I kinda' with Garg.....especially on the Cliff notes. All through school we had to read and analyze his works and go see live renditions when available. As far as those live performances go, it depends on where you are I think. Take "Hamlet" for instance. Following a live performance of the famous soliloquy my friend Guy Pirrello sitting at the end of the aisle was obviously enthralled as he piped up, "Fockin' A well told Man." This actually stopped the performance for a bit............

The comedian Blake Clark talks about a rural Georgia translation where "To be or not to be" translated into native Georgia Crackerese is "I dunno' whether to shit or wipe."
