God Save The Queen
 

London, 8th November 2000. <BR> <BR>To the citizens of the United States of America, <BR> <BR>Following your failure to elect a President of the <BR>USA to govern yourselves and, by extension, the free world, we <BR>hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence. <BR> <BR>Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume <BR>a monarch's duties over all states, commonwealths and other <BR>territories. <BR> <BR>To aid in the transition to a British Crown <BR>Dependency, please comply <BR>with the following acts: <BR> <BR>1. Look up "revoke" in a dictionary <BR>2. Learn at least the first 4 lines of "God save the <BR>Queen" <BR>3. Start referring to "soccer" as football <BR>4. Declare war on Quebec <BR> <BR>Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be <BR>with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due <BR>(backdated to 1776). <BR>

Spice Girl, :-D LOL ROTFL Does "God Save the Queen" sound like "My Country Tis of Thee"? ;-)

I have a 225 year old tea bag. Perhaps you would care to suck it?

<BR>Spice girl, how can her majesty revoke what was never granted to begin with? Didn't we take our independence in a war we won?

Like, I looked up "revoke" and it was, like, Indian giving, right? So I go, yeah, well I get THAT, but what's this "revocation"? And I'm thinkin, a Queen? I mean, we already got a Prince and he's bad enough. <BR> <BR>Spice Girl, honey, your Elizabeth's a trip, knowwhaddimene? Now, if Di was still walkin' maybe then, okay? <BR> <BR>And NO WAY your gonna get me to say Mia Hamm and Brandy Chastain play football! Never be down with that, isn gonna happen, girlfriend, no no no. <BR> <BR>But don't worry we won't have a president. We're just showing you hotshitte Brits how your supposed to settle things, down-home style. I promise somebody will be prez in January and somebody else will be filling lawsuits like we got a lot of out of work lawyers! <BR> <BR>What's Quebec? <BR> <BR>

Spice Girl <BR> <BR>You've missed the plot - we're going to become the 51st State when William (Stuff The Euro) Hague wins the next election. Can we have the Jimi Hendrix version of the new National Anthem, please? Now That's What I Call Music. <BR> <BR>I don't think George W and Little Willie have told anyone what's happening to Queenie. <BR> <BR>PS I have a neat solution to the Floridian conundrum - a rotating presidency. Toss a coin for who goes first, then it's two years Bush/Liebermann, two years Gore/Cheney (or vice versa, see coin for details). That'll work ...

An addendum, considering the most recent post: <BR> <BR>You will all learn to speak the Queen's English.

And you will all start driving on the proper side of the street, eh?

I probably could abide ER, but that doofus son of hers is another matter. <BR> <BR>The vision of ER riding in an open car through East Los Angeles, queen-waving to the crowds, is amusing. <BR> <BR>Wouldn't it be sort of fun to just dump all our problems in her lap. "here you go, your royal self, you can fix the crime, the homelessness, racial tensions..." 'cause she's done such a darn good job throughout her kingdom.

Kindly note that QE2 is only QE1 of "Britain" since the prior Betty didn't run Scotland. <BR> <BR>Britons: Where's the swingometer now that we need it over here?

Mike, I think we already have a rotating president... <BR> <BR>oh. and don't forget Sid Viscious GSTQ

uh, Vicious, that is... <BR> <BR> <BR>sam

Ya know, I think Spice Girl is right. We could use a little British "rule." I mean, look at what a fine job the Brits are doing in Ireland! The only problem I might have with surrendering to England is that we'd have to adopt their form of dental hygiene (which, from what I can tell, is defined as "none."

OUCH! That's gotta hurt! Be careful though, they may dig a tunnel and nail us with a surprise attack! I can see the red coats marching from a hole in the sea, right up into Manhattan! <BR>

We already have Disneyland and Mickey Mouse. <BR>

Seriously, why would England want us back? We would just cause more trouble now than we did in 1776! Giving them any one of several cities I can name would more than revenge the War of 1812. <BR>The idea of digging a tunnel to the USA reminds me of the British force that tried to cut its way through the woods from Canada to New York City during the Revolutionary War. Real sneak attack!!

