HM Queen is a total badass. She's just the best head of state anyone could ever hope for. Corgis obey her every command. President Bush is the most powerful man in the world and yet even he trembles in humility in the Presence. She is so badass she doesn't even demand the flag be at half mast in the event of her death. I hope that never happens, but unfortunately it eventually will happen. I hope we have at least at least 10 good years, hopefully 15 years, left of her reign. She is a fantastic!

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen.
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.

Uh, Glom? Language? (No argument, otherwise. She seems pretty cool. Or at least not inbred. )

Maybe we shoulda asked her for some advice before throwing in the towel and giving away our corgi. Obey she did not. Well she did until she got bored.
Smart + bored = bad, very bad, things.

i thought this was gonna be about a Sex Pistols song, and not some royal figurehead.

Yup. Gotta love that Helen Mirren. (Even for that cosmonaut role she had in 2010.)

You've to admire her longevity. For example, she's been visiting the US since 1776 (according to the current president).

I'm glad you have her, Glom. Just keep her, please.

Though with the BBC thing, I think you have to take into consideration the fact that both the queen and the BBC are organs of the British state, in a sense. She's the head of state, and they are the official media. If Voice of America did something criticizing GWB in the US, you can be sure that heads would roll.

Funny, when I read Glom's OP, the voice in my head doing the verbalization was that of Victor McLaglen, as he and John Wayne, having finished their epic battle and taken relief in Cohan's pub, becoming friends out of mutual respect (and totally wasted), ventured into White O'Mornin, and Victor announced to Maureen O'Hara "God bless all in this house!"

Looking at the HOUR this was posted and the contents of it, somebody will have a headache and a surprised look on his face when he wakes up.

So 777 Geek, how was the party?

That was on the late show last week!

In my whole life I've only ever been in one fight like that. My face swelled so badly that for days when I moved my head too fast my face bobbed and swayed like a "bosom". It was declared a draw for chutzpah reasons. (In twelve rounds the guy I was fighting hit me in the face 120+ times but he couldn't knock me down or out.) I was fighting a golden gloves who weighed 60 pounds less than I did. This was a smoker's match at sea and all the regularly scheduled bouts had finished but everybody was still up for more. Nobody his weight wanted to fight him so I volunteered and the ship's doc okayed it. The thing was he kept trying for the knock out blow and not realizing I was dreading the body shots. Early on he nailed me in the liver and that almost ended there. Another one would have finished me. Even he was impressed at the beating I took.

But congratulations on having dedicately posted genuine, lifelike drunk blabla as if we were standing next to you in a bar. Not often does this phenomenon get so well documented. This is a gem for the antropologists/historiancs around here
