in the world I even know to talk about, unless it's giving beatdowns. So maybe I can't help my cause with a pretty soliloquy, but if you sit the fuck down a minute I'll tell you the whole love story: how I drugged, bewitched and then scored that bitch!"

"Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors,
My very noble and approved good masters,
That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter,
It is most true; true, I have married her:
The very head and front of my offending
Hath this extent, no more. Rude am I in my speech,
And little bless'd with the soft phrase of peace:
For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith,
Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used
Their dearest action in the tented field,
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil and battle,
And therefore little shall I grace my cause
In speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious patience,
I will a round unvarnish'd tale deliver
Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms,
What conjuration and what mighty magic,
For such proceeding I am charged withal,
I won his daughter."
OTHELLO Act 1 - SCENE II.
Othello in...Othello. What an awesome play. Iago just makes me want to kick him in the balls.
Rude am I in my speech,
And little bless'd with the soft phrase of peace:
For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith,
Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used
Their dearest action in the tented field,
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil and battle,
And therefore little shall I grace my cause
In speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious patience,
I will a round unvarnish'd tale deliver
Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms,
What conjuration and what mighty magic,
For such proceeding I am charged withal,

Two correct answers! And mark it: both came in after 5pm. Let that be a lesson of some kind, in terms of when's too late to bother.
Full point to Mel for 1st correct answer, half-point to Lac (still rockin' the no-quotation marks penalty for a .4!).
The Standings stand at:
#1 Lacrema: 5.1
#2 Mel: 2.5
#3 snortingmarmots: 1.5
#4 Edana: 1
Lac, I have to get your back on that one. Iago's a dick.
"Now this is the story all about how,
My life got flipped, turned upside down,
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right down,
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Venice.
In west Philadelphia born and raised,
On the playground was where I spent most of my days,
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool,
And all shootin some b-ball outside of school,
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood,
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared,
'No more druggin' and bewitchin' ' she declared."
Fresh Prince, Act I, Scene I.
@snortingmarmots - if I run out of Shakespeare I can always switch to the other Will S.!
