Whatcha think, geckzilla Has BMAONE23 Stumped Art, or is he just still digging his way out of all that Bull that BMAONE23 threw at him

I've already given 3 responses for cows. I thought that was pretty neat.

• The Winter's Tale: I, ii

LEONTES: We must be neat; not neat, but cleanly, captain:

• And yet the steer, the heifer and the calf
  Are all call'd neat.--Still virginalling
  Upon his palm!--How now, you wanton calf!
  Art thou my calf?

<<A castrated male is called a steer in the United States; older steers are often called bullocks in other parts of the world, but in North America this term refers to a young bull. A castrated male kept for draft purposes is called an ox (plural oxen); "ox" may also be used to refer to some carcass products from any adult cattle, such as ox-hide, ox-blood, oxtail, or ox-liver. Neat (horned oxen), beef (young ox) and beefing (young animal fit for slaughtering) are obsolete terms.

<<An ox (plural oxen), also known as a bullock in Australia, New Zealand and India, is a bovine trained as a draft animal. Oxen are commonly castrated adult male cattle; castration makes the animals easier to control. Oxen are usually yoked in pairs. Light work such as carting household items on good roads might require just one pair, while for heavier work, further pairs would be added as necessary. A team used for a heavy load over difficult ground might exceed nine or ten pairs.>>

<<Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (or Oxenford) was an English peer and courtier of the Elizabethan era. Oxford was heir to the second oldest earldom in the kingdom, a court favorite for a time, a sought-after patron of the arts, and noted by his contemporaries as a lyric poet and playwright, but his reckless and volatile temperament precluded him from attaining any courtly or governmental responsibility and contributed to the dissipation of his estate. Since the 1920s he has been the most popular alternative candidate proposed for the authorship of Shakespeare's works.>>

Well, time to let the herd mosey on out to pasture.
How about something light and airy

Float like a butterfly,
quote like a bard.
When it comes to Shakespeare's long writings,
lets keep them under a yard.

• Sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

• And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
  As any she belied with false compare.

OK! That does it. The only way to stump Art is to tie him to a chair in the middle of an all white room, in front of a mirror, and tape his mouth closed.

OR... start an "I've been stumped by Art" thread. That just may work.
The only way Art could post in an "I've been stumped by Art thread", is if he found a way to stump himself.

SIR HUGH EVANS: You suffer for a pad conscience:

• The Winter's Tale Act 4, Scene 4

AUTOLYCUS: I have sold all my trumpery; not a counterfeit stone,

• not a ribbon, glass, pomander, brooch, table-book, ballad,
  knife, tape, glove, shoe-tie, bracelet, horn-ring,
  to keep my pack from fasting: they throng who
  should buy first, as if my trinkets had been
  hallowed and brought a benediction to the buyer:
  by which means I saw whose purse was best in
  picture; and what I saw, to my good use I remembered.

• Hamlet, Prince of Denmark Act 2, Scene 2

LORD POLONIUS: If I had play'd the desk or table-book,

• Or given my heart a winking, mute and dumb,
  Or look'd upon this love with idle sight;
  What might you think? No, I went round to work,
  And my young mistress thus I did bespeak:
  'Lord Hamlet is a prince, out of thy star;
  This must not be:' and then I precepts gave her,
  That she should lock herself from his resort,
  Admit no messengers, receive no tokens.

<<Rosemary Clooney recalled an incident that happened the afternoon of The Edsel Show's telecast:

“ The show was built around the newest Ford offering, the 1958 Edsel. A new vista of motoring pleasure, unlike any other car you've ever seen. The only Edsel I ever saw was one they gave me to drive while I was rehearsing. I came out of the CBS Building, up those little steps to the street where my purple Edsel was waiting, like the Normandie in drydock. Mr. Ford was right behind me, heading for his Edsel. I opened the door of my car and the handle came off. I turned to him, holding it out to him. "About your car...">>

• Macbeth Act 2, Scene 1

MACBETH: The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.

• I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
  Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
  To feeling as to sight?

KING RICHARD II: For well we know, no hand of blood and bone

  mine honour thou hadst it not.

..And Mr. Ford replied;
"Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the
wing wherewith we fly to heaven. And so I will
give some kind of parting knowledge to the designer of such
an inferior handle as this of which I have been so enlightened."

<<EDSEL Bryant Ford (November 6, 1893 – May 26, 1943) was president of Ford Motor Company from 1919 to his death in 1943. As president, Edsel Ford often disagreed with his father on major decisions and was occasionally humiliated in public by the older man. Edsel long advocated the introduction of a more modern automobile to replace the Model T but was repeatedly overruled by his father. Dwindling market share finally made introduction of a new model inevitable. The resulting Model A was a commercial success, selling over four million during four years of production. Edsel also significantly strengthened Ford Motors' overseas production, and modernized the company's cars, such as by introducing hydraulic brakes. Edsel Ford was one of the most significant Art benefactors in Detroit history. As president of the Detroit Arts Commission, he commissioned the famous Diego Rivera Detroit Industry mural in the Detroit Institute of Arts. After his death, his family continued to make significant contributions.>>

For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictured lies;
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.

• Venus and Adonis

But that thou told'st me thou wouldst hunt the boar.
O, be advised! thou know'st not what it is
With javelin's point a churlish swine to gore,
Whose tushes never sheathed he whetteth still,
Like to a mortal butcher bent to kill.
'On his bow-back he hath a battle set
Of bristly pikes, that ever threat his foes;
His eyes, like glow-worms, shine when he doth fret;
His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes;
Being moved, he strikes whate'er is in his way,
And whom he strikes his cruel tushes slay.
