Yeah, but with so much royalty gathered all in one place, it's difficult to imagine the media behaving otherwise.
I mean, you've got the King & Queen of Norway, the King & Queen of the Netherlands, the Dukes of Hazzard, the King of Spain, B.B. King, the Prince of Monaco, the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Queen Latifah, .....

I enjoyed the off the cuff remark by Roger (forget his last name), the British guy on Morning Joe, who said when Charles and Camilla appeared, "Britain, living up to its reputation as the Worst Dressed Nation in Europe."
That hat!

Deer poops are not that little.

Don't try to lay no boogie woogie on the King of Rock 'n Roll.
I saw a picture the other day of a table full of reeeally homely, dull looking Brit royal hangers-on and thought "does this girl know what she's getting into?"

Neither is Camilla's hat.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 29, 2011 at 08:45 AM
All these hats looked a lot like an Alice in Wonderland tea party with T.Leary sugar cubes.

I'll bet Barack Obama is glad he sent that bust back now.

I caught a few minutes when the archbishop was on and all I could think of was wuv, twu wuv.

Speaking of poops - somebody please give Camilla a stool softener, she looks a bit stopped up.

...hey!
they jeth wanna thee 'im thumper

I heard one of the commentators say that Prince Charles has never put his own toothpaste on his toothbrush.
I wonder who holds his wanker when he pees.
Oh gawd, now I need brain bleach.

a wedding??
There's an NFL DRAFT going on!!!!

Princess Kate joins the British royal welfare class. Platinum food stamp card.

The movie "Them!"is on TCM this morning--much more realistic and enjoyable.
Posted by: Tinkerbell | April 29, 2011 at 09:25 AM
Thanks, Punkin. I really did not need that image.
(ps - Camilla, of course)
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 29, 2011 at 09:27 AM
well, my agency doesnt allow us to twitter from work. so i dont know what you wrote dave. but i didnt watch any of it. gigantic who gives a fig! hope they are happy, etc. i will say that because of british health care system, they both appear to have teeth. think of it if they didnt.(there's a pucture) and at least prince whassis isnt related to carmella or camilla or whatever her name is. yoikes.
All these upper class wankers are inbred and related probably. Upper class twits of the year comes to mind.

My wife asked me yesterday if I had watched the wedding. I had to ask her what she was talking about.
I didn't really know about the wedding because I hadn't paid attention.
She had no idea when it was.
Senior moments or lack of interest?
BTW, I don't really like weddings. Does any real man? I mean unless there's an open bar and questionable attendants?
Posted by: Steve | April 29, 2011 at 09:31 AM
I'd like to offer the happy couple the gift of a container ship loaded top-full of UK republicanism.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | April 29, 2011 at 09:37 AM
I think that they are a sweet couple and the wedding was lovely and tasteful.
Posted by: Mikey | April 29, 2011 at 09:49 AM
Any 'splosions?
No?
Meh.

