Great headline, subby.

kasmel: this is either a meme thread or one of those greens where there are ~30 posts wondering WTF this was greened

Or it's none of those options.
That would be my guess.

I wouldn't say this is headline of the year material, but headline of the week at least, perhaps the month.

I thought it was a reference to the movie with the same title.

Who's offering odds that Prince Philip crams his foot into his mouth?

His own foot, or O'Bamas?

Is it Klingons?

I would love to hear what he comes up with.

Oh, the farking queen. Why doesn't he go meet someone who matters?

Haven't been paying attention this week then have we?

I hear Angela Merkel needs a shoulder rub.

A president going to meet the queen is like a dude going to meet the girlfriend's parents.

/Britain is the USA's girlfriend.
//France is is the USA's ex-girlfriend. That's why they hate Americans.
///Russia is the jackass down the street that hates you ever since you called the cops to break up his repeated loud parties.

I hope the Queen's chefs know how to prepare halal meals.

You have to be joking... you seriously don't get it? Have you seen any movies older than Bad Boys 2?

/Strap yourselves in, it's going to be a bumpy thread.

+1 to the subby. lol

Natty Dreadlock?

you rang?

I can't wait for Prince Philip to mention his ease being around President Obama because "I was once encamped with some Zulus, you know".

caribou: Is it Klingons?

No, it's Sidney Poitier. Or maybe it is Chancellor Gorkon. I forget.

Gareth: Alright, it's Christmas dinner. Royal family... having a Christmas dinner. Camilla Parker-Bowles says, "Okay, we'll play 20 Questions. I'll think of something and you have to ask me questions and guess what it is." And what she's thinking of is a black man's cock.

David: Ha! Trust Camilla! -- It's not racist, is it?

Gareth: No, no. Um... So, Prince Philip goes, "Is it bigger than the bread bin?" and she goes, "Yeah." Charles goes, "Is it something I can put in my mouth?", she goes, "Yeah." The Queen goes, "Is it a black man's cock?"

cryinoutloud: Oh, the farking queen. Why doesn't he go meet someone who matters?

Really. He should be in London to meet with leaders of the world's advanced and emerging economies, including the G20, and representatives of international financial institutions to work cooperatively to restore stability and stimulate global economic growth, not sipping tea with the Queen.
They could call the meeting the G-20 Summit or something.

Maybe the next day he could fly to Strasbourg France for a meeting of NATO leaders.

Then who is Gordon Brown that was just in Washington, DC?

FTFM.

Came here to say this, but was too late.


Approves anyway

Did you see the gifts the Obamas gave to Gordon Brown? A collection of 25 DVDs. Gordon Brown gave Hussein Obama a pen made out of the wood from an anti-slavery boat.

/Collard greens and fried chicken for the menu?

Thanks for the laugh, subby...

So, what's the 411 on all the hub-bub on the Obama/brit snub?

/I'll be chillin a case of Romulan Ale

You're leaving out the most important detail. Was Blazing Saddles on one of the DVDs?

Link (new window)

No Blazing Saddles or Huck Finn. But To Kill a Mockingbird was.

Damn... they both went to each other's houses at the same time! I can't believe they didn't coordinate this.

YOU FAIL

The reason he's meeting with the Queen is because she's the British Chief of State. That is more or less the top diplomat, the figurehead at the top of the government.

In the US, we aren't so used to that because our Chief of State is the President, who's also the Head of Government, as in the guy who actually runs the executive branch. However Britain is one of many countries where they aren't the same person.

Thus our President will end up meeting with both the Queen (their Chief of State) and Prime Minister (their Head of Government) on a number of occasions I'm sure.

I learnt a lot from the article

Uh, quick fashion hint for the First Lady when she has dinner with the Queen Mum - lose some of the beads:

rustylite: I learnt a lot from the article

I learned that the Daily Fail must be in dire financial straits since they can't afford editing any more.

Landing at Stansted (the cheep and nasty airport) and spending most of his time in docklands (warehouse and barges); only really seeing anything nice when the Queen owns it. Obama will not may be impressed with us or our alledge just society here.

As a half Kenyan who's grandfather was tortured during the Mau Mau rebellion, I don't think showing off London's Imperial grandeur is the best way to impress him.

They should take him to Brixton, he'll feel more at home there.

But you're two wonderful people who happened to fall in love and happened to have a pigmentation problem, and I think that now, no matter what kind of a case some bastard could make against your getting married, there would be only one thing worse, and that would be if - knowing what you two are and knowing what you two have and knowing what you two feel- you didn't get married. Well, Tillie, when the hell are we gonna get some dinner?

Black Uhuru?
Great headline subby. Now that song's gonna be stuck in my head all day...
