The Wonder Show  

Tonight's Wonder Show was "March Madness".  Somehow, that came to embody a prophesy of death, a "Watchmen" themed elimination tournament, a prowling hungry lion, and a non-wicker wicker man.  Me, I still don't get it.  So in place of any further pointless rambling, I present to you a classic moment from that all-time classic, Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", Act I, Scene II (The setting: a public place):

Soothsayer

15   Caesar!

CAESAR

16   Ha! who calls?

CASCA

17   Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!

CAESAR

18   Who is it in the press that calls on me?
19   I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
20   Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.

Soothsayer

21   Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR

22   What man is that?

BRUTUS

23   A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

CAESAR

24   Set him before me; let me see his face.

CASSIUS

25   Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

CAESAR

26   What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

Soothsayer

27   Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR

28   He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

Sennet. Exeunt all except BRUTUS and CASSIUS

***

Hah!  It may be no "Watchmen", but it's all I've got for you this time.  So ponder THAT over your next can of aerosol cheese, pencil necks!

Thanks for listening.
