the Immortals

This Friday, as we toast Vonnegut, we also toast Ned Ludd of luddite fame. And of course the Reverend Thomas Lushington, our first "lush". And of course Master Shakespeare, who did more to impart new and brilliant sayings on our language than most others.

CASSIUS
Did Cicero say any thing?

CASCA
Ay, he spoke Greek.

CASSIUS
To what effect?

CASCA
Nay, an I tell you that, Ill ne'er look you i' the
face again: but those that understood him smiled
at one another and shook their heads; but, for mine
own part, it was Greek to me. I could tell you more
news too: Marullus and Flavius, for pulling scarfs
off Caesar's images, are put to silence. Fare you
well. There was more foolery yet, if I could remember it.

On TFI, we always remember. Even the Greek parts.
