We never called him "Shax" -- his proper nickname is "Billy Bob." We used to sit around the tavern near The Globe or The Rose and drink beer; Billy Bob usually got a snootfull and tried to quote himself. You should have heard him trying to say, "If it were done when 'tis done then 'twere well it were done quickly" followed by "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" when he could hardly stand up.
