Shakespeare nerds! (And other nerds!) Are you looking for an outlet for all the pent up old-timey insults you’ve got floating around in your brain just waiting to be hurled? Well stop just biting your thumb at people and do something about it! (Or Patrick Stewart himself says you’re an ingrate and cankered louse, and who are we to disagree?)
