Today’s Totally Random

Well, you are a rare parrot-teacher.

Chatterer, blabber, or empty talker: that’s what my Shakespeare glossary says parrot-teacher means. So, I guess this parrot-teacher word belongs in one of those Shakespeare Insults lists.
I never liked
those lists. With all the fabulous writing that Will did, why on earth would we
want to concentrate on some silly insult words? It’s an absolute travesty;
nothing short of a travesty.
And just so you
know, yes, Benedick is addressing Beatrice with this line. Did you have any
doubts about that?
I ran into this whilst surfing the web. It's Ian Flemings daily schedule; I would love to have this schedule. I wonder what a pink gin is, and what kind of powerful drinks he had at 5pm. I generally have a beer around 5pm, but that's neither here nor there.
Now I'm just rambling, so I suppose you could call me a parrot-teacher!
