The strains that seem to be around now are a hell of a lot stronger than the blackash and rocky that we used to smoke.I had some skunk a couple of years ago and it completely blew me away.

Altalt: yes. Lunch. Christmas party today so something substantial methinks.

I can't roll, so when I'm left to my own devices I smoke a pipe.I got mullered one night and ended up watching Rupaul's Drag Race (Next Top Model but with drag queens. I had a hard time grasping if it was real or not.

preciselyI also hate it when people pluralise 'referendum' as 'referenda'. Didn't these ghastly types do classics at school?

The wiki page for "The lady doth protest too much, methinks"claims it means "I think the lady is promising too much." Suggesting you are wrong and that when people have used the phrase "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" on b3ta they are wrong.

it means 'it seems to me'So 'methinks the lady doth protest too much' means 'it seems to me that her protestations are suspiciously vociferous'.
You wouldn't say 'I am going to have a large lunch it seems to me'.

I just told you that "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" means "I think the lady is promising too much."
The phrase's actual meaning is, "I think the lady is promising too much." In the play, Hamlet's father has died, and his father's ghost has told Hamlet that he has been murdered (by Claudius). Hamlet has arranged a play for his mother, Gertude, and his uncle and stepfather, King Claudius, to watch: "The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king." Hamlet wants to see if Claudius squirms or sweats at the point in the play where the woman's husband is murdered by her lover (or future lover). If so, he will have some evidence that Claudius killed his father. Hamlet arranges for the woman in the play to promise ("protest") to her husband that if he dies, she will never remarry. At this point, Hamlet asks his mother how she likes the play so far, and Gertrude famously replies, "The lady protests too much, methinks." Gertrude is protecting her own conscience about having married Hamlet's uncle after his father died. Hamlet replies, "O, but she'll keep her word." Pointing out that his mother has not lived up to the standard of the woman in the play.
If you think it means 'it seems to me that her protestations are suspiciously vociferous'. then you are wrong, on the Internet. Anyway argue with Shakespeare not me.
