Q: What was the first time like for you? (Re: Shakespeare authorship of course)
Stephanie Caruana
premonition, feeling of joy or relief, that they didn't actually have
to believe the Stratman was the author. All Strats invited to reveal
when they realized that non-Strats were serious and growing in numbers,
and that Stratmobilization might be in order.

(1) A beautiful edition of the works of Shakespeare, bound in red
leather and printed on "Oxford India paper", which I received as prize
on my High School graduation in 1960.
(2) Seeing Richard Burton as Hamlet - and hearing Sir John Gielgud as
his Father's Ghost off-stage - in Boston during the academic year
1964-1965.
Who Was Shakespeare?
I couldn't care less! Until, that is, I began to research the question
as an incidental by-product of my encounter with the works of Francis
Bacon - especially The New Organon - in the course of my research in
the field of epistemology in the mid- and late 1970s.
Did I care?
Not a bit - but the question posed the kind of intellectual challenge,
which appealed to me much as doing crossword puzzles or playing
Scrabble may appeal to others.
Do I care?
Nor really - but we must give credit where credit is due.
Hence the imaginary Stratfordian "of record" - that is, the phantom
whose 'baptism' and 'burial' are documented in the purported copy of
never-seen original records of Holy Trinity Church - cannot possibly
have any part of the credit, except as Archetype for the Hamlet in us
all.
In the original Icelandic legend, Hamlet was named Amlóði - Fool - as
in the Human Condition into all of us are born and, if we are content
to let it be so, die.

In the spirit of your subject line, Stephanie, I'll endeavor to
describe my sensations: the earth moved, my breath came in choked,
spasmodic gasps, my eyes filled with tears, and I felt drained -- but
that's because I was laughing so hard: _This Star of England_ is such an
uproariously funny book! Incidentally, it is possible for sentimental
veterans like myself to relive the sensations of that magical first time

Anyone who would waste the time and energy to produce a ponderous
tome like _This Star of England_ or Delia Bacon's _The Philosophy of the
Plays of Shakespeare Unfolded_ is nothing if not serious -- indeed, the
deluded are generally quite serious.

That's scarcely news. The population is growing, so even if the
percentage of cranks is constant, their numbers will still increase.

Is the Stratmobile anything like the Batmobile? Oxfordians and

Since you are obviously not serious, does that necessarily mean you are

I'm damn glad they've never given me Art to debate; I feel sorry for

coming in handy for him, but I *NEVER* want to go toe-to-toe with

Hey, I finally got the check. Something about a computer virus in the

had to pay a late fee.
Sorry about that last e-mail appearing on the ng. Apparently I hit
"post" instead of "e-mail." It won't happen again.
My 14-year-old is giving me trouble--the usual ersatz teenage angst. He
doesn't want to accept his occupation being already chosen for him. I
told him it was like the Phantom--the ghost who walks--& that it was an
honor to be born into a family with a 400-year old mission, but he just
sulks off & gets on the computer. I'm sure he'll come around--we all
do, eventually.
Meanwhile all he does is play on the computer (he's a real whiz at

grandoise plan he has to "expose the truth to the world."
Yeah, right, that'll be the day, hey Bob?
Who do you think is going to get the old monument in April? Schoenbaum
had it for so long I think they almost completely forgot about it. I
vote for Matus--he deserves it. I've heard some say that Dave or Terry
should get it, but they're a little young yet, I think. I know damn
well it'll be years before I'm eligible, not to mention that whoever
gets it keeps it for life.
Say, before they ship it to whomever they give it to we should all
gather around it & have our picture taken & send it to Kennedy! I'd
want to pose atop the woolsack. Wouldn't that be a hoot! I bet the
old fart would think he was having the DTs! If a picture could be
printed with some type of disappearing ink that couldn't be copied it
would be worth it. Maybe he'd have a heart attack or something & we'd
be rid of that thorn in the side & make our jobs a lot easier.
Well, that's about it for now. Brenda says to tell the family "hi" &

I remember I was alone in my room,
enticing thoughts darting through my mind,
I sensed for the first time wicked feelings of
new pleasure--aroused, compelled to whip
out a list of questions for the Oxfordians
to i g n o r e.
In a frenzy of fingering keys and widestrewing
laser powder, I dashed out what became the
Oxfordian Frequently Unanswered Questions.
Delighted with a new toy, I tossed it into
the stream of consciousness that is HLAS.
Even though Oxfordians fantasized that they
had answered these otherwise simple questions,
OFUQ remain unanswered.
Crowley cannot make sense of how Oxford could
seek the patronage of Southhampton. Kositsky cannot
reason how Oxford University is simply not claiming
Shakespeare as an alumnus. Neuendorffer is full of
lore but no sense of how Oxford's secret writing and its
artificial consequences were still being protected twenty
years later in an entiely different regime. Hum ho.
These are not trick questions. These are fundamental
flaws in the Oxfordian 'belief system' that are openly
i g n o r e d by the Oxfordians. The big 0s are so obsessed
demeaning (S)omeone, that they i g n o r e that they
are braindead in terms of, say, common sense!
(Oxford did not seek patronage from the lesser earl.
Oxford University does not have Shakespeare as alumnus.
Condel and Heminge had no inclination to keep Oxford's 'secret.')
Oxfordianism is a kinky lifestyle indeed, and I like watching, Steph.
Great question, I took real pleasure in recalling
my first time exposing Oxfordianism for all see.

Have you seen Art's latest patronage claim, Greg? He even outdoes
Mr. Crowley! Art says that Oxford enjoyed the patronage of Sir Henry
Neville!

near Earth asteroid Itokawa (25143), at 01:00 UTC(10:00 JST) on
September 12th. Hayabusa performed a short chemical thruster burn
to slow its asteroid-relative speed by 7 centimeters per second
to settle into the Gate Position, defined at a distance
of 20 kilometers from Itokawa towards the Earth.
This press release contains the resulting synthesized pseudo-color
image and a series of rotation pictures of Itokawa. In the images,
sunlight illuminates the asteroid from behind the camera, making
the terrain features appear more subdued. Most of the key
images obtained by the mission to date are available on
the ISAS main web-site (http://www.isas.jaxa.jp).
Hayabusa will stay at the asteroid until the end of November & plans to
perform detailed remote sensing and mapping of the asteroid, followed
by an attempt to collect surface samples of Itokawa. The project
goals are then to return the sample back to Earth in 2007. Updated
information will be available at the JAXA & ISAS web-sites.>>
