Magic Shake-Ball



Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

Do you think I'll get invited to the royal wedding? I mean, I know it's a long shot, but maybe I could drop your name, or send them a photo of me in a really big hat? I look good in hats.

Answer:

"Come, go with me,
Under our tents and I'll play the ease-dropper."
(Richard III 5.3.220-221)

Interpretation:

You think I should crash the wedding? Come on— seriously?

Answer:

"Come, come—you're drunk."
(Othello, 2.3.155)

Interpretation:

Way to dash a girl's dreams, Shake-Ball.
