May 14, 2007 at 6:48 pmAnother hilarious snide remark. Your Queen series should definitely continue. One nitpick though; I would think that the Queen would say, "What issues should the CROWN address" instead of saying the monarchy.

Notes:
Just one of those silly columns that amuse me and, I think, no one else. The idea of Queen Elizabeth visiting a chatroom appeals to me, and the notion of a modern queen beheading people amuses me to no end.
This being a newspaper, and I having some standards, I couldn't let the chatroom get as filthy and suggestive as it would in real life.
"Amnesia Sparkle" was a drag-queen contestant's name on "American Idol," "Monkey Boy" is what I call my friend Randy, "Nursferatu" is what the "Mystery Science Theater" gang called a particularly grim-looking nurse, "Swein29" is a play on the name of a real friend of mine who's always talking about pot, "Frim Fram Sauce" is a song that Ryan Starr sang on the aforementioned "American Idol," and I think the rest are just random Internet-style names.
I originally had the queen's screen name as "QueenEII." Then I realized it should be "QueenE2," since so many screen names have numerals in them. Alas, I thought of this too late for The Daily Herald's deadlines, so "QueenEII" is how it appeared in print.