Dudes, I totally think Her Royal Highness and her entire family would fit right in California... We can lease them Barbara Streisand's big hilltop estate, then they could be neighbors with Brad and Jennifer and the Hanks and Speilbegs... We could add their residence to the maps of stars homes and get their feet in cement at Mann's Chinese. Hey, it's all about marketing isn't it? I am sure they'd all love the weather.. but try to find good muesli now there is a dilemma... I say come on over Windsor's et al.. You'll fit right in! Maybe they can make it in time to be Grand Marshall at the Rose Parade.

To Spice Girl, <BR> <BR>Please comply with the following: <BR> <BR>Acknowledge that your original post was something that was already circulating over the Net, and not your original work. I received variations on it from several people yesterday.

<BR>Herb girl: <BR>AND?????

And off with herb girls head.

Let me be the first to willingly submit to the domination and control of Her Majesty. Where do I sign? Think of all of the benefits. I'd lose 20 pounds in a heartbeat if I had to eat British Food day in, day out. Besides, maybe my kids would have a better chance of marrying up if surrounded by royalty.

Poor Salada Lipton... Quebec is that beautiful French Province you Americans tried three times to conquer... and failed. So much for that!

Oh, yeah, the US really misses Quebec. French fries with gravy?!

In France the heir apparent to the throne was called the Dauphin. In Britain he is called The Doofus. <BR>I had not heard that term in a while; not since my son graduated from high school. So thanks for reminding me of a funny word. He had several friends who were various degrees of "Doofus." <BR>I think the ultimate was "Stupid Ass Doofus," because it seemed to be a degree of two below "Dumb Doofus." <BR>I don't think baby Charley is stupid; I just think he was denied normal human role models and grew up spoiled rotten and immoral, complete with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old. <BR>I mean with old Prince Philip as a father, what is a poor boy to do?? <BR>Betcha Philip never kicked a football at Charley, or beat him at a game of checkers. (I knew I was growing up when my Dad quit letting me win.) <BR>But poor Charley grew up in such a way that to him turning on his own light switch is a hardship. <BR>

Well look on the bright side; you would get to play some decent sports and take part in world cups that the rest of the world takes part in, as opposed to watching the Kansas Inbreeds vs Chigago Crackheads in the "world series" of monster truck racing or whatever passes for a sport over there. <BR> <BR>On the down side; if you were part of the British team you wouldn't win any of them. <BR> <BR>Also; we could get rid of that arbitatry border between you and Canada. <BR> <BR>Can we colour (note spelling, there are going to be a lot of changes) the US pink on the map again now then?

Hey y'all I sho nuf doan lak that thar remark bout my favoright sport. I wud rather drife my truk then haf sex and thas sayin sumthin. Ain't no limp wristed brit gonna bad mouf my truk. I mite com on ofer thar and kick yur ass brit boy.

For the uninformed. Americans play soccer, aka football. In case you had not heard, the womens team did rather well in World Cup competition. <BR>As for having British soccer (football) over here, no thanks. We have enough killing and riots for other reasons without introducing British hooliganism into our society. Drunken American football fans may be the norm, but rarely do they kill anybody. That happens at youth hockey games.

same as here then. You wouldn't want to know about our cricket hooligans tho'. Five days of non-stop rampage, city centres decimated, all supplies of panama hats panic bought, not a rheumatism pill to be had for love nor money. It can get nasty.

Woe is me! I could never be a British subject: my teeth are beautiful, I hate tea, and I understand the punchlines to jokes. Love the Beatles, though. <BR> <BR>Why does Queen EII always carry those big, ugly granny purses?? Jeez they look dopey! <BR>
