His Majesty’s tomb.
Oh yes, new destination to visit for my next trip to San Francisco! I’ll have to explain to my husband the necessity of honoring our only emperor. 
Seeing the state of your country nowadays, I am not entirely unconvinced that His Royal Highness, Norton the First, would not do better.
Perhaps you should find yourself a new emperor.
I rode the train home from the Giants game next to his deputy the other night.
Cheers to the Emperor.
When an over-zealous young cop arrested Norton for vagrancy, a judge discharged him with the words “Mister Norton has shed no blood, robbed no one, and despoiled no country, which is more than can be said for most fellows in the king line”. And in Neil Gaiman’s “Three Septembers and a January” he was Death’s favourite monarch, and she’d met them all.
Frank Chu’s doing his thing still? Aw, man. Shaenon Garrity always loved quoting him.
And when you bring your computer to San Francisco, don’t forget to use the Emperor Norton Utilities.
I’m proud to claim the Emperor as a Member of the Tribe. L’chaim, your majesty.
If I remember correctly after this either the mayor or the chief of police had an officer stay with him to prevent such a thing happening again.
He didn’t actually issue money, that would have been legal. But he did issue promisary, interest bearing notes. If you google his name you’ll turn up a couple of pictures of them.
Well, in Gaiman’s story he was one of the 36 tzadikim.
I’m surprised that the wiki article doesn’t mention the shout-outs in Narbonic.
I don’t beleive they escorted him. But they were told to salute him when they saw him in public.
And they were a good investment. Genuine Norton notes are worth more than their face value. And I say genuine because they became valuable enough that they were counterfeited.
I believe I know one of the current 36 (He denies it of course). He suffers from the delusion that he is a werewolf, almost died of a dental infection last year, and is one of the finest human beings you could ever hope to meet. Next time we chat, I shall suggest to him that he proclaim himself Emperor.
Didn’t His Imperial Majesy also try to arrange a marriage between President Lincoln and the widowed Queen Victoria (I imagine Mrs Lincoln would have a problem with that)?
