Being a coldhearted SOB is the only protection you have against "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". Is it worth it?

    To be a cold hearted SOB or not to be a cold hearted SOB that is the question. Whether it's nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or take to arms against a sea of trouble  Anyway in a cold hearted SOBs mind I think they believe it`s worth it. Since it's almost Canada Day I thought I would push a Canadian TV series called - Slings And Arrows. It  was about a Canadian theatrical group struggling to make Shakespeare cool again - it can be quite funny and interesting. Cheers and happy weekend!

     Thanks Nanoose. I'm gonna check it out  and see if it is accessible to me. Do you think it's kinda weird that I would come up with that knowing nothing whatsoever about its existence? Me too. Go figger! Thank you for  your reply.

    I know Nanoose. I am a great fan of old Willy! I Googled "Slings and Arrows" and clicked on the Wickipedia description. It lasted 3 seasons of six shows each. I read a synopsis of each season and any show featuring a ghost is my cuppa tea. It won many awards and ran from 2003-2006. It was available to view at the time but we don't subscribe to those channels. It sounds splendid delightful and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!  Thanks for the heads up. And oh. My favorite lines from Shakespeare? Well if I've already shared them with you please forgive the duplication. Lines from Macbeth.

    Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day.  To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools  The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury  Signifying nothing". Nails donjuan perfectly!  Idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing! That Willy was very prescient wasn't he? Hundreds of year ago he was talking about doofus don! :)
