I think you misread it: his name is "Bill".
What? No "mittens"?
Can't stand in-jokes. Especially the onesfrom Fort Lauderdalein a poll.
Au contraire. You have no right not to use it.
... and it wasn't a joke, it was deadly serious. People were banned over misuse of mittens.
PS: Mittens was a cat.
Geek-manny, at least.
Never heard of 'em but interested. The Comedy of Errors.
I have the same issues with Shakespeare as with da Vinci and other "masters".
Yes, they are OK stories executed fairly well by the standards of the day, but what makes them "masterpieces"? Most of his plays are versions/ copies of others, what is it that makes a play (written, let's be honest, in language that is at best semi-comprehensible to a modern person) attributed to him better than the same story in a play by someone else?
Boy meets girl, parents fight, boy and girl meet sticky end. Sounds like a Glee episode: just because it is written in Elizabethan English doesn't make it great, in my view. Anything that has to be read in conjunction with a user guide to help the reader understand what (the author of the user guide considered) was meant is exactly the opposite to great as far as I can see.
Back to the da Vinci bit: If someone discovered tomorrow that a play thought until now to be written by "mediaeval bloggs" was actually written by Billy WaggleDagger™, it becomes an instant masterpiece. (Paintings hanging on a pensioner's wall for decades bought for a tenner in a flea market become multi-million pound properties if someone somewhere decides that they are "an original da Vinci"). balls.
My brain is like a sieve. That, plus there was too much bass in the OP link. It gave me the willies.
