I watched Kathy Griffin's recap of the royal wedding, does that count? Her insight on what took place really made the wedding very amusing!

Darin Wade 2 years, 12 months ago

I watched to see the traditional europa texture of textile wedding adornment I wonder if Allanna Curry designed it.

grandnanny 2 years, 12 months ago

I didn't watch any of the lead-up to the wedding but was awake this morning so watched for an hour. Then I went back to bed and haven't watched tv this morning. It was a nice wedding - dress was beautiful. Hats were a hoot - nice to see people dressed up for a wedding.

"it emerged that Kate Middleton will not promise to obey Prince William in her marriage vows."

Well good for her, a modern woman who does not accept the values of the royalty! I personally applaud her decision but see her kicked to the curb when child bearing is complete. Long Live The Queen!!

RoeDapple 2 years, 12 months ago

Well I DON"T have to work so you can all watch it here, as long as you keep the volume and cheering down so as not to wake the Queen. And don't make me watch it too. Will pancakes do? If regular sleepwear is acceptable, get ready for a gross-out. Those pancakes may not stay down.

Actually, if it wasn't a Friday morning (or if I didn't have to work), I'd invite you all over for a watch party! You bring the champagne. I'll make waffles. Everyone wear their PJs. Pillow fight optional but the tiara is not....

Multidisciplinary 2 years, 12 months ago

I had something always poking me in the seat and after around 350,000 miles I traded it off, but we'd forgotten what each other looked like long ago. My knee replacements are just fine, thank you very much.

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

Splendid, Ret! I almost swallowed my grizzly snuff. Alright, I'm out of the loop. What in the hell is Sporting KC? I sometimes used to snort powder off of a KC and the Sunshine Band album. I mostly ignore sports this time of year. Gotta save it up for NASCAR. That Danica Patrick has a heart like a freakin' wheel!

Flap Doodle 2 years, 12 months ago

The lemurs will be recreating this event at the next BuskerFest. Right now they're having a Scrabble tournament, the winner gets to be Kate.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 2 years, 12 months ago

Hollis, It's just your basic everyday community standards litmus test. You can use it to find out if anything is dirty or not.

For instance: oropharynx. Seems innocent enough.

Now the test.... My name is Buck, and I will fornicate your oropharynx.

See, oropharynx is a dirty word.

Benny Hill is going to watch with the band barenaked ladies as he sings Good God!

"Does Ford still make the Tragus?"

I had a Ford Tragus. Something in the seat . . . was always poking me in the seat!

After around 350,000 miles I traded it off. I miss that . . . car. sob

The_Original_Bob 2 years, 12 months ago

"So which team are the Royals merging with? Do they intend to stay in KC? "

Sporting KC. They'll be playing Soccerbaseball (also known as kickball in Canada.) Instead of using their feet to kick the ball, they will use wooden bats to move the ball. The new team name will be the Kansas City Royal Sporting Woods.

Multidisciplinary 2 years, 12 months ago

g-rock. Add in when every they mention the something about the dress. Designer, material, whatever. What's the best snack for this, cheezy poofs or taco flavor Doritos? (Anyone else just melt seeing those taco flavor bags back on the shelf again? No idea WHY they ever thought to make all those other goofy flavors, when they had perfection all along.) OH OH...dang, I forgot how good chocolate milk goes with those until just now. Drats. That's a perfect breakfast, I don't care whose mom disagrees. ;)

"My name is Buck, and I will fornicate your tragus."

I think there once was a man from Nantucket who did stuff like that.

EMERGENCY RESCUE FOR KITTY NEEDED !!!!! http://www2.ljworld.com/weblogs/multidisciplinary/2011/apr/27/emergency-rescue-for-kitty-needed/

Kicking this on the OTS so more will see it. Clocks a tickin.....

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

See? I told you babboy is a nice guy, even if he won't admit it. I'm trying to stay in third tense , babboy, so you don't have to respond.

autie 2 years, 12 months ago

I'm planning to have my tragus pierced. I didn't even know I had a tragus....then I find out I have two of them. damn the luck.

autie 2 years, 12 months ago

that Diana was a looker too.....not that Kate is unpleasant to gaze upon.

sr80 2 years, 12 months ago

Leave the Mercedes at home and cruise in the Bentley !! It is a more CRASH worthy car !

RoeDapple 2 years, 12 months ago

Will this "commoner" be cast aside once she has produced offspring fit to rule? I miss Diana, she gave class to the royal snobbery.

jjt 2 years, 12 months ago

He probably will not be king until he is 70. She is quite a looker, try Googling Kate Middleton yellow Bikini and the guys will understand what I mean. The important thing about the wedding is that there will be no trouble, and no one gets hurt. The girl got her Prince good luck to them they will need it.

The_Original_Bob 2 years, 12 months ago

"Shewmon"

He's long gone.

Are there any planned wardrobe malfuntions in the works? Then I might watch it or record it so I could fast forward to the MALFUNCTION.... he he !

