"HOG Muk" Proto. . . Sneak Peek ! ! ! !

Bring-the-MUK.gif
 
Most people don't know this little bit of trivia.

Will Bill Shakespear was a great fan of the muck knife.

In point of fact the original transcripts of some of his most famous writings read quite a bit different than the published versions.

For instance here's one that somebody changed around after his death.


"Is this a MUCK which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but(45)
A MUCK of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this MUCK which now I draw."

It probably makes more sense now that it has been chamged to the original format, don'cha think?

Here's another.

Hamlet:
Swear by my MUCK!
Never to speak of this that you have heard.


Ghost:
[Beneath] Swear by his MUCK!

Hamlet:
Well said, old MUCK, canst work i' th' earth so fast?
A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.

ANd still more...

Falstaff:
I will not lend thee a MUCK.

Pistol:
Why then the world's mine oyster,
Which I with MUCK will open.

Falstaff:
Not a MUCK.

Here endeth the lesson.

Shane.
