Bugs: "Arise, Sir Loin of Beef!" *strikes Sheriff over the head with his sceptre*

"Milk of Magnesia" *strike*
"Quarter of Ten..." *strike*
Sheriff: (dazed, slurred) "You are too kind, your majesty."
Bugs: (to audience) "Got lots of stamina!"

I bet the real knights who had to slay dragons and rescue princesses are pissed that actors and directors get knighted routinely.

Came for the Bugs Bunny reference, leaving with my faith in Fark reaffirmed.
"London Bridge is falling down...."

Agreed.

/waiting to see how they portray Glenn Beck in "The Lovely Bones"

Seriously. I'm pretty sure Sir Galahad could kick Peter Jackson, Elton John and Mick Jaggers ass at the same time with one hand tied behind his back.

I dunno Galahad was always a bit light in the loafers and Mick's a wiry little bastard...

And Sir Patrick Stewart once played Leondegrance so there's that...

yarnothuntin: Old enough to know better: Oh sure. Until he makes it to Sir Christopher Lee. then its game on biatch!

LOL that would be epic! But what powers would Lee have? Dooku, Saruman, or Dracula? Or all 3?

No he'd simply be Lord Summerisle, the combat tranvestite

Pope George Ringo: Finally, his artistic achievement for the film Bad Taste has been recognized.

Reminded me of this:

Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war --for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more. - John Lennon

Well, Mr Lennon, you were wrong. Soldiers received their medals for courage under fire, not for the highest body count.

Well, Mr Lennon, you were wrong. Soldiers received their medals for courage under fire, not for the highest body count.

To illustrate this, note that a disproportionate percentage of the recipients of the Medal of Honor are [or, generally, were] medics.* Add to that the percentage of men who were awarded it for dragging multiple wounded men (often while severely wounded themselves) out of the line of fire.

*In the 20th-21st centuries, not back in the Civil War when it was our only bravery medal at all and was handed out with much higher frequency.

Lennon was wrong anyway (but in this regard, so were the critics of the Beatles' honours). The MBE/OBE/CBE/KBE/GBE was always a non-combat order. It was initially just for those who had performed some sort of non-combat extra-good service in WWI, but within a year, it had a civilian division as well. Entertainers, politicians, civil servants, captains of industry, philanthropists, inventors, scientists, female judges (male judge are typically created knights bachelor, but there's no such thing as a dame bachelor) et al., are awarded membership in the Order of the British Empire; that's essentially what it's for.

Well done, Sir!
