Beauty is truth, truth beauty
But it doesn't hurt to have great booty.

Little Lamb, who made thee?
And can I get the recipe?

The no index tags keep the page from showing up in a Google search.

One of the runner-up prizes is a coffee mug. It's a very good mug. Holds a big cup of coffee, has a sturdy handle large enough for my big fingers, and says "My Cup Punneth Over" on the outside. So don't sneer at the prizes.

By the way, this is an embarrassing question to ask, but I'll ask anyway since I would really like to know. Does anyone happen to know whether I published any tailgaters in Light Quarterly? I don't have any record of doing so, but I have a dim recollection that I might have. I need to know because I don't want to accidently submit published material to the Washington Post, which has a rule against that.

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I and my conscience quickly compromise.

Another one I like, but it's been published:

They that have power to hurt and will do none
Will not have much success in Washington.

Thanks for giving us this, Roger. It's no end of fun.
And Hamlet is a great subject.

To be or not to be, that is the question.
It's difficult. I'm open to suggestion.
