Well done, mate! We've got some learned folks here on Jalopnik. Not that I'm surprised. That's just another of many reasons I'm addicted to this place.

I was a Communications major in undergrad, so I didn't have to memorize Shakespeare. Probably the closest I come is memorizing Strange Brew which borrowed heavily from Hamlet or Rozencranz and Gildenstern Are Dead, however you want to look at it.

Bob: Geez, there's a lot of arrows, eh? Elsinore Castle, Elsinore Brewery, Royal Canadian Institute for the Criminally Insane. Hey, that's the looney bin, eh? Where should we go, looney bin or brewery?

Doug: I'm taking you to the looney bin, then I'm going to the brewery.

Bob: Take off! Go to the brewery!

Doug: OK, but then I'm taking you to the looney bin.

@Novaload: I kinda got tired of the whole Pope scene, so I've applied for God status. I'm expecting my certificate in the mail.

Maybe one day I'll have my own TV show... POLAЯZ HEЯOEZ!!1!

That's gotta be Deathair on the right, you know those Popes
and their funny hats! Charles is the big guy next to me, but
Braff on the left there Photo Shopped Chuck into a large black
man. And then there's Novaload, sitting at the table wondering
how the hell he got lumped in with this sorry bunch of arseholes!

@JUST POLAЯ: So you have given up the popeness to Dearthair?

I am deeply flattered to be one of your heroes. I admire and respect your level and type of insanity. And I haven't seen a picture of you but, unlike Charles, I don't think I want to make out with you.

As for Braff--the only poster who ever posted feces on a national flag plus a child plus a near-infinite black hole--all in ONE post--on Jalop and got away with it!

@Pope Dearthair the Awesometh: That was a triple awesome highbrow lowbrow serious funny deep adaptation of genius. Well played indeed.

I'm sure that even though Jalop set up the Shakespeare themed Camino post like a rigged bowling pin at a carnival, they never imagined a comment like that coming back at them.

@charles_barrett: There is a life force that shines down on this website of idiosyncratic car folk that course through the veins of auto addict fodder everyday. That life force consists of a band of commenter heavyweights who carry this place on their backs, and the Jalopnik headquarters brass know who they are, and you damn well better know you're one of them.

Goodnight, I'm going upstairs to snuggle with Mr.Sniffles, my teddy.
I need my beauty sleep if I'm going to have to show up here tomorrow and do some more heavy lifting.

-simply epic. You have my undying respect, dearth.

That may be one of the Top 10 COTDs of All the JalopTestament.

->Now watch Polar, who should either be writing his own award-winning blog or be employed as 2nd editor-in-chief of any car blog, start whining that he didn't win today's COTD.

Honestly, I thought I'd heard it All at Jellied Sparrow Tonges, Cheetahs, Absinthe and 15th Century French Porn.

@Maymar: Especially frustrating, isn't it, since Matt put so much effort into crafting his Julius Caeser riff, laying the groundwork for a clever Jalop to retort in-kind with another similar reference... ah, well, to the victor belongs the spoils...

@mechimike: At least we try and get the finest kegs of beer to haul in our El Caminos and Rancheros.

@charles_barrett: I wanted to try something from the Merchant of Venice, but I was beat to it. That, and I never read it, and didn't pay much attention in English class to begin with.

Gee whiz... and all I could muster from Shakespeare (to attempt to remain en pointe) was "Out, out damned spot"... My prep school sophomore English lit teacher would be SO disappointed in me. 'Tis a small mercy he is now in a better place and (probably) not following Jalopnik...

Kudos and bravo DEARTHAIR...! Well-played indeed...!

And that, dear compatriots, is why I love Jalopnik. Intellectualism mixed with automotive geekery.

Well, 2 out of three ain't bad.

So THAT is what it takes to get a COTD. Good lord that was a lot of work. I'm frightened of the level of effort required to earn a star.

But hey! I got a James Bond poster too! Talk about the icing on the cake.

Now where's my Aston Martin?

OK, now my comment about deflowering a Vatican choir virgin in the backseat of the Popemobile just seems lame and sophomoric.

Apologies all around, and a hearty "well done" to our well-read awesometh Canadian Pope.
