And now, for Shakespeare
To be perfectly honost, the Bard has never particularly interested me. *Pause for gasps of horror*
I mean it Aspen.
I hold nothing against his work, but it has never intriguid me the way it has captured the hearts of others. He is simply another author (another dead one at that) who we have to read. Maychance I have not been exposed to an accurate and decent presentation of him, with a professor willing to spend the time and energy on him.
Nothing particularl against him (a consider King Lear to be one of the greatest poems ever written -- maybe that's my problem), but I personnaly do not hold him in the esteem others do.
Now it is your turn to prove me wrong. This class will be my last great exposure to Shakespeare, and as such it is your job (as students) to provide me with a reason to keep actively studying the Bard (who, ironically, was not a Bard).
This is your quest, and the very fate of the world may rest upon it, for my future my change from what you bring, and, as Dr. Sexson said, we all will do great things. The challange is given, and now may you meet it.

I speak on both aspen and myselfs behalf, you will be halved. And then be quartered. And a picture will be sketched that you may be drawn as well. And then we shall take that picture and frame it and place it on a wall that you may then be pressed and hung. We will place this picture upon a scale and write upon it the weight that you may find yourself tared. When the age of neglect settles upon your picture we will dust it that you may be feathered as well.
The shakespeare fan club is now after you.
Beware the mortal peril you are in!
Of kind regard I must speak clear and true.
Move fast of foot and hope to save your skin!
I suggest instead of killing me (for then I will be but a martyr), you take up the challenge I left.
No, no, actually I like Mick's idea. Forward, Bardolators! We have an infidel to deal with!!
On a more serious note, I will do my demndest to get you educated before the semester (or the tenure of our friendship) runs out. Even if that means sitting on you and smacking you with pillows and "The Riverside Shakespeare" until you recant.
