Pat Oliphant for April 28, 2011

Weddings happen every day. I don’t watch those either.

At least we have more than one TV in the house.

Of course, Oliphant was born in the British Commonwealth (Adelaide, Australia) and has since become an American citizen, so I can imagine his feelings on this…

No thanks, I have to go watch some paint dry.

Don’t think all girls daydream about that! I don’t.

No offense Willy, but you’ll be England’s king, not Canada’s.

I have BBC programmed to start at 2am. I’ll catch up when I get up.

“at zero dark thirty” – great phrase

His likeness will still be on your currency, Froggie, and he’ll be your head of state one day.

Vive la révolution!

The last time I got up at 5:00 am to watch the “future king and queen of England” get married the couple ended up divorced and the bride ended up dead. I think I’ll sleep thru this one.

Get a life

I cannot stand royal weddings Nor even royal divorces And queens and princes, to my mind Are farces, all these forces

Most bitter-tasting type of tea Is royalty (Nobility Is slightly less regrettable Although it’s quite inedible They give a lad the belly-ache With all their smug, “Let them eat cake!”)

Therefore I’ll be a cur and cad And NOT say “Will, you lucky lad!” Nor “Kate, you’re lovely in your finery And welcome to the royal family”

In fact my very fervent wish Is for the British to abolish Their obsolescent monarchy Toss it in the Thames or sea! And on that happy day we’ll see Them join the 18th century

My sentiments exactly.

I’m with Wolfie.

pirate, even most of english canadians (a pretty small minority, though) are against keeping the monarchy as of 2010

IMHO, and I think this is what will happen if queen Elizabeth dies while the NDP or the Liberals are in power, there should be a Canada-wide referendum on the monarchy before Charles or William’s coronation.

i love state funerals

“i love state funerals”

With the way way the paparazzi go at it, I’m sure you’ll be watching Kate’s before long.

from friday early morning till now, people are going crazy about 2 rich kids getting married. a millionaire’s daughter to a taypayer funded billionaire’s son.

Oh Dark 30, time for PT!
