the queen will be shot from a cannon
she has flowers taped to her helmet
her son is dawdling - again
potato head in tux with cummerbund
ahh, the irrelevant pomp of unqualified circumstance
long live the queen - i daresay
what will they do next - a silver anniversary
a commemoration commemorating a commemoration
a silver commemoration jubilee - diamond edition
with matching tea service and badminton raquette
signed by lord badminton himself
well i never! have you ever? quite

The British Monarchy... an institution. The Queen, an institution, long may she reign. She has almost beaten Victoria in the Royal Olympics. The regal snarl, grimace regina. Clever bit about shooting her from a cannon as a take on the spoof about her parachuting into the stadium. She deserves some credit for going along with that, -- that she doesn't take herself so seriously that she would not do it -- I mean of course pretend that she was being dropped from the helicopter. How much is she insured for?  |

Haha, I wasn't paying close attention and thought this was Chris' poem. Then I'm reading it and thinking "Has Chris lost his fucking mind?"...of course then I realized it was Dino and business as usual.  |

Would the early Athenians dare put on a spectacle, using mounds of sod, and Hell know what else between the blades of grass? They made Ken to look like W. C. Fields...he's one of the best Shak's around. Mutiny on a Lemon! Nice silver edition, here. To be, is to be above the sod, not trampling in goat turds.

We need a PIBster to go for a bronze. They dis'ed the Empire with sod n' manure n' turned Kenny into W.C.! Danny Bhoy slum-dogged here. Ridded the pastoral setting like royalty always does to the under classes. This ain't just another movie set. Too much was crammed. FUK hospital beds, give us more of my glorious England...the mugs!

poets were invited to the greek olympics
remember- chris is from liverpool and is a "scouser"
as a leftist i found the queen and especially her corgis charming- but i rather side with the sex pistols and the punk attitude abt dissing the queen (not sure this was their attitude) that the monarch is a blight and a waste of money in modern uk-
take the diamond jubilee- what a colossal waste of money that could have been used for better purposes

make it glorious but simple, and celebrate the athletes. damn near close to bankrupting countries with these extravaganzas .

They wheeled in the hospital beds but left out the chamber pots. For shame! Edgar Allan Poe, not especially known for his humor, is known to have punned on his name -- "po" for chamber pot.

Ugh, I hear you only have your choice of four toppings; crumpet, potato, chicken tikka masala or Yorkshire pudding, pizza.
