Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Have I, my lord? Assure you, my good liege,
I hold my duty, as I hold my soul,
Both to my God and to my gracious king:
And I do think—or else this brain of mine
Hunts not the trail of policy so sure

As it hath used to do—that I have found

The very cause of Hamlet’s lunacy.

 

Polonius

Hamlet                    Act II Scene ii, Line 44

Polonius is the OG long-story-short-Tony. All he’s saying here is Yes, I think I know why Hamlet’s acting so strange.

Having said that, I must say that I like, and I wish I could remember it so I could use it, a piece of long-story-short-Polonius’s line: Or else this brain of mine hunts not the trail of policy so sure as it hath used to do. Oh boy, I could use that line many times a day. I guess a lot of people my age could. Only problem is that people my age are no way going to remember something that long because, well, these brains of ours hunt not the trail of policy so sure as they hath used to do. I think that’s what they call a Catch-22. Oh well. Still, not a bad line, even though it’s a little long.

Apparently we’ve petered out on the Peter streak. But just to make sure that you’ll not be too disappointed, here’s a second helping of Walker Peter with baby Mojo; no long-story-short-Pete stuff, just a good, solid pic.
