Not open for further replies.
i dont jail break...i have basketball-type shorts with big pockets, easy to sneak around. as my old clan leader used to say "Do you wanna die young?" i stay up till like 3am...lol
 
ya we should all get on the OT thread at the same time and see how many post we can generate... mods will hate me for this tho. :p
 
That sounds like an awsome idea!!!


see just how many pages we can create....while having some resemblance of a conversation though....that's the tricky part
 
If we are marked to die, we are
enough to do our country loss.
And if to live,
the fewer men,
The greater share of honor.
God's will, I pray thee,
wish not one man more.
Rather, proclaim it,
Westmoreland, through my host,
that he which hath
no stomach to this fight...
let him depart.
His passport shall be made...
and crowns for convoy
put into his purse.
We would not die
in that man's company...
That fears his fellowship
to die with us.
This day is called
the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day
and comes safe home...
will stand at tiptoe
when this day is named...
and rouse him
at the name of Crispian.
He that shall see this day
and live old age...
will yearly, on the vigil,
feast his neighbors...
and say, "tomorrow
is Saint Crispin's."
Then will he strip his sleeve
and show his scars...
and say, "these wounds
I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget,
yet all shall be forgot but
he'll remember with advantages...
what feats he did that day.
Then shall our names, familiar
in their mouths as household words...
Harry the king,
Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot,
Salisbury and Gloucester...
be in their flowing cups
freshly remembered.
This story shall
a good man teach his son.
Crispin Crispian
shall ne'er go by,
from this day to
the ending of the world,
but we in it
shall be remembered.
We few,
we happy few,
we band of brothers.
For he today that sheds his
blood with me shall be my brother.
Be he ne'er so vile,
this day shall gentle his condition.
And gentlemen in England
now abed...
shall think themselves accursed
they were not here...
and hold their manhoods cheap
whiles any speaks
that fought with us...
upon Saint Cispin's day!

-from the play Henry V

Who taught Plato.....who taught Aristole...who taught that women were inferior 'cause they were not fully 'baked' like us men are......

:confused: What's that mean? You didn't think I thought that was from Braveheart, did you? Of course I know that's from Henry V. It's probably my... 2nd favorite Shakespeare play (behind Hamlet). I was saying that William Wallace's speech in Braveheart isn't nearly as good; although, sadly, it's much more widely recognized.

PS- I agree, great movie!
