Happy Victoria Day!


For Canadians too, it's ALL about having a paid day off work when it comes to celebrating the Royal Family. And today is a favourite statutory holiday in Canada -- Victoria Day! So let's go camping, have a BBQ and drink beer! "Queen Who?" Who cares?

But we should feel sympathy for Victoria's unfortunate descendant, Queen Elizabeth II. It's hard to be Queen these days. The world is so full of upstart wannabes --


Even poor little Prince George isn't safe from the mockers and pretenders.


But even if the Queen doesn't like our disrespectful attitudes, she can't stay downhearted for long . . .


. . . because she has a cunning plan! Yikes!


So all together now, let's hear a rousing chorus of --

    The last photo left me with a distinct desire to cough up a hairball.

    Thank you for your kindness Debra.

    Wow, that guy...That guy has enough body/facial hair to cover every square inch of his body. There aren't enough lasers in the world to help that Sasquatch. Wait, is that guy Sasquatch!?! Also, unrelated, the Freddy Mercury one caught me in the smiles.

    funny how they celebrate the queen who was worse than Hitler and who enslaved and then exploited half of the world and killed dozens of millions.. but since she's a Western ruler... nobody notices this....

    The dude who shaved his chest into the flag is the manliest act of patriotism I've ever seen. The best part about the royal wedding was indeed that it was a paid day off. I didn't even watch it. Enjoy your time off though.

    I love that costume. So creative. What I don't love is that shorn hairsweater. Dude looks like a yeti that got attacked by a lawnmower.

    By the way, I find the man-scaping trend kind of ridiculous, but if that last guy was my son, I'd drive him to the salon myself. Dang.

    Retaking the Colonies is my favourite. I've heard that every time she visits the US, it is protocol to invite them back into the Commonwealth. Of course she's not holding a weapon when she makes the offer.

    Enjoy your day off dear!

    I think we'll never get bank holidays, but they might all close soon!

    In Québec we celebrate la Fête des patriotes. Before it was something else. Good, because I don't like any queen, except those played by Cate Blanchett.

    I didn't realize until mid morning why so many Canadians were stopping in to shop. Then I looked at the calendar. Personally, I wouldn't mind being a British subject. After all, me mum was a Brit.

    This post is hilarious, except the last photo makes me feel a little bit like throwing up. I want a Victoria Day. I saw one of her bonnets in a museum. It was so small. Does that mean she had a very small head because she had a very small brain? I don't intend my question to be an insult to royalty. It's mere curiosity.

    Love,

    Beer AND wine for me, plus sitting around a fire! No camping though .. I'm too old to sleep on the ground.

    I do love the May long though. Always makes me laugh when it snows (like it did again this year) and I remember all those good times when the tent roof caved in from the white stuff. :)

    Haha, this is great! I live in America, but I'd always heard nobody really cared about the royal family all that much.

    I think we here in America might be better off if she did retake the colonies.