I think they call it "shagging" over there

RoeDapple 2 years, 12 months ago

I knew there had to be a good side to him . . .

BABBOY 2 years, 12 months ago

Just read the nice posts about me.

I will make an exeption to my rule about not addressing coments about me or engaging in debate with other posters or even re-reading my posts (to avoid snapping and arguing with some guy like Shewmon or whatever all day long -- will never happen --- I have a job)

Thanks guys!!!

Keep fighting the good fight......

BABBOY 2 years, 12 months ago

Nope

Appears to me that we fought two wars to avoid the monarchy so not sure why some are so obsessed with it.

prospector 2 years, 12 months ago

Ignore "gonna"

somedude20 2 years, 12 months ago

NO! I just got the dvd of my colonoscopy and it has deleted scenes, a making of doc and commentary. I am going to cook some form of red meat, grab a few jugs (not breasts) from Free State and watch it. Anyone want to veiw it with me. Roger Ebert's computer said it was one of the best films of this year

RoeDapple 2 years, 12 months ago

Jeez I got a medicine cabinet full of prescrips that either didn't help or make me feel worse! Some have expiration dates back to the '80's. Had no idea there was a market for them. If you want them Hollis you might need a truck.

prospector 2 years, 12 months ago

Hear Hear!

To start I will start using an extra "u" in some word. I plan to put on my favourite Pith helmet saying "cherrio" and "pip-pip" to all I see. Free state beer will never again cross my lips and monkeys will gonna fly out my butt also.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 2 years, 12 months ago

They scheduled this "royal" wedding during the NRA Annual meeting just to spite us.

Hollis, I don't know. Try this on for size.
My name is Buck, and I will fornicate your tragus.

Yeah, I think it is dirty.

autie 2 years, 12 months ago

Hey Hollis, Malcom was a pinko commie socialist Englisher. Why else would he be riding all over North Carolina on a bicycle? When the bicycle is the primary means of transport socialism cannot be far behind. And on the pill salad, save me some of those big fat football looking things colored like speckled bird eggs...

K_Verses_The_World 2 years, 12 months ago

Wedding bells are ringing and the choir is beginning to sing What looks good in the day, at night is another thing

CWGOKU 2 years, 12 months ago

No. Whitney, please let me know if I can use swear words to emphasize the word no. Yawn, wake me when it is over.

The_Original_Bob 2 years, 12 months ago

Babboy is a ray of sunshine for me each morning.

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

I'm busy getting ready for Take-Back Day. I need to stock up for my annual Pill Salad Party next month. This year's theme is Dancing With Dexedrine. Hey Ronaldo, is tragus a dirty word?

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

I'm highly anticipating babboy's response to this question. I honestly like babboy. He's often bitter, sarcastic, and pissed off. Like me.

g_rock 2 years, 12 months ago

I was actually thinking it would be a fun drinking game.

Bottle of Crown.

Shot every time the word "royal" is uttered.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 2 years, 12 months ago

I am more concerned with the suffering of the people in the Southern United States.

Andini 2 years, 12 months ago

Only if they will be televising them consummating their wedding vows.

RoeDapple 2 years, 12 months ago

I watched Chuck marry Diana. Yeah, that turned out great didn't it.

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

I'll be damned. Buddy Holly is a bassoon performance major now. I'd love to hear "Peggy Sue" on the bassoon.

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

These types of events bring out the real psychos. I've encountered several people who actually think they are a part of this thing. My crazy neighbor lady has been wearing the same torn, raggedy dress for years. I guess after her first boyfriend dumped her, she started pretending she is Miss Havisham in "Great Expectations". For the past two weeks she's been doing this routine where she comes over to chit-chat, and then pretends she's getting a phone call from Queen Elizabeth. When I answered the door yesterday she was standing there in a copy of Kate's see-through dress. I said "Lady, that's one of those see-throughs that you don't wanna". Then I sprayed her with the garden hose.

“No, I just don’t care. I don’t even know which one’s getting married.” — Katy Wade, bartender, Lawrence

I think it is both the bride and the groom that are getting married; not just one of them.

DeaconBlue 2 years, 12 months ago

Formalizing domestic partner relationships are marvelous. I'm DR'n it to enjoy it with my house pal.

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

Q: What did they find when they looked in Olivia Newton's John? A: Gomer's Pile.

HollisBrown 2 years, 12 months ago

Absolutely not. Those commies have wasted enough of my time. However, I have always thought highly of Malcom Meriweather. The way he painted faces on those eggs and made paper toys for Opie was cool as hell. And he made Andy wear a blanket across his lap when he drove him to work.

grammaddy 2 years, 12 months ago

Of course. We're making it an event. Serving scones crumpets and coffee. (tea won't keep me up at 4 a.m).I remember my oldest daughter watching when Lady Di married Prince Charles. It was like a live fairy tale for her. She wants to share that experience with her neices. This should be fun. Personally, I can't wait.
