Ah, so Coronation Chicken is just a variation on the Chunky Chicken Salad recipe.

Anyway . . .

Was the coronation today?  Did it go well?  Did the ghost of William Wallace make and appearance?

It's on in the background. The singing is very nice.

I'm glad they stopped that stupid pledge of allegiance where the public were invited to declare their loyalty to King Charles out loud.

And peaceful protesters were arrested at the Coronation with no reason given. Because the government has passed a law in Britain to say we can't protest now.

I wish that Chuck and Camilla would have had better posture, and would stand up straighter.

Other than that it was your nice regal Brit style pageantry.

No complaints. :)

I didn't watch it. I was in my pod, dreaming about Oktoberfest.

Yes. Its was live on early morning east coast US cable news.

We got to see him sit in the dentist's chair, and yes...he did get a crown!

They provided those video screens showing the dental surgeon's hands in his mouth. So we didnt miss a moment of the action. :D

Camila looks like an old, wrinkled up Christ Kind with clown make-up.

I’m reliably informed that Royalty don’t fart. It’s bred into them, don’tcha know!

I wonder if he's had this song stuck in his head.





I'm just a puppet on a lonely string ...

The anti-monarchy sentiment just reminded me of some artwork I did for a punk band.

Bank of Shiteland £20 (black dots are there so I don't get banned for posting racist iconography)
