The groundlings. What are groundlings. Redneck is definitely a candidate for a groundling. If not a true blooded one. Redneck probably surmises that a groundling is either a mole or someone that is involved with the ground at Twickers, Loftus or Kings Park. Saffex is also a possible groundling. Spooner is definitely one as well. Mozart is not a groundling…neither is Beeno and old Maaik. Sasue is not either…it would be impossible for him to be one. Most Australians were probably descendants of groundlings. Boklogic or Sharkbok are too complex to fathom out but I suspect Boklogic could be one, The Nuke is impossible to determine because his descendants could have come to the ones that loved menu’s with ala human on them or he could have been an escapee from Chernobyl. I could go on and on but I’ve said enough…this is a riddle…can any tell me the solution. PS For Saffex…no Mary Jane involved here…just a puzzle for the more intelligent.
A riddle for Mozzart and Beeno
Sebastian good manners dictate that I respond, but I don't have a clue.....other than for every case but mine the groundlings may be immigrants, the non groundlings not. But mostly I'm just concerned by being in a group with Oom Maaik
I like that I have been seen as too complex to fathom. I did read this post and could not make heads or tails of it.
I am 50 percent Cape Colored and 50 percent Afrikaner. WP supporter all my life. We don't live where we shit eg Kings Park, Loftus, Twickers.....
Seb the following is what a groundling is.
A groundling was a person who frequented the Globe Theatre in the early 17th century and was too poor to pay to be able to sit on one of the three levels of the theatre. By paying one penny, they could stand in "the pit", also called "the yard", just below the stage to watch the play. Standing in the pit was uncomfortable, and people were usually packed in tightly. The groundlings were commoners who were also referred to as stinkards or penny-stinkers. The name 'groundlings' came about after Hamlet referenced them as such when the play was first performed around 1600. At the time, the word had entered the English language to mean a small type of fish with a gaping mouth - this becomes pertinent when we realise that from the vantage point of the actor playing Hamlet, set on a stage raised around 5 feet from the ground, the sea of upturned faces may indeed have registered as something akin to wide-mouthed fish. Those who had paid to sit in the raised galleries would also have shared in this image, which clearly became popular enough to stick until this day.[1] They were known to misbehave and are commonly believed to have thrown food such as fruit and nuts at characters they did not like, although there is no evidence of this. They would watch the plays from the cramped pits with sometimes over 500 people standing there.
Certain key phrases here clearly identify ou rooitwit and also CC as groundlings:

1. uncultured person: somebody disdained for having little or no appreciation of culture
2. biology animal or plant living near ground: an animal or plant that lives on or near the ground, or at the bottom of a river, lake, or the sea
3. theater standing spectator: in Elizabethan England, an audience member standing in front of the stage in the cheapest part of the theater
4. aviation worker in ground crew: a member of the ground crew at an airport or air force base (slang)
Good answer Beeno…now can you see the similarities. In modern day terms the peanut gallery.
Loud mouths given to profanities.
Saffex would have been one…the ring leader…the shit stirrer…the rebel rouser?
The rest is self explanatory.
Beeno would have been an actor…a comedian…a court jester lent by the royalty to participate in Uncle William’s comedies. He would have been a victim of the groundlings who would hurl abuse and base comments at him, followed by rotten eggs, apples, tomatoes from the farm where Saffex was engaged as a serf.
Mike would have been the theatre/stage manager who collected the revenue…his job was also involved in trying to keep order…an impossible task.
Mozart being of more artistic taste…probably a musician, would have been patronized by Elizabeth 1…he had other unmentionable duties but nevertheless it found favour with the royalty…especially Her Royal Majesty,therefore he was on the fringes and did not frequent the floor allocated to the groundlings.
Redneck would be the chief stinker…farting regularly from the spiced stews (not sure if jalapeno had reached the shores of the fair isle then) but there would have similar ingredient.
The groundlings never understood the plays and Uncle William understood this…so in order to keep attention to his plays he added a bit of base humour…i.e.
What manner o' thing is your crocodile?

It is shaped, sir, like itself; and it is as broad
as it hath breadth: it is just so high as it is,
and moves with its own organs: it lives by that
which nourisheth it; and the elements once out of
it, it transmigrates.
MARK ANTONY
Saffex would tell the groundlings…you stupid pr…k…there would have vulgar roars of guffawing.
This was the only thing they understood.
Seb as long as I woud not be ou rooinek I can handle it.
Shit stirrer? Ain't that a troll?
