I watched some of the coronation last night

(I didn't know where to put this post; it seems too frivolous for GD, but not jokey enough for the Lounge, so if somebody wants me to move it, please let me know)

and looking at Charles's British Twit face I began to wonder how many of his school notebooks, starting around age 12, were covered with doodles like "Charles Rex" and "King Charles the Third" and "Charles R"--like teenage girls practice writing their married names. I wonder how many different writing styles--fonts, even--he tried out, for all those decades.

I wonder if he planned his coronation the way some girls dream about their weddings, what to wear, which crown--"does this one make me look fat?"--and who would be seated next to whom at the reception. "Oh Mummy do I *have* to have the Breaazers there? And Diana's brother?" and the Queen rolling her eyes and pretending she didn't hear him.

And how many years has Camilla been forced to listen to mix tapes?

Not all Republicans are stupid, but all stupid people are Republicans.

How do I unsubscribe to DU popup announcements

Settings? I can't find any way to get rid of these annoying pimples.
