Shhhh. Don’t say that so loud. I’m a faker. I just want the tiger cub.
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Well, but you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
(boldin’ mine)
Burpo, you trying to get a job as court historian? There’s no furry pets in that job. You’ll have to take a bird. I know because I’m the nosy busybody in this here kingdom.
Oh, and btw, the homage prices have risen since the new monarch had taken over.
voids another check Well, shit…:smack:
You may have to wait until payday for me to pay homage.
~VOW
Great! Next time you entertain a certain high level US government offcial, I’ll add something “extra” to his jalapeno dip.
The store was fresh out of homages, can I pay you ham sandwiches instead?
I’d like to be a foreign ambassador of some sort. Ambassador of Those Tigers That Hang Around Beck, maybe?
BTW, where are the Royal Guardsmen? I’ve got “Snoopy vs The Red Baron” as an earworm now!
~VOW
Looky here, the Tigers will be mine. You’re welcome to hang around ‘US’, I’ll be serving dinner to the Cats in a bit. ( heh,heh,heh).
I can’t live in a world where you have…well…any authority whatsoever…so…viva la revolution!
I hope you realize that the Tigers are in Detroit. As you will be soon. 4Eyes is not a benevolent King.
Noooooooo! I will not be exiled. King-o-dude help me!!
Now I’m confused. I had assumed that homage was the person taking checks. I planned on stiffing homage. I’m certainly not going to leave a tip.
The new emperor of Japan named his era “Reiwa” 令和 The first character is most often used to mean “command” but can also mean “good” and “beautiful,” while the second means “peace” or “harmony”.
Do we get a new era here?
Wait a minute. Now, I realize I’m an uninvolved bystander here, but I was kinda hoping to get in on some of the kingly payola that was gonna be handed out. You’re telling me that homie ain’t gonna pay me? That this isn’t one of those roman style bread and circuses kingdoms? WTF man! I was lied to and the system let me down man.
I’m throwing my lot in with Oakminster. I may only have sharp sticks, a sock full of doorknobs and harsh language, but…well you know.
Okay, if you want me to transfer my allegiance from Her Most Canadian Majesty, you’re going to have to start getting the appropriate law and the centuries of stifling tradition ready. I may be a monarchist, but I’m a constitutional monarchist. She who reigns, does not rule, and all that. Let the nameless politicians duke it out in the Halls of Power. They can, and will, be replaced. The monarch cruises serenely above, embodying the symbolism and history of the State.
[sub]So, can I be Duke of Toronto? :D[/sub]
Just give the homage to me. I’ll make sure it gets to the right person… erm, kingly type. I’ll even throw a little kick-back your way. It’ll be okay, I know what I’m doing.
You get to stay. Don’t worry.
You are hereby made Duke of Toronto.
Did you know you can make bombs with common household chemicals, in the right proportions?
~VOW
What’s this? Hints from the Royal Heloise?
Can I be the minstrel? Here to sooth the royal brow with some rockin’ jams. Maybe I can be the Duke of Earl? I want to join the pantheon for great royal musicians like Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
You are hereby made the Royal Minstrel.
