Don't I always think of Brad when the word "punster" is mentioned?

Why should I have to say he was? Aren't I entitled to my own opinions?

(Hunter, I like Shakespeare just fine, I just find the quote in question entirely hypocritical, and I especially dislike being told what I should think - not directed at you or anyone in particular.)

Did I ever say you weren't?


TB: Haha, sorry, didn't mean it the way you thought I did. I'm not even a real fan of Shakespeare... No offense intended...
