Anyone else notice that if they'd forgone all this nightingale/lark BS and just stayed in bed they might have lived happily ever after? I think that there's the real morale of the story.

Maybe even the moral of the story.
Or maybe even the morrel of the story? Always was partial to 'shrooms... and typos!
In their case (or there case or they're case) the mushroom was the Death Angel.
So that's three cases of 'shrooms? Anything else in your order today?
A case of wine, a case of mistaken identity, and a case in point.
Agggh! I surrender. Your pithy persiflage has carried the day. Perhaps this banter would have been better in the Language & Grammar group. No sense confusing the Shakespeare tyros.
that was a wonderful exchange- made me laugh and learn a new word!
Thank God that Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet. Otherwise I wouldn't witness such humorous discussion. :D

I think I'm the only one confused by this whole conversation... :(
Masterfully done, both players.
Quality thread. *like*

I started this topic to discuss the advantages of sloth. If R&J had just stayed in bed the world's most popular ampersanded expression would be PB&J. Instead we get this tragedy. That conversation degenerated / escalated into a would be witty exchange on spelling and double meanings. But please, feel free to comment on the advantages of Sloth in medeaval literature.
But there's no tragedy in Sloth!
Too true. Perseverance may eventually yield rewards but procrastination yields immediate rewards!

Pardon me, but I believe PB&J is a much more popular ampersanded expression than R&J. I, at least, have never heard the latter before.
As for "sloth in medieval literature", Shakespeare was not medieval, he was Elizabethan/Baroque.
You know, speaking of the advantages of sloth, I do believe it would have been much better if the Bard had been too lazy to write Romeo and Juliet in the first place. It is quite overrated.

I wonder if that's why they say "If it ain't Baroque don't fix it." Actually the original comment was somewhat facetious. Sort of "tongue in chic"
Not to worry Stephen, I referred to a newt as a reptile in another discussion, and was quickly corrected. There are many sharp eyed smart ones on Goodreads.
