how bout illinois senate one?
hey hey, it’s not like I said “first”, is it?
No, you didn’t, and we appreciate that. It is just that nobody here had any response to what you did say.
I was just avoiding post bile about how I don’t want Bush near power again. That and he couldn’t afford Rod’s price tag.
Hey dude. That’s an effin valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing!
Ya, there is an idiot’s only sale on that chair because of its value.
yeah, he’d never have the money.
Who’re they in the pic, anyway? sry i’m rly bad with faces.
He’s standing between Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and wannabe queen Nancy Reagan.
Which one is the red headed skeleton on the right?
Dang, Nancy’s looking rough these days… must not be getting her daily quaff of innocent blood!
Poor vampire…
Nancy’s only 5 years older than HRH, but she looks a good 10 or 15 years older. I suspect part of that is the effects of trying to stay bone-skinny for years. You pay in the end, that’s for sure.
Yaaaa, in the end you are a bag of bones anyway. Why rush the process?
I was under the impression that she had a hyperthyroid
condition, like Graves Disease, but I can’t find a reference
to it.
Well she looks like the grave so that just might be it…
It was Barbara Bush who had Grave’s disease (and George HW, and Millie the dog as well, so it stuck in my memory).
IMHO Nancy is just too skinny. And dyes her hair too dark for her age.
Tell me if I’m right…..doesn’t HRH have an army of people at her beck and call who’s only job is keeping her healthy and young-looking? I seem to remember my mother telling me that HRH had her hair washed in half strength shampoo in order to keep it from stripping her hair, and other things like that. I’m sure not having that at Nancy’s beck and call doesn’t help, plus dealing with Reagan’s Alzheimer’s at the end was probably pretty taxing.

And I’m SURE the Queen has better genetics…………(insert family tree not branching joke here)
They inbreed and it preserves the genes. We have inbreeding and they are hicks in backwoods areas and trailer parks. I guess some inbred groups have better PR than others…
Well nobility and royal families would practice selective breeding, whereas the hicks in the backwoods would not be so careful (I assume anyway) so in the case of the royal family, because no new genes and introduced and the inbreeding would bring bad genes to light, those genes would be removed from the pool and the process continued. After so long they really must have some fantastic genes…
just a theory about the why of the PR.
Granted, they way some of the dropping of genes and so on is rather shocking by our standards, but i suppose that’s what happens when you have such old traditions. old culture, and new culture don’t like to mix.
Even with awesome genes, there are still recessive genes that pass through that can be just horrid if not countered by adding new blood to the tree. The joys of theory, I suppose.
You do have an excellent point in the difference though. Thank you.
Oh exactly, plus i think there was that issue with Haemophilia, ah yes queen victoria had it and it passed to many royal families because they are all interrelated somehow. I suppose it must have been treated by now, ut that is another big problem, at the time when the royal families were really ruling, it was the visible problems that popped up and were removed not things like blood problems.
That also makes me wonder if that is why the idea of people being married in was so taboo, well perhaps it was mostly the idea of thinning out the divine blood, but it’s curious the number of things human beings have done that have actually prevented some problem or another (granted they often screw up royally, and the problem might have been their own fault in the first place, but still)
I do have a special cruel little chuckle when I see royal families being stupid enough to kill themselves off. If only they knew, perhaps they would have elevated some peasants for some rich red blood in the genes. Lord knows they were screwing enough of them on the side…
The extra beauty of Haemophilia is that it made them easier for assassins to kill. Least that is the sick joke in my head right now.
I do feel a bit bad for the yougins, it’s not like they wanted it, and they haven’t learned all the nasty backstabbing ways of the family yet, still people can be rather stupid. the funny thing is rasputin was said to have helped thatever tsar had it, but really he just told them to stop giving the guy aspirin.
I dunno about making it easier for the assasins, i mean, if you’re hired for some regicide you’d probably want to be sure they’re dead before they would have a chance to die of bloodloss anyway
I like to think of it as insurance for the assassin since as long as he stabs them, they are pretty much screwed…
hmm true. ah poor royals…
God save the Queen? Pfft, that’s a pretty saved Queen. How about God attack the Queen with large bitey dogs and she will have to fight them and learn self reliance!
/paraphrased Eddie Izzard, Executive Transvestite.
