Bye the bye...

I'm still going with Tapit Trice in the Derby. I don't like him at all for the Triple Crown because I think he'll get smooshed in The Preakness, for reasons. But I'm saying Tapit Trice over Forte in a close one in Kentucky. More tomorrow.

Also, I don't know shit, so don't go betting the rent money on anything I say. 😆

I always thought the Queen would skip him and hand things over to William and Kate. They are much more loved by the people. Charles is definitely creepy and smoosh. And the guy picked Camilla over Diana. Seriously?

Behold the field in which I grow my fucks, lay thine eyes upon it, thou shalt see that it is barren.

Haha a former co-worker sent it to me. We had a long running zero effs meme chain going.

That one, and The Sound of Music Julie Andrews twirling on the mountain top captioned look at all the fucks I do not give are my favorites.

At work someone would say cue music, and someone else had to twirl and sing.....the hills are alive with the sound of music. Which was our amusing way to sport our frustrations in a light hearted way without management being on our shit. I mean....it’s the sound of music right? 😂

Can I have your permission to use it? I'm sure the perfect occasion will arrive. 🤣

Message me and I will send you the actual meme.

Though I and we shouldn’t care about this since 1776 I’ve always gotten into it.

I admit I’m an Anglophile.

I guess I’ve respected Great Britain since they stood alone vs the Nazis from 1940 trough 12/7/41.

My wife and I had our honeymoon in London back in 1988 and have gone back a couple times since.

I’ll get up early and watch. I guess I like the pomp and circumstance.

don’t worry about the Derby. Post isn’t until 6:57pm.

The coronation is over by 10am est.

Oh, and I’ve never been a fan of Charles. The royal family is head of state, not government.

You stay out of politics and opinion.

He’s a climate change nut job as his carbon foot print is 1,000,000 times more than us peons.

Counting the days to King William and Queen Catherine. 😎🇬🇧🇬🇧

During the late 80s and early 90s Julie and I would spend a week or so over in the U.K., and one of the things that amused me was the way that London celebrated the 4th of July almost more than major cities in the U.S.! American flags, red white and blue bunting on the buildings. Haven't been back in a couple decades, but I am sure they no longer do that.

Derby, definitely. As for Charles, I seriously dislike him. Queen Elizabeth was an exceptional individual, and I doubt that the monarchy will ever reach her stature again. With the exception of her and Queen Victoria, the British monarchy has left a lot to be desired over the centuries.

Expand full comment

I agree but add Elizabeth’s father, King George. He refused to leave during WWII

Expand full comment

Yes, you are right about that. I overlooked him, so thanks for reminding me.

Charles is an unlikable fellow, overly pampered and blaming his staff for everything he is unhappy with- such as the butter tray not being where he wants it- and instead of moving it himself, he speaks gruffly and makes frowny eyes. I wonder if he looks grumpy because he realized his mistake all those years ago, when he jettisoned a beautiful, much loved and very generous soul for his frumpy Camilla.

I was so hoping that the Queen would skip Charles and go to William but I guess tradition won out. Too bad, they are now stuck with smoosh and horse face.

They could combine the 2 events and enter Camilla in the derby.

Now that is funny!

He won't be king for long. It will be but a blip then Wills and Kate will take over.

Expand full comment

Unfortunately they somehow tend to have long lives in that family. It could be another 20 years until William takes over 😬

~20 years of dark years and then a long period of Enlightenment and Joy

If an elevator door opened for me to get on, and a creepy, skinny, rheumy-eyed, Charles-looking old guy was on it, I would turn and run the other way.

I think the monarchy is going to be a yawn fest until William and Kate take over, if anyone still cares at that point.

And someone mowed or Roundup'd a penis into the grass outside the coronation ceremony site. A lawn schlong.

I'll probably get a ton of crap for this, but Chuck is such a yawnfest that Camilla will be the highlight of the coronation.

I think he’s on the verge of Joey - with dementia. He has that look. Which means the homewrecker will be in charge.

You know, just like America.

I agree. Never liked him, and I don’t think I’ll be getting up at 5am EST to watch it, even though I do enjoy all the pageantry.

Expand full comment

I'm going to record it, that way I can fast forward through all the boring stuff.

I'm not a fan of Charles, especially after the way he treated Diana. Hopefully he doesn't have the longevity gene that his parents and grandparents seemed to have. 🤞

Don't particularly care

He's an old rich elite creeper. His boutanier should have a tampon in it since he wanted to be Camila's. Wish they'd take Harry and his handler back.

Did you see the story that came out that Queen Elizabeth was not a fan of Meghan?

Expand full comment

No. I'm not surprised. I'm certain the queen had her thoroughly investigated. We will see how long this marriage lasts? Idk if Harry boy arrived for the coronation yet? I couldn't sleep last night & was reading something online that if he attends, Megs will have a press party of her & the kids looking forlorn to stir the pot & make Harry boy feel guilty.

I wish they'd find a large private island & make it a elite, woke ass, climate change utopia & leave us the frick alone.

I read that Harry is arriving on Friday, and leaving right after the coronation to get home for his son's 4th birthday. Of course that could be a cover if he wasn't invited to the parties. 🤷

Not watching , couldn’t care less. Never did care. Charles is a creepy hypocrite esp when it comes to shoving “climate change” down our throats. And besides that after reading about the crown you can bet the stones in it were stolen from the countries the British conquered.
