1. Damn. Ol' Diderot sure had a way with words. nt

2. Well, I'm gonna indulge all day, that day.

Looking forward to all the pageantry and Royal overkill! And obscenely jeweled crowns and crap. I can’t help it. I’m gonna eat it up with a spoon!

I’m gonna get the Call to Action email as finished as possible and sit back and drink tea all day and maybe eat a few sweets I shouldn’t eat and ENJOY! This is 70 years in the making and I’m looking forward to giving it a few hours, and we don’t even have to pay for it! And I’m gonna watch and maybe gossip with some girlfriends and get catty and maybe even doze off once or twice.

It’s gonna be a foolishly fun day!

6. I wouldn't watch

The royal circus if you paid me to

11. Me too!

I love all the royalty stuff. I got up ridiculously early to watch both of Charles’ weddings, William and Harry’s weddings too. Maybe I’ll make some scones for tea. Grandpa came over on the boat from Cornwall when he was a baby. I’m in touch with a cousin who’s still there and he thinks the whole thing is a waste of time and $$.

8. Wait, you mean they ain't put the crown on that fool yet???

[speak easy]

12. An arch bishop puts the crown on the monarchs head,

because that crown means he is head of the Church of England. Goes back to Henry VIII, when he decided he was head of the church. The First Amendment says there won't be that kind of state religion in the U.S.

10. There is

no such thing as king.

22. Elvis begs to differ.

Just ask him. Last I heard, he was working in a diner in Michigan.

13. If not royalty and religion, next people in charge will probably be assholes too.

Humans.

14. I don't have much in the way of respect for the man so could care less.

15. King Charles the third.

So lacking in imagination!

King Arthur the second would have been better.

The Brits (mostly) love the pomp and ceremony of a coronation.

Almost as much as Americans love their guns.

I know which is less harmful.

16. To have a king you must have peasants. What century is this?

[Aussie105]

17. Spoken like a true rebellious peasant.

Off with his head!

[samnsara]

18. well now that sounds like a good Midsomer Murders plot! :)
