And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness send us emails,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray’s
In deepest consequence.

Doing it gave me some ideas for Lady Macbeth fan t-shirts. That’s a bit of a niche market though :-)

I like ‘Hail King me! Hail King me! FTW!’ and the weather report was great too!

Great job with this one!

Where do I begin to admire this brilliance? Very funny, Mark! Have to say my favorites are the weather and “Re: Lay on MacDoofus!”

You are so kind as ever Kate. I will have to get some nice t-shirts done for the site, just so I can send you one.

Love this! Are you going to be doing any more Shakespeare ones? Might I recommend King Lear or Othello? :D

Not sure what the owl reference is about. Did you perhaps mean to put down “raven” instead?

The owl is referenced as shrieking during the murder.
