Subject: RE: BS: Brucie's State of the Onion Address
Friends, Brucie, mudcatters, lend me your ears; I come to bury Onions, not to praise them. The onions in mens mouths do live after them; The aroma is oft emitted with their bones; So let it be with Onions. The noble Brucie Hath told you Onions are delicious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath the onion answer'd it. Here, under leave of Brucie will digest- For Brucie is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men - Come I to speak at the Onion's baking. it was my lunch, bitter and sharp to me: But Brucie says he was delicious; And Brucie is an honourable man. He hath brought many mudcatters in to roam Whose rantings did the cyber coffers fill: Did this poor Onion seem delicious? When that the poor have cried, Onions hath wept: Digestion should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brucie says he was delicious; And Brucie is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brucie spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love onions once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for them? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the baking dish there with onions, And I must pause till it come back to me...
