Topic: Uppity Queen

[Rocking-M]

I've just decided that I will not go see the Queen.

We've been told we can not bring our Lawn Chairs and coolers to the event.
Talk about taking all the fun out of an occasion!

[tsflstb]

Probably no lighters or chanting "Free Bird" either...who does she think she is?

I have a feeling she thinks she is the Queen and Monarch of the U.K. That kind of position could go to your head.

[CrisPDuk]

I saw the title and thought Elton John had hit the headlines again

Rocking M I demand that you show some respect sir

You should be grateful that the Head of State of the greatest country on earth is deigning to spend time visiting your tin-pot little banana republic

We sorted that out in 1776. If I have to go see a British Queen I would rather see Elton John.

[CrisPDuk]

Yeah, and look at where it's got you, doing a bang up job of picking your own leaders aren't you



BTW, I've seen both

Elton John is overated

[mrblasty]

The jokes on us, we don't pick our leader the whole system is rigged

[Rocking-M]

I don't really care for either Queens. Though once upon a time Elton did
a few good songs.

Ya know, it's probably funny how our two nations see it differently.  In America, the Revolutionary War is seen as a victory for freedom and rights and the birth of a new nation.  To England it most likely was "A bunch of ungrateful little punks starting sh*t".

 

[Rushoid]

She's going to be here for the Derby on Saturday. I'd like to see them try to keep lawnchairs, coolers, booze, etc. out of the infield! I wonder if she'll be looking at the drunks and topless girls through a nice set of opera glasses? 

[CrisPDuk]

Even if she isn't, I  bet Phil will be

That would be an interesting thread: Where would North America be today if Independence had not happened? Would the whole continent be one huge Canadian-ish place, inhabited by people who are good hearted, don't believe in making waves, internationally keep themselves to themselves, make great peacekeepers, have no international 'brand name' companies, have more than one official language............

Probably not, as there would be no power-hungry, capitalist warmongering superpower keeping invaders off the continent. Canada can chalk up it's safeness, likely to a  large degree, to it's shameless #$%* cousins to the south. (Me being one of those shameless #$%* cousins).

I think you are absolutely right. Whether that's a good thing is also open to discussion.

If it weren't us, it would have to be the Canadians taking care of themselves in that respect. Which means, they would have to become what the US became, more or less. Or become/stay a territory of another country.

Ooops, too late, sorry.

[74cb750]

Now wait just a darn minute here..
Wasn't the Queen pelted with rotten tomatoes last time she
visited Quebec?
 

[holysmokes]

maybe we in Canada should cut off our oil supply to the US, or our water, lumber,electricity

we allow Busgh to come here and strut around, and he was used with respect

Hey man, what's with the negative waves man?  You're totally harshing on my buzz here man.

[mlinder]

Seriously harshin' my mellow..

I don't see what your exports have to do with it. Your country is paid pretty well for all that stuff, and we keep you protected for free, more or less, just by virtue of you sharing some 5k miles of border with us.

[Rocking-M]

Stop sending your lumber, it would help my business considerable

[CrisPDuk]

Blimey I thought we English knew how to pick a fight with a neighbour over nothing We've got nothing on you boys

Back to the original subject, I suspect if asked, Her Britannic Majesty would actually inform you that she really couldn't give a toss whether you brought your chairs and coolers, so long as you were happy
Most of this sort of bullsh!t emanates from the jobsworths organising whatever function she's attending and in this case that'll be your fellow septics

[firecracker]

Speaking of neighbors, what do you think of your neighbors to the North?  Going to break away from the UK, or not?

*Side note - Break Away from the UK    Sounds like a Sex Pistols tune...

We are lucky to Canada as a neighbor. It is a safe border. We get our best comedians from there. Would you guys send more gas please.

Yeah, and any more of these


Or these that you may have,


Please send them our way.

The English 5/8 of me says cut them loose, they're nothing but a bunch of whinging gits
The Scottish 1/8 of me says the sooner we're free of them soft southern ponces the better

The Irish 1/4 of me says, let's just sit down with a nice pint of Guinness at which point the scot in me pipes up to point out that it most definitely isn't our round


Does that answer your question firecracker
 

[upperlake04]

She's all yours Gordon 

[Gordon]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo_ooooooo!!!!

Make it go away!!!!

[CrisPDuk]

Ooooohh That's harsh

[firecracker]

Does that answer your question firecracker
 

Pretty much...   


My Scottish 1/2 says "who needs 'em?!?

My Irish 1/2 says "Yeah, same here!"

My All-American-self says "Uh... whatever, I'm watching TV right now..."

 

[eldar]

ok you canadians can keep your goofy talking singers! We want hotties and beer!

[upperlake04]

Sorry - she is a gift - the rest we socialists only share amongst ourselves 

[eldar]

Oh well see!  If anything at least you get more winter than we do! At least you are not evil like the dutch! You ahve to refer to the 3rd austin powers
