That's Elmo's World

So. There is a Hamlet reference in an episode of Elmo's World in which the classic character "Kingfish" signs off at the end of the episode by saying "[a]dieu. Remember me."

Just like King Hamlet! The old Ghost-King from Act 1!

That makes it all worth it.

Literature does have a fundamentally essential place in this world.

It will help you in a very tangible and quantifiable way.

In the real world as opposed to the fake one.

Because let's be clear. If you didn't catch that reference (in the biz, we call that an allusion, young gentle reader) then surely you would fail to grasp the intricacies of that final moment in that one episode starring that one furry red puppet-monster.

And we wouldn't want that. That's what we're about here. Saving you. One totally random allusion at a time.
