Hamlet: Excellent, i' faith; of the chameleon's dish: I eat the air, promise-crammed: you cannot feed capons so.
Claudius: I have nothing with this answer, Hamlet; these words are not mine.
Hamlet: No, nor mine now.
is it just mindless rambling or am I missing something?

I get the idea he is saying something Like "Great! especially because you keep trying to force feed me heaping piles of steaming bullsh!t about how you didn't kill my father and all! I don't buy it!"
Thats just my interpretation. He is so convoluted in saying it that poor old Claudius doesn't get it. Maybe because he isn't very bright.
Make a note to yourself: read "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" by Tom Stoppard once you finish hamlet.

Oh, goodness, the progression from "raping" to "killing" to "raping then killing" then finally to "killing then raping" made me laugh out loud. Quite a feat; it hasn't been done via internet for quite some time.
The last three are okay (still creative, though).
you should read it. it's much more entertaining that way. and, uhh, no you can't use this. you can look thoughOriginally posted by: Crappopotamus
