 The
Classics According to Ruin'dHens
- Let's face it, a good number of
people find dealing with the classics tedious, bland, confusing,
and sometimes just plain boring. Since we have such a love of
the classics in every imaginable form we thought we'd take a
refreshing approach to them, colour them up a bit. The classics
according to our rather wharped but well-meaning minds. To celebrate
them, if you will! Who knows, by the time we're done you may
find yourself wanting to read them for the first time or to just
revisit them!
May we
have mercy on the masters. And may the masters have mercy on
us! -- Ah-men
The Classics Decomposed Welcomes you all to the NEW MILLENIUM!
Okay, so we've been gone for a few years, leading our busy lives.
In that time Bubba the President has come and gone and in his place
we have a new Bubba George to watch over our trembling souls.
We're going to try our best to catch up and update and bring you new stuff!
Hopefully before the next Millenium!
Bill
the Cat is the (un)official Patron Saint of the CD website! And
he's on loan too.

- The Bard meets Dr. Seuss' The
Cat in the Hat!

If 'The Cat in the
Hat' were to meet Hamlet what would they possible have to say
to one another? Dine on green eggs and ham in some small cafe
outside of Elsinore, perhaps? The Bard most definitely meets
the Doctor! |

What do bears have to do with literature? Chekhov wrote a play
called The Bear.
Bears have been known to be so enchanted by literature that they
rarely return their library books. So, let your hair down and
go see some bears, the stuffed mohair breed, that is.
