Apparently, it goes back to an old law whereby the ruling monarch's spouse is known as consort. Then we get into gender politics, because a man who marries a queen is known as prince consort, but a lady who marries a king becomes queen consort, which generally gets shortened to queen.
Let me know what you're trying/trying to do, and I'll see if I can help.
Boss Hogg:"Alright! What'd you crooks do with them furs!?" Luke Duke:"We upholstered the General with 'em." Bo Duke:"Teh. They put 'em in that blue car. They're gettin' away." Rosco:"Boss, maybe that was that blue car goin' South that nearly run over our posteriors goin' North." Boss Hogg:"Yeah. But you believe that-" Luke Duke:"Yeah. If you give us a chance, we'll help you catch 'em." Boss Hogg:"Sure you will!"(to Rosco)"And you believe in the words of a Duke!? Go on lock 'em up!"
Hey, guys....I hope Roger and his wife and Spike and his wife will get better soon and know that you have all of us backing you all the way! Bless you all!!
I'm just watching 'To Catch a Duke'. When Boss fires Rosco:
Rosco: "Listen, I want to take this to a higher court."
Boss: "Then get yourself a ladder."
Got a house full of grandkids right now. It's louder than the Boar's Nest. Nobody is paying attention to 'ol grandpa right at the moment so I thought I'd getaway to Hazzard County for a second. Have a fun weekend everybody.
Oh, that's good. Compliment followed immediately by a disclaimer of insincereity. Heh! Man, sometimes I feel like I'm sitting in one of those carnival dunk tanks on this board. Just when I'm sittin' all nice n' comfy, somebody throws one at me. *BONK* *splash!* Now, if I was gonna write really meaningless posts, I'd have to throw in more non-linear thinking. Chance of snow tomorrow. And I'd have to make sure to use words out of context. Bladder. And be disassociated from the actual converation at hand. In other words I don't have to change a thing.
Yeah, Roger went and woke me up. And as somebody said a few points ago....man, these threads get off-topic all the time. What this place needs is a good moderator. But it ain't gonna get one. Muahahahaha!!
No MaryAnne, it's my fault. I challenged him to write a quality post. Of course I'm still trying to write my first quality post too. Both of us are pretty competitive so the race is on. *Dueling Banjos begin playing* I suspect before this is all over we'll both have more posts than JulieDuke does and we'll still be a long way from the finish line. *sits back, folds hands and dreams of what it would be like to write a meaningful post* Woops, I needed the edit button on this one. The challenge was to write posts of NO quality. (I guess I succeeded again.)
Oh, somebody's a smarty-pants! You want more posts with less quality?! You got it. When it comes to worthless comments, I got the market cornered. 'Scuze me while I go admire my post count.
Cancel Culture just cancelled Pepe Le Pew. He's been removed from the new Space Jam reboot movie though "officially" it has nothing to do with a NY Times columnist basically calling the cartoon character a serial sexual predator in a recent op-ed. Funny my take away from Pepe Le Pew cartoons was if you don't heed a woman's no, boulders, safe's and other various objects will hit you in the head.
Wife had another lousy weekend, same symptoms as last weekend. Took her to urgent care last night for a covid test but the results came back negative. They think it might be the flu. I used to be the one that always got sick while the wife strutted around like Wonder Woman never getting sick. Wish there was something else I could do for her.