The Bowes-Lyons have a nasty habit of not breeding ‘true’… Google up the ‘monster of Glamis’ :¬)
Ooooh, that was an interesting Wiki read. Thank you, Uncle Fester.
That was rather interesting. I do love folktales and such, just imagine all the good stories associated with this stuff *goes off to be a literature nerd*
In bed…
It was, in my opinion, why the Spencer ‘liaison’ was a necessity
I am having a history fail here, Fester, so bear with me. I assume you are inferring a mistress, which in the case of excessive inbreeding would be necessary to preserve the line in any usable form.
Diana, Princess of Wales. The woman to special to wear a seat belt.
Basically the Spencers are stable. So frighteningly stable that her brother looks like Charles II and his son, 400 years after the event.
*too
Fun…
Indeed… the royals used to be a lot more fun when they were slotting each other…
I suppose whatever serves as distraction can’t be too horrible.
@F. Hemophilia hasn’t been cured. It just came to various dead ends in the various royal families.
No I was under the impression that at least one strain has been cures, or they have found a suitable treatment. I was thinking that even if it were still prevalent within the genes, it isn’t as big a deal because there is a treatment for it.
Not a big deal… Until I Stab them!
well yes, stabbing is rather a problem in itself, but is there is treatment, they’d no longer need to worry over the clotting issue
Then I stab them again dammit!
“Hemophilia hasn’t been cured. ”
I’m not sure the word “cured” is strictly accurate, but wouldn’t hemophilia have been… phased out… in females hundreds of years ago? Not to be gross, but wouldn’t a female with hemophilia bleed to death the first time she got her period, thus ruling out any possibility of passing on the gene? Or am I missing something?
Menstruation isn’t exactly an open wound, Tessie. It’s the uterus sloughing off lining material that happens to be largely blood, but there’s no broken blood vessel that needs scabbing over.
Females carry the gene, they tend not to exhibit the disease. They pass it on to their children, but only the males actually SHOW the symptoms. The royal family of (Tsar Nikolas?) had a hemophillic son, and the daughters were said to be fine, except that they bled a little more than normal. It wasn’t the gushing blood that could happen if the son was cut.
OK, the science teacher has to chime in here. Hemophilia is on the X chromosome, and most women have 2 of those, so they are very unlikely to have the condition–almost always seen in males (who almost always only have the one X). The Tsar’s daughters were quite likely carriers, who would have a somewhat slowed clotting, but not to the point of illness.
There is a more rare condition, Von Willibrand’s disease, which is similar, and is equally seen in males and females (not on the X chromosome). The gals who have it have very looong menstrual periods (hard to make those clots to close off the ends of those pinched off uterine vessels (in addition to the usual excessive bruising and poor wound clotting). And those females frequently end up anemic as a result.
Hmm…perhaps a good point regarding the stress of her husband’s alzheimers. However, I think both these ladies have more money than you or I can imagine and probably have people helping out with the personal appearance. (Which, the half-strength shampoo, possibly not a bad idea and one any of us could easily do for ourselves!).
My main point was not particularly personal towards Nancy, more just a comment that women who spend their adult lives trying to remain skinny (which whether it was a big effort or not, Nancy was always skinny) tend to look increasingly haggard as they age. Also, it tends to leave you with osteoporosis.
Deny construction projects the materials needed to build and don’t be surprise when your building falls down early.
/fortune cookie
heh
That’s pretty hard-core for a fortune cookie. “In bed” looks odd on the end, too.
Naw, in bed fits perfectly if you’re thinking of euphamistically. As in, without the necessary prep work your “building” may “fall” early. In bed. *nudge nudge, wink wink*
It fits well, certainly – but it’s still odd.
Well it is why I don’t make fortune cookies. My fortunes would depress people or weird them out.
“You will soon be insulted by a fortune cookie, you vacuous toffee nosed malodorous pervert.” Damn! That fortune was eerily accurate!
With a penis.
Looking at Nancy, she’s had/has one of the following problems
1) too much surgery
2) ebola
3) mid term Parkinsonism
I believe it’s ebola. Or leprosy.
I am sticking with my underfed undead monstrosity theory.
…in bed.
With a penis and a nailgun.
Sounds like somebody’s getting nailed, one way or another.
Definitely not the undead monstrosity. I draw the line at lack of pulse, among other things. I have standards, after all.
