I’m sure he’d be insufferable during holidays.

“Did you know that they’re all white? No blacks, no Latinos.”

That made me laugh out loud. It reminded me of an ex-boyfriend of mine who used to hilariously feign outrage that for “yet ANOTHER Sunday!” he had received no mail at all!!!

Don’t ask me. Voting for a Catholic guy still counts as flava.

Or the U.S. Presidency.

The royals are all related to each other. What’s our excuse?

While DeLisa’s work is royally impressive, my quote is mostly random. It came to mind while I was wiki-traveling from one boring British monarch to another. (Did you know that they’re all white? No blacks, no Latinos. It’s like the papacy!)

I do believe that’s a new Six Degrees record.

Since Benjamin Franklin does not link directly to Francis Bacon, I can go ahead and declare DeLisa the winner right now. She cannot be beaten.

The quote is from the Naked Gun. But are you saying that DeLisa is the Queen and you must be gracious in defeat? Or was it just a random fun quote?

Yeah – I spent some time mired in philosophers… urgh, David Hume. Anyway – where does that quote come from – it’s awesome!

Well, you really can’t beat that. Good thing, too. I was mired in the British monarchy for a while there.

“No matter how silly the idea of having a queen might be to us, as Americans we must be gracious and considerate hosts.”

Benjamin Franklin -> Thomas Jefferson -> Francis Bacon
