re: hsbc upd8, I just realized something. Rose and Ly’lac are both named after flowers

What if all the nymphs are named after different flowers (to match rose) and all the satyrs are named after different weapons (to match dirk)

I think I might be onto something here

"An Unweeded Garden" - the worst Hamlet essays, ever

Just watched some hilarious Shakespeare with Seri, so I thought I’d post this.

By Michael F. LaGory, compiled from student essays on Hamlet (1975-1991):

*****

At the start of the play the mood changes. The air on the guard platform is crispy. A ghost appears, but he is forbidden to tell Hamlet about his morbid lifestyle. Hamlet decides to act madly. He gets in an antic position. Polonius finds him manually walking. He tells Rosencrantz and Guildernstern that Fortune is a trumpet. Later the Prince will unleash his true colors. A mental and physical character, Hamlet uses his mental powers intellectually. His nature leads him to different places. Bedraggled by suspicion and uncertainty, his “O that this too too sullied flesh would melt” soliloquy unfolds the petals of his blooming character. Alone, he wonders whether to be or to not be. He gets psyched out by the thoughts of death, and thinks real philosophical thoughts, mentality-wise. For instance, death is a tragedy and it’s not worth giving your life for. Dying is something one does not do every day. Everyone hopes to possess the quality of reason. Thinking greatly influenced success or failure in life. But mental retardity is a universal flaw of all human beings.

Ophelia is lower class. She is a real airhead. Polonius and Laertes feed negative input into her mind. Polonius, the Lord Chambermaid, wants Ophelia to put her relationship on hold. She tells Hamlet she can’t go out with him anymore. Her father uses underminded tactics. He wants to gather data on the Prince. So she reports her impressions as an obedient daughter of Hamlet. With “doublet all unbraced,” Ophelia speaks to Hamlet, and finds him strangely excited. In those times women’s place was in the kitchen. That’s why Ophelia didn’t get a job, like in our society today. We can infer that Hamlet and Ophelia conceived an illegitimate child by reading between the lines. In the end she drowns to death.

Hamlet has a thing for his mother. He has an edible complex. Gertrude is an obvious woman. She is one of the most unfaithful wives of all time. However, she is not at the mercy of her brain. When Polonius enters Gertrude the Queen is bored and asks for “More matter and less art.” Her son accuses her of incense. Hamlet finally comes out of the closet with Polonius, after reaching an understanding with the Queen.

We also learn about the characters of Claudius. His downfall begins to arise when an uprising led by Laertes befalls him. Laertes is consumed by a thirst for revenge. In the graveshift scene Hamlet  talks to Yorick and speculates the type of person once existed in  the skull. The Gravedigger’s pronunciation examplifies his unlearnedness.

It is fitting that Hamlet should die when his life comes to an end. Another tragic hero, Oedipus, forces out his eyes and condoms himself. Horatio speaks a eulogy to the Great Dane.

Shakespeare uses phrases throughout the play. He writes in pyrrhic monometer. He wrote all his books in Old English so they would be hard to understand but more artistic. He quotes a lot of famous sayings, like “Something’s rotten in Denmark” and “To thine own self be true.”

T. S. Eliot wrote an essay about Shakespeare’s novel. He could not  find Hamlet convincing, so Shakespeare revised the original comedy by Thomas Kyd. Eliot offered ideas which Shakespeare should have  done, but Shakespeare didn’t use them. His final advise to the reader is to understand things which Shakespeare didn’t understand  himself.

"Listen," one guard said, "I know we have only just met-"

"No," the other guard said, "we've worked together for years!"

"-but you can trust me when I say-"

"I can't, you have the curse that's opposite from mine!"

"I don't care for you at all."

"Well, I… oh… I love you too."

🇺🇸recall of ALL zicam cold remedy nasal swabs, zicam nasal allclear swabs, and orajel baby teething swabs due to potentially life-threatening microbial contamination🇺🇸

all lots within expiration. it seems this contamination has been going on for a long time. and yes one of these is aimed at babies. awful.

two of these are swabs that go up your nose, and one is intended to relieve pain for teething babies.

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. is voluntarily recalling all lots within expiry of Zicam® Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, Zicam® Nasal AllClear Swabs, and Orajel™ Baby Teething Swabs to the consumer level. The products are being recalled due to potential microbial contamination identified as fungi in cotton swab components. Swabs found to contain microbial contamination can potentially present a significant risk to the health and safety of consumers including serious and life-threatening blood infections in users whose nasal mucosa may be compromised due to inflammation and mechanical injuries. The risk is highest (potentially severe or life-threatening) among children and individuals with compromised immune systems or other underlying medical conditions. To date, no serious adverse events associated with the affected product have been reported.  The recalled products were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Puerto Rico.

so, for fuck knows how long, the swabs have been contaminated with dangerous fungi. this recall announcement does not specifically name the type of fungi that contaminated the swabs, but they do say that it is bad enough to potentially be life-threatening. yikes!

now here is the complicated part. these are products advertised to sick people and babies, which are two groups at risk of randomly getting sicker. although there have been no reported serious adverse effects, note that they never said no adverse effects. if someone developed a life-threatening infection from these, it would probably be pretty fucking hard to link that illness or even death to a nasal swab. there is no telling if the samples taken of the contaminants will wind up being linked to someone's illness from months or years ago.

the nose and mouth are dangerous places to get infections, as the infections can travel to other parts of the body like the brain or heart and become deadly. this is part of why going to a dentist is so important, because infections in the mouth can kill someone who is otherwise healthy.

there have been many US news stories over the years of people who got contaminated water up their nose and wound up hospitalized or dead from infection, too. which is why you should never use tap water in a neti pot.

Recalled Product Information Zicam® Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, with UPC 732216301205, all lots: A zinc-free, homeopathic cold remedy swab designed to shorten the duration of the common cold. Zicam® Nasal AllClear Swabs, with UPC 732216301656, all lots: A nasal cleansing swab product (discontinued in December 2024). Orajel™ Baby Teething Swabs, with UPC 310310400002, all lots: Pre-moistened swabs designed to soothe teething discomfort in infants and toddlers.

ALL LOTS within expiration are being recalled. and the implication here is, this contamination may go back YEARS. they just do not have to take full responsibility for the contaminated products that have already expired.

Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products should stop using the product immediately. Please visit www.churchdwightrecall.com or call its Consumer Relations team at (800) 981-4710 for a full refund. Any additional questions can also be directed to its Consumer Relations team Monday through Friday, 9am – 5pm ET. Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax. 

stop using these products immediately and reach out to the company for a full refund. and if you have experienced any adverse reactions from these products, please report it to the FDA.
