I never realized that "Strange brew" had anything to do with "Hamlet."

At best it's VERY loosely based on Hamlet. It's at Elsinore, a brother kills brother to wed his step sister and take over the castle/brewery... yeah, that's about it.

Well, I saw it many years ago, when it came out.

What? Hamlet? I had pictured you slightly younger than that, paul.

Paul is seriously (and somewhat surprisingly) talented, and wears his age well.

" I had pictured you slightly younger than that, paul." [TC]
That's because I'm ruled by my inner child. 
It's the inner adult that can't seem to get his act together.

It also helps that there are very few pictures of me on the Internet, so you can't see what a battered wreck I'm not.
The one video that I appear in only shows my belly. I sing with a group that sang the "Star-spangled banner" at a baseball game a while ago. I'm way off at the left side of the group. The camera focuseso n the sopranos at the right, and barely pans over to the left at the end. My face never appears.

Gingko-biloba in the form of tea, the extract (great in tea or coca-cola), or tablets (I usually use the Clark's Nutrition [ http://www.clarksnutrition.com/ ] store brand name formulations, though there are similar products available at most health food stores), traditional for centuries in Chinese folk medicine for older people, is useful for that.
For example, if my game of 'Go' is slumping, performance picks up within an hour or so of an eye-dropper full in my cola.

As Robbie can see, the real purpose of announcement threads is to see just how far from the original topic they can stray...

It's a feature of h2g2 which has always irritated me. If you guys could focus, you could do such great things. Yes even you, your dogship.

Drat. My prediction was that your reply would be "that's me told, then."

I'm grateful that you have kept it handy, Gnomon. I have fond memories of meeting you at that meet.
Could there be a guide entry of photos of H2G2 researchers at different meets?

"Meet photos which I have seen. So 
at you, Paul.
[rev Nick]
Is "rev" short for "irreverent"?
If you've seen those photos, good, but since then I have lost weight, grown long fangs, and used the services of Igor for a makeover. Okay, so only the first item is true , but I'm still more truthful [in terms of truthiness] than some presidential candidates who shall remain nameless [rhymes with "shameless"].
