His handwritten will is still around and it's full of misspellings and x-outs. Doesn't seem very Shakespearean.

Maybe he had a talented editor. Maybe he wrote his will while blind drunk.

boooo @ the new skinz.

This is not true. They aren't even 100% sure WS is who he says he is. How can one know if he/she is gay or not. And if he IS gay, that's terrible news; that work will never be taught in English classes in the US ever again.

Maybe in your English classes, but we don't give a fuck if someone was gay or not. Of course they know who Shakespeare is, what a load of rot, all this superstition about them being other peoples plays is rubbish. Either way you can tell from his sonnets he very much appreciates the male form. 120 or so out of 150 or so are homoerotic. Are you saying you don't study Carol Ann Duffy in the US?

What do you mean by "In those days"?

Well, such traditions were started in those days.

The days her father started drinking with English poets.

Who's Carol Ann Duffy?

Seriously I have no idea who that is.

Quite a famous lesbian poet.

"O Grand Valley, How I Yodel In Thee" is one of her most famous works.

Yes.

the echo isn't a very good facsimile of the original yodel

Do we not have the uploader anymore?

It's funny because you're insinuating that her lover has a cavernous hoo-ha.

Take a moment to say that out loud. "Cavernous Hoo-Ha."

I'm pretty sure that just improved your day.

I mis-read it as "carniverous hoo-ha" which is also funny.
