The semester hasn't started back up yet, so the earliest that I could do the oral defense is the end of January. It might be February before I can do it, though, because of scheduling reasons. Plus I have that minor detail of finishing writing the thing.

So very late...

So it is, better go to bed - goodnight everyone!!

Re: your tag line: "Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool"

A talented fool is one, who having failed at first, redoubles his efforts.

POINTZ.
Come, shelter, shelter: I have remov'd Falstaff's horse,
and he frets like a gumm'd velvet.

PRINCE.
Stand close.

[They retire.]

[Enter Falstaff.]

FAL.
Pointz! Pointz, and be hang'd! Pointz!

PRINCE.

[Coming forward.]

Peace, ye fat-kidney'd rascal! what a brawling dost thou keep!

FAL.
Where's Pointz, Hal?

PRINCE.
He is walk'd up to the top of the hill: I'll go seek him.

[Retires.]

FAL.
I am accursed to rob in that thief's company: the rascal hath
removed my horse, and tied him I know not where. If I travel but
four foot by the squire further a-foot, I shall break my wind.
Well, I doubt not but to die a fair death for all this, if I 'scape
hanging for killing that rogue. I have forsworn his company hourly
any time this two-and-twenty year, and yet I am bewitch'd with the
rogue's company. If the rascal have not given me medicines to make
me love him, I'll be hang'd; it could not be else: I have drunk
medicines.--
Pointz!--Hal!--a plague upon you both!--Bardolph!--Peto!--I'll
starve, ere I'll rob a foot further. An 'twere not as good a deed as
drink, to turn true man, and to leave these rogues, I am the veriest
varlet that ever chewed with a tooth. Eight yards of uneven ground
is threescore and ten miles a-foot with me; and the stony-hearted
villains know it well enough: a plague upon't, when thieves cannot
be true one to another!
[They whistle.] Whew!--A plague upon you all! Give me
my horse, you rogues; give me my horse, and be hang'd!

I usually post on this thread. Although, we should be moving to a new zot thread after the new year. If you like, sionnsar can add you to his Undead Thread ping list to make sure you get pinged to the new thread.

"Plus I have that minor detail of finishing writing the thing."

I see you, too, have a problem with spelling that desecreation thing. LOL!

[Baraonda]

Nighty night, Irish_Thatcherite, and sweet dreams.

[A CA Guy]

Don't blame us for that one 76, we offered to help write it.

I was thinking about maybe a taxation script for a movie of the week.
People in the ocean hunting for treasure, someone comes up with a gold brick, then out of nowhere the IRS agents pop up screaming."Treasure trove...pay up now".

Could go right against CSI, sounds like a winner to me.

PRINCE.
[Coming forward.] Peace! lie down; lay thine ear close to the
ground, and list if thou canst hear the tread of travellers.

FAL.
Have you any levers to lift me up again, being down? 'Sblood, I'll
not bear mine own flesh so far a-foot again for all the coin in thy
father's exchequer. What a plague mean ye to colt me thus?

PRINCE.
Thou liest; thou art not colted, thou art uncolted.

FAL.
I pr'ythee, good Prince Hal, help me to my horse, good king's
son.

PRINCE.
Out, ye rogue! shall I be your ostler?

FAL.
Go, hang thyself in thine own heir-apparent garters! If I be
ta'en, I'll peach for this. An I have not ballads made on you
all, and sung to filthy tunes, let a cup of sack be my poison.
When a jest is so forward, and a-foot too, I hate it.

[Enter Gadshill.]

GADS.
Stand!

FAL.
So I do, against my will.

POINTZ.
O, 'tis our setter: I know his voice.

[Comes forward with Bardolph and Peto.]

BARD.
What news?

GADS.
Case ye, case ye; on with your visards: there's money of
the King's coming down the hill; 'tis going to the King's
exchequer.

FAL.
You lie, ye rogue; 'tis going to the King's tavern.

GADS.
There's enough to make us all.

FAL.
To be hang'd.

LOL!

It's a "dissertation."

I prefer calling it a massive book. ;-)

[tuliptree76]

Part of my favorite script is on my profile. (It's not Shakespeare though.) :-)

[Baraonda]

"It's a "dissertation.""

Ok. I had it right on my first post mentioning the theng then, but made a spelling boo-boo on the second post.

Why don't you slim it down a little if it's too big. Keep it short and simple, girl!

[tuliptree76]

LOL!

I wonder how popular a show about IRS Agents or tax return preparers would be?

My inspiration for the readings this evening is the same as that of your script.

[tuliptree76]

LOL! I have to include EVERYTHING related to my topic.

"It's a "dissertation.""

I'd rather have dessert than a dissertation, wouldn't you?

Two portions folks, dig in!

Your tagline is cool. Demographics are so important!! Lol!

[Baraonda]

What's your topic?

I read somewhere that if you use a colon in the title that it will impress the reader more than if w/o one.
