"How now, my lord, why do you keep alone, Of sorriest fancies your companions making, Using those thoughts which should indeed have died With them they think on? Things without all remedy Should be without regard: what's done, is done."
Anybody remember this one from Quiz Show? Great movie!
Full point to Mel for first correct answer, lac and Edana each get .5 for tardy correct answer, but lac continues taking that .1 penalty for omitting the quotation marks! It's like she's high-stepping to the end zone. It's like she thinks nobody can catch her. The panache involved alone. I can't even comment coherently!
But Lac, having leveled out to an even half, I think if you're concerned at all, you could honorably drop the quote boycott. That's just what my perspective is - you've proved your point pretty firmly!

"How now, my lord, why do you keep alone,
Of sorriest fancies your companions making,
Using those thoughts which should indeed have died
With them they think on? Things without all remedy
Should be without regard: what's done, is done."
Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth: Act 3, Scene 2.
OK, I'm going to take a stab at this one:*
Things without all remedy
Should be without regard: what's done is done.
Lady Macbeth, one of the most twisted and diabolical of all evil women, in Macbeth.
*pun intended
"Things without all remedy
Should be without regard. What's done is done."
-Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, Act III, scene ii, lines 13-14.

THE STANDINGS!!
#1 Lacrema: 5.5
#2 Mel: 3.5
#3 Edana: 1.5
#3 snortingmarmots: 1.5
snortingmarmots - that drops you to last place tied for third! Hope to see you in here next week!
If anybody's wondering how I handle the ties, I always list whoever's got the "bullet" on top over a stationary overtaken placement.
God. I'm like...the poet of the mundane. I should TOTALLY write technical manuals!
I'm serious. I always wanted to do a little of that.
My editor would give me so much shit. "Write to GRADE SIX LEVEL, how many times do I have to tell you? And NO SHAKESPEARE QUOTATIONS worked in!!"
