Ahhh crap! The Shakespeare unit is coming up and the teacher is gonna make us read aloud. I can't take it!! If this is you, we are here to make all that shit easier. Every week we will tackle some text, debunk some BS and show you all the smut that your teachers can't talk about. Don't understand that weird word? It's probably a dick joke. We'll point all those out (pardon the pun... no, don't... there will be lots of those too). So join us and find out WTF other people are laughing about. Who knows? You might even get to laughing too.
