Which album was that? I didn’t know that they had done that. It sounds awesome!

It originally appeared in a live version, intermingled with other material, on Not Insane in 1972. It was later expanded to full album length and released as a studio LP under the title Shakespeare’s Lost Comedie, and finally released in a slightly further expanded form on CD as Anythynge You Want To. I personally like the (somewhat chaotic) live version best.

From Wonder Woman comes one of my favorites-Suffering Sappho!.

Considering that William Moulton Marston, creator of WW, was deeply into S&M/bondage, & lived with 2 bisexual women who were as well, “Suffering Sappho” may be an “in” joke.

Now, see, one of the reasons I cannot be a magnificent cunt is I have no idea how to do spoilers. I looked but found no button to help me.

Try [ spoiler ] whatever you want to put in the spoiler box [ /spoiler ], removing the spaces between the brackets and the “spoiler” or “/spoiler” word.
Ever since I heard Ajax exclaim “By the Hand of Zeus, what manner of Deviltry is this?” in Duckman, I’ve been searching for an appropriate situation in which to use it real life.

To Martini Enfield I appreciate your help but I do wish the Dope were more like TwoP in that they can click a link to do spoilers.

Glad to help, and I agree with you that it would be helpful to have a one-click “spoiler” UBB code button the way we do for weblinks, quotes, and smileys. Maybe in the next upgrade?
I was surprised to find “By the Great Ceasar’s Ghost, I believe you!” in Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi. He puts it in the mouth of pilot Horace Bixby, who was real, and thwe story is autobiograophical, so I assume it probably really was one of Bixby’s expressions.
I first learned of it from Pwerry White, of course, but this seems to be the case of an expression that really was in common use (at least at one time) and not made up by the writers at DC.
