You have to be more specific than that; I'm not looking for the Shakespeare play, but rather the popular culture source of that specific misquotation of the Seven Ages of Man monologue from As You Like It.

So I'm keeping my cookie for the being.

More like Netherlands after losing the RL WC to Spain in extra time. I dislike Man U intensely, and was therefore happy to see Barca win.

Plus, we only lost 1-0. :)
