History in the making guys....

Shocked.  I kinda thought she'd live forever. 

King Charles time?  There's going to be a real tumult in the UK.

kinda going to be weird without her around.

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Yeah.  Kind of surreal. 

I wonder if Charles is going to keep the name and be Charles III.  The first two parts of that trilogy left a lot to be desired history wise.

Wow.  That truly is the end of an era.

I am guessing that her passing will, in time, be seen as a significant event.  IMHO, while the British Crown does not have the political authority it once had, she had imbued it with some authority that helped the UK's position both in the Commonwealth and globally.  I'm not sure that situation will continue.

The newscasters on TV are constantly tripping up and calling him Prince Charles. 

Man...this is going to take time to get used to.

Can't the British skip a generation if the ascending monarch is...less than stellar?

And yep, he confirmed he's choosing King Charles III over George VII.

May he have a better rep than his namesakes.

Well Charles II was pretty well loved, wasn't he? 'The Merry Monarch' and all that?

Not really.  They called him the Merry Monarch because he was a noted libertine and hedonist.  He had 12 illegitimate children we know about and no legitimate ones.

He was affable, but spent most of his time as King trying to hold onto his throne and not follow his Dad to the chopping block.  He gets mixed to failing grades by historians.

Major changes for the British in just a few days, a new king and a new PM.