Posted by: queensbee | April 29, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Deer's poops are small compared to elk's poops and moose's poops ...
Feckin' Royals ... Feckin' Brits ... ERIN GO BRAGH!! UP THE REPUBLIC!!!
"Questionable Attendants" WBAGNFA ... small-town wedding-dance band ...
Feckin' eejits ...
No, I did NOT watch any of the wedding ... why would I wanna? I WORK for a livin' ...
Posted by: O the U(manity) | April 29, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Not to be defensive, but: I'm talking about FAWN poops.
Posted by: Dave | April 29, 2011 at 10:41 AM
There was a wedding?
Posted by: Elon | April 29, 2011 at 10:45 AM
Oh! FAWN poops... that's a different matter entirely!
Wait.. what? Oh, I get it. FAWN poops... cuz they are... you know. Nevermind.
Posted by: tweetywill | April 29, 2011 at 11:10 AM
Why is her wedding day the only time it's socially acceptable for a woman to pull a train?
Posted by: bonmot | April 29, 2011 at 11:21 AM
Fawn poops are cuter and smell better than this wedding foppery. Plus they are usually accompanied by fawns, one of the cutest babies on the planet. Unless you have to feed them every couple of hours.
(Yay- Dave tweets! I did not know that. One of the few people worth following...not stalker following, but at a court-ordered distance following.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 29, 2011 at 11:24 AM
Deer poop that's funny.Well they are finally married. I wonder how long we will hear about it. I enjoyed spending my time watching Mitch's play "Ernie" last night. Great opening night Dave.
Posted by: Theresa | April 29, 2011 at 11:37 AM
Little deer poops, You don't know what I got.
Posted by: Ralph | April 29, 2011 at 11:43 AM
I hear the Royals (Britain, not Kansas City) have footmen to rub their feet and poopman to do their dirty business.
That's what I heard.
Siouxie told me.
Annie told her.
Posted by: Punkin | April 29, 2011 at 12:45 PM
Yah, gotta go along with the premise that fawn poops are smaller ... tho not necessarily "cuter" ... poop is poop is poop — Gertrude (John) Stein
bonmot - my new BIL kinda wondered about that same idea the day I married his sister ... nice guy, eh?
Posted by: O the U(manity) | April 29, 2011 at 12:53 PM
O - ew.
Posted by: bonmot | April 29, 2011 at 01:53 PM
Why can't every man be like Prince William??!!! I've been waiting for my Prince to come but I'm beginning to think he's either been sidetracked or his horse has died. I wanna ride in a carriage with millions fawning over me! I just don't want to have to get married to do it. Some of the hats are atrocious and I have a feeling some hat makers are having a good laugh. The music was beautiful though and I wish them both nothing but happiness.

Ralph: Excellent Beach Boys reference.
Posted by: Dave | April 29, 2011 at 02:21 PM
OMG! Did anyone else notice Princess Eugenie's hat? She's Fergie and Andrew's daughter, the redhead in the peach dress... and speaking of deer poops, her hat made it look like she had antlers! Really awful!
Posted by: DavCat | April 29, 2011 at 03:33 PM
Well I didn't get my chance till HERE and the Blog had to intervene Himself - the press fawning, deer poops, are we all straight now?
Don't hold anything in, you know what might happen.
Posted by: Tash | April 29, 2011 at 04:00 PM
Dave Tweets. Hu gnu?
Posted by: Guin | April 29, 2011 at 04:02 PM
I did NOT gnu that!
Posted by: O the U(manity) | April 29, 2011 at 05:50 PM
I can't believe there are forty posts and nobody has observed that "Little Deer Poops" WBAGNFA rock band. Or maybe a Midwest polka band. Best of all, if Da Yoopers decide they need a new name....
Posted by: There are Too Darn Many of us Steves Lately | April 29, 2011 at 06:08 PM
Da Poopers?
Posted by: Loudmouth | April 29, 2011 at 08:08 PM
>OMG! Did anyone else notice Princess Eugenie's hat?
That wasn't a hat. She HAS antlers. All this inbreeding...
Posted by: Ross | April 29, 2011 at 11:07 PM
It's all about inspiring classic dance routines...Astaire and the coat rack, Astaire dancing on the ceiling. T-Mobile had a tough act to follow, but did a fine job. Short, funky, and cool: 21st Century all the way! They forgot to give the "Queen" a purse, though. (Don't know about linking it here, but go to You Tube and search for "royal wedding" and "T-mobile.")
Posted by: Bjdeming | April 29, 2011 at 11:11 PM
That wasn't a hat, that was Prince Charles' jug ears.
Posted by: Loudmouth | April 30, 2011 at 10:44 AM
Too many hymns, not enough nudity.
Posted by: Suzy Q (the original) | April 30, 2011 at 11:50 AM
LOL at Ross's antler comment.
Nice to know that Dave tweets. Some funny stuff!
Ya think maybe they're trying to put good locks into the family line? First Diana and now Kate.
