aussiew Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Sorry if my head has been so much in work, dating and football recently but did I miss something? Last night I was watching a show on PBS about the Royals and heard that the Queen recently knighted George Bush Senior, Steven Spielburg, Bill Gates and someone else I can't remember. Am I the only one who missed this news?
Gavin in Va Beach Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Why is this news? They'll knight anybody these days. I think it's my turn sometime next year.

aussiew Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Y'all deserve a spanking. Anyone have "real" info?
Dan Gross Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Y'all deserve a spanking. Anyone have "real" info? 162713[/snapback] ...and after the spanking.... Spielberg received his in 2000, and, of course, as an American it's only honorary. Other "recent recipients," including former President Bush, are listed there... http://archives.cnn.com/2000/SHOWBIZ/Movies/12/29/spielberg/

Alaska Darin Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 I'd like to see Bill Gates wielding a broad sword with those pipe cleaner arms.
dib Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 I'd like to see Bill Gates wielding a broad sword with those pipe cleaner arms. 162793[/snapback] He doesnt have to, he can hire someone else to do it for him
Alaska Darin Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 He doesnt have to, he can hire someone else to do it for him 162800[/snapback] I know, but that ought to be a requirement.
Just Jack Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 What's it cost for a knighting? Is there a late night infomercial for it? Can I get it in 4 easy payments?
Kevbeau Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 I'd like to see Bill Gates wielding a broad sword with those pipe cleaner arms. 162793[/snapback] I agree, there should be some standards. Like jousting. Put it on pay per view. On tonights card....Sir Elton John of Lichtenstein vs. Sir William Gates of errr...Seattle. Madden: Well, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict whoever knocks the other guy off first will take home the win. Michaels: Sir Elton has entered the ring and is sporting his home armor of pink with blue rhinestones....and Gates has taken the field...and what's this, someone has thrown an octopus out onto the ice. (I have too much time on my hands today)
nobody Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 ...and, of course, as an American it's only honorary... Like it really is any different for the Brits who get it nowadays! None of the "knights" of today could protect their crown and country.

nobody Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 I dare you to say that to Sean Connery's face. I'll just make sure that Andrew Lloyd Webber is standing between us so I can get a couple seconds head start.
aussiew Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Actually it's not "crown and country", it's "God and the Empire"
