Happy Saint Crispin's Day!

Familiar ever after as the day the battle of Agincourt took place, giving William Shakespeare the opportunity to write one of the most stirring speeches in the English tongue.

So what if the English were really only outnumbered 3:2? It was still a victory over the Frogs, right? ;-)

Oh, that's where the phrase 'household words' comes from.

I noticed that when I was rereading the speech today (and, no, those weren't tears! it was just, um, very bright in here all of a sudden).

It's St. Crispin's Day? Well, gosh! I might have to subject The Boy to some Shakespeare tonight. And give lots of two-fingered salutes.

Aw, thanks! It's fun to be crude and know that 99% of the interwebs will have no idea what you're saying.

I am a Scot. Due to the Auld Alliance, we do not celebrate that English victory.
