Hey! You didn't bastardize this one! It's straight from Henry VI! Dick the Baker or whatever...
"First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
NO FAIR I CALL FOUL.
And if you say fair is foul and foul is fair...well, I guess I had it coming.
Spoken by 'Dick', in Henry VI.
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"
(Henry VI, Act IV, Scene II).
@Lac - not sure what you're saying. You don't want credit? I think what we have here is a rare case of Will putting it precisely how my buddy Rob would have put it.
Full point for Lac, half point for Mel.
Elliott, I hate to do it to you again! But - where's the quote? Answer must contain full quote. I'd love to give it to you as implied, but I don't know how to do that when poor Lac here, I've already penalized five times for a combined five-tenths of a point just for leaving her quotation marks out of her answer.
Say, by the way Lac, Mel - Elliott's a way better quizmaster than I am! You should check out his blog. He comes up with crazy smart, tough questions - all I've got is like, Bard Via Retard by comparison.
The Standings:
#1 Lacrema: 9.0
#2 Mel: 7.5
#3 snortingmarmots: 2.5
#4 Edana: 1.5
#5 Elliott: 0.5
Thanks so much for the shout-out, especially as the holiday quiz giveaway is happening right now! Artwork, classic films, bacon, we have all the good prizes.
And I'm not much of a rule follower.
@Elliott - HOLIDAY QUIZ GIVEAWAY???!!! I'll have to run check the questions. Bootup the brain-scraping process.
I respect not-much-of-a-rule followers! I respect rule followers, too. Sure. I see myself as aloof from both camps. I consider myself a rules leader, to be honest.
But I'm glad to hear you're not much of a rules follower, actually! Because as much as I figured the obvious - that you just got too busy to stay in on the last round ("Name That Tune") - it's nice to be able to scotch that nagging,-only-remote-in-the-first-place-and-only-in-my-mind,-probably possibility that you might have dropped out in protest of my midstream scoring change allowing credit for latecomers.
I always say: a game is fair if both teams get the same rules. But mid-season rules changes stick in my craw, somewhat. Even if the original rule is utterly misconceived, as mine was. Glad I learned that lesson last time.
Anyone who thinks I'm deliberately discoursing on rules right under this particular quote is on to my style.
