I find the not showering thing simply repulsive. I have never ridden a horse in my entire life, so maybe someone who has can fill me in. It's a pretty strenuous activity, no? Like going to an aerobics class. But in an aerobics class, you come out smelling like BO only. I figure that riding a horse, you’d smell like BO and the horse. Foul.

You got it. No matter how well groomed the horse is, it smells like...a horse. I always smelled horsy when I was finished riding and I immediately jumped into the shower.

I just ran into this on the web and I had to share - Chuck is really from Uranus

BWAH! He is definitely a reptilian shape shifter. How else can you explain his appearance?

literally wiping tears while snickering uncontrollably ;D I needed to come here and read these posts. Thanks so very much.

Oh heavens. I just hope they are able to contact the finger food caterer in time to postpone it a day. I'd hate to think any of their esteemed guests were eating day old chicken fingers and fishsticks (with sporks). Do you think this can be switched on such short notice?

;D Hahahahahahah! Of course this can be arranged. Because the mule and his mare don't use sporks -- equines of every color and stripe graze and snort, they don't use eating utensils. Not even silver sporks. The servants are the ones who use the sporks -- to pitch their hay to 'em.

I agree with the poster who said they should have saved us the grief 30 years ago and married each other from the gitgo. Since they didn't, they'll have to suffer the slings and arrows of always being looked at with raised eyebrows -- and a snickering whinny or three.

You can't start out wrong on every count and expect everything to turn out right, even if you are born royal. I suspect that Mummy's and Daddy's snubs and John Paul's burial on their previous wedding date are just the tip of the iceberg regarding the troubles these 2 will have.

I can't imagine how the 2 princes must be feeling now. Because I'm betting you both of them knew about their pappy's ongoing adulterous goings-ons with the de-lovely future Duchess of Cornwall, while he was married to Diana Spencer. It's amazing how much children know about what's going on in the household, even one as big as theirs was.

I also agree with the general consensus here that the two of them are as dumb as a box of rocks.

Nevertheless....

Neighing and whinnying in salute to the future monarchs.

Ehhhhhh heh heh heh. Hee!

Exactly. If they were so in luuuurve, why didn't Cammie wait for Chuckles to get out of the Navy? It's not like he was going to be there for 20 years. Nobody forced Cammie to hurry up and marry Andrew Parker-Bowles. Chuckles and Cammie have nobody to blame but themselves for being "star crossed lovers". BLECH.

Then again, Chuckles would be a miserable whiner no matter who he married. He's a spoiled, petulant baby who's always unhappy about something.

Cammie likes the hunt and Andrew was the fox that every girl wanted. Once she had him and found he wasn't going to be true she went to the next best thing, someone who liked her as a mommie.

I think we've mentioned previously that they didn't marry from the beginning because Queenie wouldn't allow it. Horsie was the town bike and everyone knew it. Even Diana had to undergo a pelvic to determine if she was a virgin. (Or so I read). Horsie would've flunked the test before it was administered.

I just thought of another tasty finger food treat. Squirt cheese on saltines. (Or directly into the mouth)

QEII and Chuckie having an agreement just sounds like a rumor.

Cindy Adams often gets things right... that why I posted the link. She's one of the few gossip columnists that doesn't just print any old thing she has heard... so there could be something to this one...

Anyway, I hope Charles realizes how lucky he is to be able to change the day of his wedding at the last minute and have no repercussions with the wedding planner, caterer, minister, etc. How nice if just anyone could change things at a moments notice.

I think realizing how lucky he is is way beyond the scope of his abilities. I've always had the impression that he spends a lot of time and energy feeling sorry for himself. If only I could be so "unfortutate".


ETA Phenobarbara, that is exactly what I meant. Perfect.

My wife is more famous than I am...poor me.
Nobody takes my political views seriously...poor me.
I'll be a very old man by the time I'm King...poor me.
My mother won't accept my girlfriend...poor me.
I have to deal with the media...poor me.

Shut up, you whiny twit.

Bwaaaaahhhhhhh!!! azaleaqueen, I heart you!! I love the leap from pelvic exams to squirt cheese finger treats!!!!

How would you like to have this guy's assignment?
This poor chap has been charged with composing a "cheerful, commemorative poem" about the wedding.

LONDON, April 6 - How do you solve a problem like "Camilla"?

If you are Andrew Motion, Britain's poet laureate and the man charged with producing a cheerful commemorative poem about Prince Charles's impending marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles, none of the obvious rhymes - vanilla, flotilla, Godzilla - seem appropriate, somehow.

I'll take the rhyming thingie with "Godzilla".

Appraising Mr. Motion in The Daily Telegraph, the poet Craig Raine allowed that he had written some "perfectly creditable" laureate poems.

Referring to two of the many royal scandals that seem to cry out for comment by an anti-laureate, Mr. Raine wrote: "It isn't that I'd like laureate poems entitled, 'On the Occasion of James Hewitt Visiting Princess Diana for the Purpose of Consolation,' or 'Imagine Being a Tampax: Intimate Thoughts on the Mobile Phone.'

Bwaahahahaahhaahaah!
