He talks like Ike

. . . I’ll be Gertrude if I can play her like Margaret Dumont . . .

Polonius said “nucular”? Somebody should call him on the carpet…

Somebody told me Ophelia’s last name was Brest…

Polonius Monk? I love that show.

Is that the one with the chimpanzee that dresses in pinstripe suits and Homburgs and goes around with a big cigar?

If I had MY choice, I’d go around with a little blonde.

I was drinking a Leffe blonde last night. Yum.

But that’s the show with the OCD detective who touches every pole, straightens and cleans thing and plays some kind of woodwind instrument, IIRC. Although I think he used to drive a taxi and hang out at Nantucket airport.

Would that be a ten-foot pole?

Stretch Polanski, tallest Pole I ever met.

Ophelia. But in my version I get to run off with Hamlet’s sister instead of drowning, all right? I’m an excellent swimmer.

No no, it’s, “Nucu-lar weapons don’t kill people. nucle-ar weapons kill people.”

I accept the role of Polonius.

While Arnold suggested

, I have decided that this is too boring. SueDunhym told me so in another thread. She couldn’t believe that I was “human.” Or something like that.

So Polonius it is. He seems like me on the surface, but he’s truly like me underneath it all. What does that mean? It’s complicated.

Blame Ike No! Not THAT IKE. Our Ike. He(our Ike) offered me the role. Probably just because I have all of John Thornes books.

Surely, Sue’s not the FIRST person who’s said that to you?
