While part of me finds this sort of creepy (don’t mess with a classic, etc.), another part is amused to no end.

Anyone feel up to the challenge?

Creepy? No, I love that stuff. It’s one of the few forms of Shakespeare that makes me laugh. Up to the challenge? Not me! I have a hard enough time with this century’s English. I have been known to mock Poe, though, because his poetry is easy to mimic the cadence of.

Can I just bet on Dry instead?

DRY is easily the odds on favorite. Still there night be a dark horse out there to take things by surprise.
