Magic Shake-Ball



Dear Magic Shake-Santa:

If I'm very good this year, will one of my students bring me hash brownies?

Answer:

My lord, to step out of these dreary dumps,
How comes it that the subtle Queen of Goths
Is of a sudden thus advanced in Rome?

(Titus Andronicus 1.1.399-401)

Interpretation:

I'm not sure what you're implying, Shake-Santa, but I would never, say, advance someone to an "A" for doing something as subtle as sneaking hash brownies into my classroom (Campion Hall, Room 123, TTH 12:00-1:30, p.s. I don't like nuts).
