Magic Shake-Ball


Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

I know that I should watch "Downton Abbey," because everyone keeps talking about it, but I kind of don't want to. What should I do?

Answer:

"Haste thee for thy life."
(King Lear 5.3.225)

Interpretation:

Okay, it's just a TV show, Shake-Ball. But now you're making me paranoid. Am I going to be socially exiled if I don't get on this bandwagon?

Answer:

"therefore on, or strip your sword stark naked, for meddle you must, that's certain."
(Twelfth Night 3.4.223-24)

Interpretation:

Okay, okay. Cool your jests. I'll give it a shot.
