Re: little ham, perhaps you're thinking of Mickey Rooney? Actors are the only little hams with speaking parts.
Hamlets are little villages; while they are said to speak with one voice regarding the characteristics of the villagers, it would be more a Greek Chorus than a singular voice. I wouldn't Pooh-pooh your little ham, though. Possibly you were thinking of a piglet? It would never do, to go into the mathematics of Horatios in a genteel forum, of course. |

A Ham-let was a Danish prince, that means a full Ham was a Danish King.
Not to be confused with English Hamlets, which are small Hamms, full Hamms, like Peckham, Cheltenham, Birmingham, Tottenham, West/East Ham, Streatham, Eltham, take up more room. We have a Ham near me that is just named 'Ham'. Not far from Berkeey Castle on the river Severn*. There is another full Hamm named, er, Fulham'. Piglets are Danish Bacon Seeds. Hope that clarifies things. p.s. - Horatios are higher in dedicated areas like the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. Best not to go there though. *- I'm still looking for the River Eightn. We have a River Avon not too far away. Silly, Avon means river, so it's really the River River. The river Styx is, i think somewhere in Grease.

Styx were not in Grease, it was Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta

Didn't Olivia Newton-John discover gravity when a koala fell out of its tree and landed on John Travolta?

I liked the digressions very much: they were not only funny, but full of useful additions to the noble game of cockfighting.
And I never knew that Shakespeare hailed from Stratford-on- River:-) What language is the word "Avon" from? BTW, are animal-loving Australians and Indonesians going to ban human cagefighting? Or ice hockey, that is a charming mix of cagefighting and figure skating? Don't ban me, please!!! |
