Alrighty, then.

I wanted to think of something that hasn't been done in the previous 186 contests. Then I realized that I'm far to lazy to read through them to figure out what has and hasn't been done. So I've decided to try something that probably hasn't been done, and if it has, well... pretend that it hasn't.

The theme for this contest is... Shakespeare.

Main rule: You must portray a scene or scenes from a newly discovered Shakespeare play, hidden from existence until now because it is so godawful.
Series are okay, but if you go more than 5 or 6 episodes, I will fall asleep, causing me to bump my head on the table and think bad thoughts about you.
Extra points for using iambic pentameter, though it is not required.
Extra points for mentioning or using kidney stones as the subject of your play. Why? My wife has one right now so it comes to mind, and it's my contest so get OFF MY BACK YOU FREAK!!!!
As ever, being funny counts for more than anything.
Contest ends... late Wednesday, SC time.

Let the games begin.

Spankling May 18, 2003 10:23 AM	Oops... I misinterpreted two of the rules. Kidney stones needs to be the subject (not a side note) and it needs to be funny. Oh well.

They say that if you have an infinite number of monkeys typing at an infinite number of keyboards for an infinite period of time, you will get the collected works of Shakespeare.

Over-compensating, I think. If you have an infinite number of monkeys and keyboards, you don't need infinite time - one of the monkeys will type the Complete Works immediately. Conversely, if you have infinite time, just one monkey will do. So your system is needlessly bloated.

JUDGEMENT!

Thank you all for entering. I, Chairman Kaga, have found this to be more entertaining than expected. You have all done a fine job of incorporating our theme ingredient, Shakespeare.

My favorite dishes... er.. comics, were:

MaxPayne - Hamlet Gone Wild - Because everyone loves a good ejaculation joke.
itsclark - You Mock Me, Sir - Funny.
kaufman - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Abducted By Aliens - The usual superior work.
Spankling - King George II - Too true.
umfumdisi - Marlowe Is A Pouf - Nicely done all around.
drunkenboat - The Question - Nice first effort. Welcome to the monkey house.
crabby - Romeo and Juliet (Rough Draft) - Simply elegant. Comic perfection.
mmyers - King Lear, the sitcom - Ha!

I must choose a winner from these fine entries. You have made my choice difficult. No doubt those of you who spent a lot of time working on your iambic pentameter and kidney stones will plan my painful demise after my decision (but they were optional rules). In the end, I must award this to...

CRABBY

Go to it, man.
