Lear wishes to quantify and multiply everything he loves. "Let's have a party," Lear asserts, and pretty soon it's happening. When you're as rich and royal as Lear you have to watch out because everyone will be trying to take advantage of you pretty soon.
Lear defeats this in two manners:
1. By hiding his wealth in the cave or in the ugly doll the Fool owns.
2. By pretending he isn't that rich even when its embarrassing to do that. (For example, asking people if he can borrow their horses because he is too poor to have any, etc. In this way he also really does save money making him even more rich, also doing this impoverishes his friends slightly also increasing his relative wealth.)
It is lonely in Lear Castle and to make himself feel happy about it he uses his daughters and the Fool and makes or lets Kent come over. Lear gives things away in exchange for thank yous and generally plays the big man. Lear can never escape the crown that sits all around his brows to make him think very hard about responsibility and "What It Might Really Mean To Be The King". When there's no answer there's no problem. If Lear even thinks about what other people could be King it could make him sad or ragingly angered.

Interview with Mark Bruno: Yacht Club Stripper Part II
--PART II--
L: Tell me more about the dances.
Bruno: Anyways, while they're sitting there, myself, and this other sex worker (we're on our hands and knees the whole time) we have to keep these old guys going-- keep them awake, so they can get back in the waltz. So we suck 'em off, jack 'em off, whatever.
The waltz is supposed to go all night. As soon as the sun comes up, they all get on this huge yacht.
L: This interview is going to be used for Tisher and Adam's BLOG!

With a little foresight...
Sing a song to your pets at night. When you grow older and start to depend on them, they'll remember those kind songs you sang them and treat you like a king. With just a little foresight...

Krazy A's UPDATE
To All Restauarant Goers:
Are you tired of THIS happening?: You are sitting comfortably at a restaurant eating and drinking leisurley, enjoying a relaxing meal, and meanwhile your waiter is running to and fro, fetching this and that, scrambling about as beads of sweat drip down his forehead and into your drinks?
So are WE!
That's why you no longer have to feel awkward being waited on, because at Krazy A's Bistro our waiters eat and drink WITH you!
That's right, we eat and drink while YOU eat and drink. Watch as a member of our experienced waitstaff strolls leisurely up to your table, greets you with a pleasant smile and takes your drink order. Watch as he returns to the table, passes out your drinks, and then takes one for himself! Our waiters will stand by at your table to finish his drink. This is our way of saying, "Hey, we're having a good time, too!"
When the meal comes, no more having to hide your pasta alfredo from your waiter's greedy eyes. He'll be munching on his own piece of Krazy Toast! We give our waiters a hefty helping of Krazy Toast each day, so when you are getting your meal, they'll be getting theirs!
And hey, they'll even pick up the check...EVERYTIME!
So come to Krazy A's Bistro, where our waiters eat and drink with you and even pick up the check...EVERYTIME!
