Culture shock!

[Erenan]

I'm getting married to a Latina this Saturday. She's part Honduran, part Mexican, and part Native American. She's even a real woman to boot! :o

[Babar]

Congrabulations!

I once screamed at one of the actors during a theatre performance. I don't know about culture, but there was definitely a large amount of shock involved.

I once left some milk on the counter for two months.

I went in CJs Car once. He got us lost.

[Pumaman]

We weren't lost, we were just enjoying a tour of the culture that Sunderland had to offer.

See, you never get lost when I'm navigating...

well, much...

I've just finished authoring a DVD about monks, and another DVD about Hitler in the same week!

I don't know if that's cultured (They had subtitles...), but seeing Ava Braun run off with Hitler's shoes was a bit of a shock.

I'm gonna go get drunk tomorrow.

[shameless_blog_ad] There are more photos of Çanakkale (and Troy) here: http://asiridozyanilsama.blogspot.com/2007/05/anakkaleden-resimler.html [/shameless_blog_ad]

And also I was in theater about one month ago. Fortunataly; some unfortunate events, I had to have 2 years ago, did not occur this time  (reminding something funny just in the beginning of the play and distracting the actors as I was barely be able to help my cracking).  (But the thing I remembered was really funny at that moment!)

Hmm, define "cultured"

Why a cultured man needs to visit Shakespears birthplace? Visit an interesting museum or galery instead, I believe its much more fun.

I ate some yogurt with live and active cultures.

Think you're fancy, eh? Damn culture-snob!

I just read Ben. Jonson's 'Volpone'. Elizabethan drama is pretty cultured. On the other hand, I'm probably going to see Spiderman 3 this evening. I suppose that cancels it out...

I'm one of those assholes who suspects the author of the plays and the man from Stratford aren't the same guy.      Probably multiple folks credited as one guy.   But we'll never know.   Most of the "facts" historians cite are snippets they infer from the plays.  That the stratford man MUST have stayed in Italy based on his knowledge of Italian culture etc.   But there are no documents or otherwise beyond a will and some deeds.   And the guy who filled them out appears to be rather dull... and illiterate.


I have a book sitting next to me called "Players: The Mysterious Identity of William Shakespeare"  If not the book itself, I suggest the argument.   Its a fascinating topic.   Atheists could get into it for sure.


There's a little culture shock for you   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespearean_authorship_question

Interesting belief Evenwolf, I know there's debate about plays like King Lear where Will apparently took inspiration from an earlier play called King Lier...so who knows exactly what he she them or "it" were up too :p Even so, if it brings fine actors and other A List celebs into a town near me I'm satisfied Even though Stratford is WAY too busy, and the innercitytown dual carriageways are intense!!

Ali; Haha! yep I'd say reading that qualifies! Not that I've ever heard of it. But Elizabethen makes sense Enjoy Spidey3!

radiowaves - an Englishman might consider it to be part of their heritage. Afterall we are educated in Shakespeare, so it makes sense to get a better understanding of who you're going to be force-fed about for several years :p Stratford is full of tourists, which I'd say would define it as a place respected for heralding a certain kind of culture that has inspired more than just Englishmen I agree a gallery would be just as interesting and cultured, and more fun if you insist!!

Matt,

I've just finished authoring a DVD about monks, and another DVD about Hitler in the same week!

One for the CV How about authoring a CD-ROM called AGS Annual #2 ?

Congrabulations!

Hahahaha I heard in Shakespeare's day the audience were expected to boo and jeer characters and stuff, of even the most serious tragedy plays. It's a shame it can't be that kind of atmosphere in some performances! Maybe it is, just not in Stratford! Not that I'd know when to boo or jeer anyway ;p

Thanks for all the replies! I guess there is some culture going on culture may be a bit vague! What I really meant was just like artistic culture! Famous plays and playwrights etc. Art galleries, monuments, etc. Even modern culture things :p Whatever!

Done that, as the non-uk ags-ers can confirm.  Just haven't gotten around to distributing the copies to the rest of you!  What can I say, I've been too busy doing DVDs about frigging Monks!!!

I like Culture Club. I know, Shocking!!
