That was terrible. When did the Onion start letting people do serious Op-Eds with gastly wordplay as a patina f comedy over them?
Or am I missing something, and the very existence of the column is a meta-comment on whether or not Krugman's argument can possibly be serious?
It's the onion, odds are its a meta riff on Krugman, I doubt he had anything to do with it.
I've always wondered what the sound of a gun that shoots swords would be

I'm going to do a production of a Shakespeare play
and set it in the Elizabethean era
I know that Shakespeare plays are supposed to be set in a hippy commune, or during world war II, or modern times, or a surreal mishmash of different eras, but I think my idea is just crazy enough to work

Why is Titus Andronicus considered Shakespeare's worst play when it is clearly awesome? Are Shakespeare lovers prissy prudes who can't handle too much ultraviolence? Is the movie just so awesome that it hides the plays terribleness? Am I uncultured swine who doesn't understand shakespeare at all?

Now I am wondering if longswords or rapiers were the blade of choice when Shakespeare was writing.
England was kind of backwards ass in not adapting the rapier as fast as some other places.
He mentions longswords directly a few times in various plays. Then again, he was not known for being time-correct, what with the clocks in the Roman Empire and shiz. So maybe he was being retro.

Was Hamlet 2 any good/funny? I kinda wanted to see it, but never did.
It was the kind of funny where people who normally don't think things are funny slop praise all over it. It's ok, not great.

One of the best Shakespeare adaptations I've ever seen was Ian McKellan and Judy Dench in Macbeth (directed by Trevor Nun). The set was completely minimalist and it was the performances that just really stood out (It was more or less a filmed version of the RSC's 1976 stage production).

Well the trick is that during the time like, they didn't call a rapier a rapier, they called it a sword, because it was the type of sword people were wearing at the time. And the rapier is a long sword... so...who knows! I'm sure someone does but that sounds like a lot of googling.

To be fair, until today I just thought Titus Andronicus was a band.

Look, all I know is that when Capulet is in his helicopter, he calls for his longsword. He also calls his wife a ho' though, so perhaps we shouldn't listen too closely to what he says.

I can't tell if this is a serious question. When would I go to the Stratford festival I'm poor and surround myself with the uncultured.

Wasn't the names of swords pretty different when they were used by people and not just historians

Reach and speed. While the longswords tended to be the same length, lunging doesn't work nearly as well.
ahem, whoops
My first thought was, "Wow, he is old."
I did not stop to consider whether or not they had filming equipment in the 16th century.
I don't know. There is precedent. I mean, look at Sean Connery.
