Oh boy, today was the big
Royal Wedding! Pomp! Circumstance! Monarchy! Sixth in line for The Throne! Significance!
I watched only a few minutes of it on the HBO "broadcast," anchored by the always insightful
Cord and Tish (aka Will Ferrel and Molly Shannon). Their parody commentary was perfect for such a silly waste of time and money. Here's what I learned:
"In England, they call breakfast Brexit."
"A macaroon is an English cookie which is remarkably flavorless but still beautiful in appearance."
"This is only the second time in the long history of the British monarchy that a commoner has married into the Royal Family. The first was, of course, when Gwyneth Paltrow married Chris Martin from the band Cold Cuts."
"And as thousands of onlookers stare at this rolling tea set, we've come to a lull in the proceedings. So please join me, Tish, in singing the theme to Sanford and Son."
"Everything about horses makes me nervous -- their round feet, their wet noses, their bigness!"
