Mojo, The Bard, & Me

 

Give me thy hand. I do begin to have bloody thoughts.

 

-Stephano

The Tempest                    Act IV Scene i, Line 219

 

This is right before they see the clothes hanging on the line that Propsero has left out as bait, and it is also right before Prospero springs the trap and chases Stephano, Trinculo, and Caliban off with dogs.

Previous to today’s Totally Random Line is Caliban talking about killing Prospero so that Stephano could be king of the island. That’s why Stephano is having bloody thoughts, but these thoughts are interrupted by Trinculo, who sees the clothes, 

O King Stephano! O peer! O worthy Stephano! Look what a wardrobe is here for thee!

And then the two of them start fighting over the clothes. Note that the two humans are easily distracted. The sub-human Caliban is not fooled at all. What does that tell you?

I'm keying in on wardrobe, as opposed to bloody thoughts for today's pic. So, here's your favorite blogger with a new look. Actually, not a new wardrobe, but a new haircut, which is not the same thing, but at least it's sort of related. Isn't it?
