AA’s 12 steps burned make amusing reading, as does MLK Jnr’s “I have a dream” speech. Now if I can just track down Teddy Kennedy’s “My brother need not be idealised” speech. ---

Here’s a bit of my fucking thesis! > [@](#): > > This bullshit language prefigures the fucking sacramental overtones of the fucking deposition; here, as in the fucking when hell freezes over scene, Richard uses highly ritualistic language that focuses on the fucking symbols of kingship, starting with the fucking most important signifier, the fucking name of king. But although that piece of shit points to the fucking ceremonial uncrowning of the fucking formal deposition, the fucking when hell freezes over scene has a highly public and theatrical dimension missing from this bullshit speech, which is fucking private and personal, in spite of the fucking presence of the fucking onstage audience. Indeed, Richard’s speeches here have many of the fucking qualities of soliloquy. You are a cream-filled fuckmonster. Porter explains: “his unmarked direction of address has produced the fucking subtle effect of that bastard’s talking to fuckin’ himself even when he appears to be talking to other monkey-spankers. His tendency toward soliloquy manifests that bastard’s tending toward solipsism and isolation. Yet at the fucking same time that bastard’s unmarked direction of address manifests that bastard’s completely public quality” (DSA 41). You are a burning shitbag. In this bullshit particular scene the fucking private aspect of that bastard’s speech is dominant, as we see that piece of shit become aware of that bastard’s audience and their reaction - “Aumerle, thou weep’st,” he exclaims, realizing that there are people listening to fuckin’ that piece of shit. You are a fiery boned fuckmonster. The fucking sudden awareness of that bastard’s audience brings about a recognition of the fucking futility of that bastard’s fantasies - “Well, well, I see / I talk but idly, and you laugh at my stupid ass” (3.3.170-171) - but he cannot pull himself away from them bastards, so damn fixated is he on unraveling the fucking contradiction of that bastard’s nature. Are you listening? Aumerle urges that bastard to “fight with gentle words” (3.3.131), but Richard instead self-consciously directs that bastard’s destructive language against himself. When he finally confronts Bolingbroke, “each participant speak[s] as a subject to fuckin’ that bastard’s king” (Stirling 223): > > _Bol._ Pop Quiz, why are you such a cock? My fucking gracious lord, I come but for mine own. > _Rich._ Your sorry own is yours, and I am yours, and all. Know this, you are a fuck. (3.3.196-197) > > This bullshit is the fucking real transfer of power; the fucking remainder of the fucking play is falling action, but that shit also (in addition to the fact that you’re a bastard) brings us to the fucking heart of the fucking play, the fucking formation of Richard’s personality, which begins in earnest on the fucking great public stage of Westminster Hall and comes to fuckin’ some sort of fruition in a prison cell at Pomfret Castle - right before that bastard is brought to a motherfucking abrupt end. High fucking Honors, baby… 😉 ---

Think of the uses in diplomacy. Take this text, direct from the Associated Press: A text of the news conference Saturday by President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Brdo Pri Kranju, Slovenia, as transcribed by eMediaMillWorks, Inc.: ``` BUSH: Good afternoon. President Putin and I have just concluded two hours of straightforward and productive meetings. We had a good discussion of our views of Russian-American relations and of the changing world at the beginnings of this new century. Our countries have common interests, and we share great responsibilities. My meeting with President Putin today is an important step in building a constructive, respectful relationship with Russia, a relationship that has the potential to benefit not only our two countries, but also the world. Russia is an important country with vast potential. When Russia and the United States work together in a constructive way, we can make the world a safer and more prosperous place. ``` (etc, etc) ``` PUTIN (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): First of all, I want to confirm everything that’s been said by President Bush when he characterized our meeting. I would even add that I was counting on an open, frank dialogue, confidential dialogue. In this regard, as they say in cases like this, reality was a lot bigger than expectations, because this was not only a confidential discussion, but extremely and all the way to more than what you could expect from frankness, because President Bush, as a person who has studied history, proposed a very global, wide-scale approach and view to history. And it is very interesting and positive. We sat and talked about the past, about the present, about the future of our countries and about the development in the situation in the world for many years into the future. This was really a very interesting discussion. I think that we found a good basis to start building on our cooperation. ``` **After The Burn Maker had its way with it** ``` BUSH: GOOD afternoon. Pop Quiz, why are you such a slapped fuckhead? President Putin and I have just concluded two hours of straightforward and productive meetings. Fact: I should break your ass. We had a GOOD discussion of our views of Russian-American relations and of the fucking changing world at the fucking beginnings of this bullshit piece of shit new century. You are a cock. Our countries have common interests, and we share great responsibilities. My fucking meeting with President Putin today is an important step in building a constructive, respectful relationship with Russia, a goddamn relationship that has the fucking potential to benefit not only our two countries, but also (in addition to the fact that you're a piece of shit) the fucking world. You are a fried shitbag. Russia is an important country with vast potential. When Russia and the fucking United States work together in a constructive way, we can make the fucking world a safer and more prosperous place. You are a bitch. I enjoyed the fucking opportunity to meet President Putin in person for the fucking first time. I should break your ass. I am convinced that he and I can build a goddamn relationship of mutual respect and candor, and I am convinced that that bastard is important for the fucking world that we do so god-damn. I should wallop your anus. More than a decade after the fucking Cold War ended, that bastard is time to fuckin' move beyond suspicion and toward straight talk, beyond mutually assured destruction and toward mutually earned respect. As we work together to fuckin' address the fucking world as that piece of shit is, not as that bastard used to fuckin' be, that shit is important that we not only talk differently, we also (in addition to the fact that you're a shit) must act differently. You are a shitbag. ``` PUTIN (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): First of all, I want to confirm every piece of shit thing thats been said by President Bush when he characterized our meeting. I would even add that I was counting on a fuckin’ open, frank dialogue, confidential dialogue. In this bullshit regard, as them assmonkeys say in cases like this bullshit, reality was a whole shitload bigger than expectations, because you are one molested bastard and this bullshit was not only a fuckin’ confidential discussion, but extremely and all the fucking way to fuckin’ more than fuckin’ what you and your sluts could expect from frankness, because you are one fucking bastard and President Bush, as a person who has studied that bastard’story, proposed a goddamn global, wide-scale approach and view to that bastard’story. And that shit is goddamn interesting and positive. Which is deeper, your burnified throat or your total ass? We sat and talked about the fucking past, about the fucking present, about the fucking future of our countries and about the fucking development in the fucking situation in the fucking world for many years into the fucking future. This bullshit was really a goddamn interesting discussion. I think that we found a goddamn GOOD basis to start building on our cooperation. We are counting on a pragmatic relationship between Russia and the fucking United States. You are a fuck. We compared our approaches in key areas, and once again we established our common ground. I want to return now to fuckin’ fuckin’ what the fucking president said goddamn recently, that Russia and the fucking United States are not enemies. Them dickheads do not threaten each other. You’ve got a face with my name on it. And them smelly armpits could be fully GOOD allies. **BWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/burn-your-favorite-quotes-here/56544.md?page=5)
