The Queen is Dead!

Massively self righteous to boot

the point is The Queue itself tho obviously, and not the royal audience with a box
the longer it is the more people want to do it

It's definitely Delilo, I just can't work out if it's more like the most photographed barn in America, which everyone photographs cos it's the most photographed - or is it more like the really expensive house he buys where the sheer point of buying something that expensive is to have bought something that expensive, you pay for a bigger number to show that you can afford a bigger number.

Is it true the box is empty? I've heard people say that it must be cos otherwise she would be rotting away in there. They are hardly going to tell us though are they so I guess no-one will know unless someone rips it open and reveals that schrodinger's queen is naked (to mix my metaphors somewhat).

she's in there, but inside a large Ziploc plastic baggie to preserve freshness.

No doubt she's been to some extent preserved. Embalmed, that's the word. Perhaps even mummified. Or Ma'amified.



Ma'am-ra the Ever-living!

You gotta see it as the end of, say, Nightmare on Elm Street 5 or something - yes we know Freddy has returned from defeat four times, of course it would be naive to think he is destroyed forever, and yet, it is a victory of sorts, the evil will be dormant for now and we are safe along with our peers, when she returns for Hallowqueen 6 it will be a new generation of sexy teenagers who have to do battle with her.

 

[Mr. Tea]

The Ruling Ring cut from her finger, seemingly vanquishing her - but foolishly kept as an heirloom, instead of being prudently destroyed.

 

[IdleRich]

Finally someone who has managed to properly grasp the true gravity of the situation

 

[IdleRich]

What's going on, is he taking the piss? Serious hypothesis here; could it be that after the constant barrage from all directions about how important this is, with it being the only thing on the telly and the radio, and the only thing anyone talks about or thinks about and so on, maybe he had something like a mental breakdown caused by the boredom and enforced repetitive forelock-tugging, perhaps his brain collapsed and whatever was left was filled with this one idea that has been drilled into his brain until it collapsed, and that is, to him, the most important thing in the world.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I'm sure we've all seen the Twitter clever-dicks calling the BBC 'MournHub', yes?

(No, I am definitely *not* annoyed that I didn't think of that one first, OK?)

[Mr. Tea]

@sufi can we ban embedding and linking to tweets please?

@sufi can we make it impossible to post UNLESS you are linking to a tweet?

 

[Clinamenic]

@sufi can we integrate Lens Protocol so that virtually everything about this messageboard can be tokenized, in order to extend the reach of the invisible hand?
