What? Did the U.K. finally recognize us as an independent nation?

I find this to be cute.

What language is this rubbish written in?

Cythraul: What? Did the U.K. finally recognize us as an independent nation?

It's like China and Taiwan. One day the "USA" will rejoin the British Empire.

One day.

Is it me, or does she look appropriately dressed next to the Alice and Wonderland characters?

She is getting very close to the "Brrrraaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnnnssssssss" stage.

Oh goodie! Can I play with the toy country too?

/Bill Bailey said something to that effect already, btw...

dwrash: She is getting very close to the "Brrrraaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnnnssssssss" stage.

Apparently Prince Philip is already there.

Meanwhile, Prince Philip slipped away and ate several plates of baked beans.

I was wondering why the 8-year-old Alice looked so... big.

/maybe it was the cake

'ello. I 'ave me shark 'at on. Now watch me go through the crowd. Soon, there'll be someone yellin' "Shark! Shark!" But the I'll just pop up 'n say "It's just me, the Queen, dearie."

And spending four days on the tarmac at Luton airport on a five-day package tour with nothing to eat but dried BEA-type sandwiches and you can't even get a drink of Watney's Red Barrel because you're still in England and the bloody bar closes every time you're thirsty and there's nowhere to sleep and the kids are crying and vomiting and breaking the plastic ash-trays and they keep telling you it'll only be another hour although your plane is still in Iceland and has to take some Swedes to Yugoslavia before it can load you up at 3 a.m. in the bloody morning and you sit on the tarmac till six because of "unforeseen difficulties", i.e. the permanent strike of Air Traffic Control in Paris - and nobody can go to the lavatory until you take off at 8, and when you get to Malaga airport everybody's swallowing "enterovioform" and queuing for the toilets and queuing for the armed customs officers, and queuing for the bloody bus that isn't there to take you to the hotel that hasn't yet been finished. And when you finally get to the half-built Algerian ruin called the Hotel del Sol by paying half your holiday money to a licensed bandit in a taxi you find there's no water in the pool, there's no water in the taps, there's no water in the bog and there's only a bleeding lizard in the bidet. And half the rooms are double booked and you can't sleep anyway because of the permanent twenty-four-hour drilling of the foundations of the hotel next door - and you're plagues by appalling apprentice chemists from Ealing pretending to be hippies, and middle-class stockbrokers' wives busily buying identical holiday villas in suburban development plots just like Esher, in case the Labour government gets in again, and fat American matrons with sloppy-buttocks and Hawaiian-patterned ski pants looking for any mulatto male who can keep it up long enough when they finally let it all flop out. And the Spanish Tourist Board promises you that the raging cholera epidemic is merely a case of mild Spanish tummy, like the previous outbreak of Spanish tummy in 1660 which killed half London and decimated Europe - and meanwhile the bloody Guardia are busy arresting sixteen-year-olds for kissing in the streets and shooting anyone under nineteen who doesn't like Franco. And then on the last day in the airport lounge everyone's comparing sunburns, drinking Nasty Spumante, buying cartons of duty free "cigarillos" and using up their last pesetas on horrid dolls in Spanish National costume and awful straw donkeys and bullfight posters with your name on "Ordoney, El Cordobes and Brian Pules of Norwich" and 3-D pictures of the Pope and Kennedy and Franco, and everybody's talking about coming again next year and you swear you never will although there you are tumbling bleary-eyed out of a tourist-tight antique Iberian airplane...

Considering how the Queen in Alice was portrayed, do you think this was maybe intended as a subtle insult?

/Probably not
//I'd have offered her a flamingo and hedgehog instead of flowers, and ask if she wanted to play croquet

Kind of like the North rejoined the South after the Civil War.

/At least Washington, DC will be closer to the center of the nation again.

if so that would have likely been a reference to Queen Victoria no Elizabeth the 2nd

So the the King of England has agreed to stop walking into our US American homes any time he wants and shoving us around?

I don't mean the book was intended as an insult (maybe it was, I dunno), I mean having the current queen greeted by a girl dressed as a character from a work which portrays the queen as a psychopath.

Like, imagine if George W. Bush came around and everyone decided to pay tribute by dressing up as characters from 1984. "We thought this would help you feel at home."

Old King Cole
was a merry old soul
and a merry old soul was he

He called for his pipe
and he called for his bowl
and he smoked a big chunk of hash

The 6th Doctor's outfit wasn't nearly that subdued.

cgraves67: Is it me, or does she look appropriately dressed next to the Alice and Wonderland characters?

That's the loudest color I've ever seen on the queen. It's as though she planned ahead to stand out against the Mad Hatter because no one is supposed to upstage the queen.

Have you been to Orlando lately? The Brits have already overrun it... battling the Brazilians for control.

he hasn't ascended to the throne, but i'm sure he's higher in line for it then charles is

The queen will always be a gay canadian to me.

Jake Havechek: What is that? Raisin bread?

It appears to be but given the reputation of most British food I'm kinda afraid to ask what those little black bits are. Likely be something made from blood or something else insane.

I'd say horsebread, but horsebread isn't white. It's a mix of wheat, rye, and barley and sometimes had dried peas or beans in it.
