So, out went the candle, and we were left darkling

King Lear references doing anything for ya? I tried to pitch a King Lear plot with the genders switched to my mother in the car on the way home from Montreal, but I don't think it took. Call me crazy, but I think King Lear is a winner. It's what all the kids are talking about these days.

Then, I prithee, be merry; thy wit shall ne'er go
slip-shod.
Ha, ha, ha!
Shalt see thy other daughter will use thee kindly;
for though she's as like this as a crab's like an
apple, yet I can tell what I can tell.
Why, what canst thou tell, my boy?
the middle on's face?
