God save (us from) The Queen

[Mikey]

Or just use the Mike Mercury puppet from Supercar.

That kind of looks like Charles

If Freddy had been our Queen, I would have been a Royalist.
I mean, the Royal Family is taking us up the *** anyway, so there would be little difference....

[Gorn Captain]

When one dies, they should have him/her stuffed.
We'd save a fortune.
They could wheel them out for New Year's Day and play a pre-recorded message.

[Mikey]

They're all ugly too.

Why somebody would want their faces on money is beyond me

Well, I was talking about the Queen of England.

Guess I missed that part. So how does that affect Belgians? LOL

You never know when she might have to buy a new sweater or something

Ummm, she looks like she shops at thrift stores.

Latest theories say that Jack The Ripper was a member of the Royal Family.
Man, I didn't know Charles was that old.
He does have a craving for old tarts, though, so that could be a clue...

[Mikey]

I heard the Royal family is part crazy from excessive inbreeding from generation to generation.

Not sure if it's true.

[Gorn Captain]

Waitaminute! Belgium has a QUEEN???
Isn't that kind of like having a screen door on a submarine?

Well, I was talking about the Queen of England.
But Belgium does have a King and Queen.
They do very little either, except get a very extravagant allowance (millions a year) for cutting a few ribbons.
The Queen of England, well, she's one the richest people in the world.
And yet, when one of her castles was damaged by fire, she had the tax payers pay the bill. Poor thing has to hold on to her savings, you know. You never know when she might have to buy a new sweater or something....

Freddie is the only guy skinny enough to fit into a Mego Cheron suit

I liked Queen better with Freddie and God knows he spent lots of money on foolish things.

[Mikey]

You guys do know i'm talking about Queen the musical group, right ?

[Adam West]

Maybe someone can enlighten me but I didn't think the royal family received a whole lot of taxypayer dollars anymore. I thought most of their money is just passed down from one generation to the next.

Sure, they live tax free in Buckingham Palace along with some other estates and have body guards and employees which are paid by the government but so do ex-presidents of the U.S.

I'm not calling them out.

If people want to have a queen that's fine with me ..

They have the right to waste their money on whatever they want

I'm just saying, it is a waste, imo

I guess I agree it's a "waste" in many respects...but, again, slippery slope

Who know how I'd feel if someone recruited me to recalibrate a country's
economics/taxes that had a Royal Family---after weighing everything
out---I may be persuaded and compelled to pursue diminishing the whole
"royal" thing.

If this is "politics talk"---I apologize---I never actually thought I'd get any
where near that...

Why have some of your tax dollars go to make the richest person in the world richer ?

Forget about nostalgia

I'm talking economics

Nobody on earth is god, and nobody should be treated like it

Okay.

Guess I don't take it that seriously.

I mean...others on this planet are put on pedestals too.

It's a slippery slope once you start "calling 'em out"
----especially one(s) that are so iconic to a country.
