"The King is dead. Long live the King! King Corona that is. The job's open and we think you should apply for it. Send them your resume. Wait..better not. Just tell them...free beer for everyone, your middle name is Mohammed, you will deport all Russian immigrants, you are a founding member of the First Nations' Dang Wangi tribe, one of you friends is a Bhuddist, you are taller than everyone, you have all of your teeth (kings in waiting can lie just like a politician), you will reduce the size of you harem to 2000 or so, and most importantly you are well qualified as an elder. KING CORONA...doesn't that sound a lot better than just plain mister? By the way, your picture of those motorbikes humping that Daiwoo pickup truck is informative. We have always wondered where those three wheeled vehicles they use over there came from!"
That may have been one of the best comments I ever received!
They are firing up the toaster as I write this...we are listening to Van Morrison's "Standing on the threshold"...best of luck to old kingy!
Watched the Super Bowl this morning...the monks were wearing their 49'er robes...
...you can't see it, but the guy in the back had a ghetto blaster...and they were all doing the stroll to "GLORIA"...
...the crowd was digging it! Even the dignitaries got the cops to honk their horns and flash their lights...
...but alas, the 49'ers fell short, so the cops cleared everyone out...except for this one woman...
...she was the head of the 49'er cheerleaders...as you can tell by the hat...below is the Ravens cheerleader...they call them fruitheads here...
...and the sun goes down on Super Bowl Monday. Tomorrow, off to somewhere only locals can pronounce.
PS Here are a couple of late additions to the day...cannons...ya...really vintage 1940's cannons with white wall tires!!!
...and this is what it looked like when they shoot them off at night...
