Hey everyone -
Sorry this isn't totally a word post, but I'm about to go totally sane. (Yes, sane, I'm already crazy.) I have either forgotten the source of, or totally imagined the existance of, a quote; to make matters worse, I don't even know all the words. BUT! the general idea of it is: "Alas - so much for [name]!" I think that it's from Shakespeare, but seriously, I have no idea. Can anybody help me?

We won't expel you!

You must have heard, not read this, since the exact quote is:

A lass! So much for George Jorgensen.

From the press release concerning the first sex change operation.

A lass! So much for George Jorgensen.

Perhaps the line you are trying to recall, gonoldothrond, is:

”Alas, poor Yoric! I knew him, Horatio.” - Hamlet

Are you thinking of "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him well"