With a penis and a nailgun.
And Nathan Fillion. (link!)
@DWN: Hmmm. Good point.
@Slan: Happiness is a Warm Gun.
“women who spend their adult lives trying to remain skinny (which whether it was a big effort or not, Nancy was always skinny) tend to look increasingly haggard as they age.”

Yeah, look at what’s her name, Ally McBeal. She used to be really pretty. Seen a recent picture of her?
Hyperthyroid ALWAYS leads to HYPOthyroid, cause the excitotoxicity kills off the Thyroid cells- so she cannot have stay hyper her whole life- she woudl swing, if she has the typical pituitary gland based thyroid issues…which are the ones that cause HYPER that I am aware of (was Dx with Hashimoto’s autoimmune Hypothyroid a few years ago so got a little obsessed with reading up on it- not an MD though, so this info is just what I gleaned form reading, could be wrong).
Let’s put him in the hot-seat.
Or in the ejector seat…
Hoping that room has no rooflight!
Hehe. I like his expression with this caption. Good job.
Indeed. LOL worthy for sure!
BTW, doesn’t excessive inbreeding eventually weaken the line? I’ve heard people say the healthiest breed of dog is a mutt because it doesn’t have all the inherent genetic weaknesses of a pure breed. But this may just be true for dogs…
True for most species, if not all that breed sexually. Cheetahs are facing issues because of their small breeding pool. Their gene pool is weakening because it is lacking diversity.
Well, yeah, look at Chester Cheetah. Although I think that may be due in part to nutritional deficiency. A diet of artificially flavored and colored corn puffs can’t be healthy for a carnivore.
Of course not. No Gazelle and damned if there is any wildebeest in it.
*dusts off brain cells*
*attempts to remember H.S. Biology*
I think what inbreeding does is to increase the chances of a recessive trait showing up in the offspring. If one of your grandparents has blue eyes (recessive), chances are slight that you will inherit them. If all four of them have blue eyes, chances are increased that you will inherit them (but still not 100% if you had a brown-eyed great-grandparent). Since your siblings and cousins are in the same gene pool, they’re likely to have have many of the same traits in common, so the likelihood of a recessive trait increases.
This becomes a problem, ick factor aside, when you have a person or an animal with a recessive trait that is detrimental to life or health (such as hemophilia). If you have two dogs that come from ancestors that have (for example) hip dysplasia, you want to avoid mating them so as to decrease the likelihood of the puppies inheriting that trait.
Anyone with more comprehensive knowledge of the subject, please feel free to jump in and correct me, kthx.
Looks like he’s trying to zip up and hopes no one notices.
Has the look of one of those laxative commercials…
where will you be when our laxative kicks in?
For Georgie here, it seems just as he is sitting between the Queen and Nancy Reagan.
Either that or the Peter Griffin’s UH OH!!! That could work too for those with Family Guy watching cred.
that was the first thing I thought of
Woot, I wasn’t alone! YAY!!!
To the Hindenpeter!
Couldn’t help myself.
*snicker*
To the petercopter!
I was wondering if any one else thought he had a number 2 look on him
Probably be a cheap shot to say, “Yeah – I was thinking that in about 2001…”
This was a good one!!! ITA that his expression and the caption are priceless. WIN!
You are the hieght of just-too-muchery.
Hey n8. Pay attention here, I LIKE THIS ONE. THE CAPTION FITS THE PICTURE.
My first thought was that Georgie Boy looked like one of the photos in that silly “Who Farted?” book.
Sry.
I hate to cross publicize, but did anyone see the above lol at the celebrity site?
I take back my previous question about bad/weak genes, now.
Oh, that’s a good one!!
…and she knows how to use it…
Poor George- an illegal alien took his seat!
You need to worry (you morons who endlessly put Bush down til you believed your own lies) that the other people who dont feel as you do will someday decide that YOU arent worth fighting for and protecting. On that day you will be dead meat for every ruthless maniac in the World and the funny thing will be that you WILL deserve it.
Pray that ’stupid’ people like Bush dont decide YOU arent part of their duty to save from YOUR own real stupidity.
On that day, arsewipe, you’re welcome to take your little inbred clique of thugs and secede from the union. We lying, cheating, cowardly net tax contributors will be happy to stand aside and let you go.
