  2. Can you get workers comp for the repetitive strain of sitting in a throne all day? Seriously, my ass is numb.

  6. I think this crown is giving me a rash.
  7. Great. I downloaded 3.0 and now all of my apps are gone. Fucking great.
  8. Scepters are weird, if you really think about them. I mean, what are they for, exactly?
  9. @PostSecret I am SO OVER my wife’s issues. Am seriously considering switching to Protestantism.
  10. They may call it the disease of kings, but I can assure you that gout is no happily ever after #mybigtoehasspawnedamonster

  13. Oh look at me! I’m the King, and here’s my big ornamented stick to prove it! OOGA BOOGA!
  14. Of all the furs in the world, you choose ermine?! Ermine! A weasel? Am I the only one who is keeping track of the meta View definition in a new window message anymore?
  15. Crown jewels might be valuable, but they are also heavy. I’m just saying.
  16. Just ONCE I’d like to consummate a marriage without a room full of witnesses.
  17. @MaryBoelyn Why don’t YOU try to arrange Father’s Day around 50 illegitimate children, then, if I’m “not doing multifamily right.”
  18. This day of drinking, whoring, feasting, surveying the palace grounds, sentencing treason & general revelry FINALLY DONE. I so need a vacay.

by anna on 05.25.2009

  4. How am I to introduce 42 characters w/ peculiar names, dead-end plots, obscure origins, and mysterious benefactors, in less than 140 charact
  5. Yarg. QED. #twitterfail
  6. gal loses pregnancy, decides to wear maternity clothes 4evr, w8 4 baby that never comes. Cobwebs, rotting diaper cake? rough idea, thots?
  7. In retrospect, yes: Oliver! was atrocious. But it was the 60s, & I was jacked up on black beauties & Simon & Garfunkel. Sue me.
  8. The will is a character, do you see? The will dictates the plot. Really, must I always spell it out?
  9. People, apple shampoo is ONLY trending because you all keep asking why apple shampoo is trending.

  13. @GEliot, no I LIKE the tedious length & mind-numbing philosophical digressions. It’s the arcane quotes I’m not sure about.
  14. @JimCarrey as Scrooge might be a mistake. But Zemeckis was already on board & creepy animation aside, I couldn’t say no to the easy payday.
  15. People think Victorians are uptight, but the truth is Victoria & Albert are pretty hardcore. e.g. last night: “Hold my hair!” #3drunk words
  16. To those that unfollowed after @Thackeray tweet, when was the last time he talked to YOU at Vauxhall?
  17. One time I heard Jay Leno refer to Tim Burton’s work as “Dickensian.” Pshaw. And that was the last time I watched him.
  18. Want a monarch to follow you? Mention them by name & you’ll show up in a vanity search. Also works on internet stars. #IbeetlejuicedQueenV
