Because Shakespeare's the good crack, baby.

List your top five Shakespeare plays, no particular order, and then your all-time hated one. You may *not* add a couple of sentences on why. Keep it as an ambiguous list. And it may be less than five if it's not your bag.

Top 5
1. Hamlet
2. Coriolanus
3. Richard III
4. Titus Andronicus
5. King Lear

Public Enemy #1
As You Like It

Yeah, I know.

But that's kind of why it's a cool meme.

Although I for one have no problem with doing an addendum-to-the-meme post to talk about the whys and wherefores.

(I probably should why I hate As You Like It with a fiery passion.)
