  1. I volunteer for all thankless and humorless (supporting) roles to open up the field a bit more for all you aspiring Will Kemps out there.

  2. MArc: My post above should have read something like this.

    Good sir, your attempt to relieve the rest of the other members of this fair cast from having to speak less than uplifting or edifying words, yea even mundane ones, is a truly noble act. Yet hear me. The servingmen, whose station is indeed lower than others and meant to be as they care called, servants, provide such small smiles that are rare in this great tragedy. So I say to you these words spoken by such lowly placed men are to be envied by the ones who wish to speak as part of this great drama.

  3. The servants are the clowns (hence Kemp
    Is referenced). I make myself exempt
    From these too juicy roles because I know
    The rest of you Will fight to steal the show.

  4. We baste the meaty roles, roasting slowly,
    Then hams burst forth too rich to be lowly.
