It does. I've rented out the first disc and I'm sitting watching it with my daughter just now. She's enjoying it, which gives me a better reason to buy the box set. It seems to stand up pretty well. Used to have the books, wish I'd kept them.
Watching Cigars of the Pharaoh just now.

Royal mail sounds a bit pretentious.

I was going to beat the postman up today Xavi but I was half dressed and half asleep, and I figured a wild looking girl in mens pyjamas flying out the door and smacking about a retarded looking postman might raise some eyebrows.
So I just signed for the parcel. |

On my mind:
fbc, because that was some weird stuff we did with that cat late last night
broken face, because i just saw a license plate that read "86 Mets" (brian, can you explain?)
denis, because according to people magazine, charlie and denise are getting back together. does that mean he rulz or no longer rulz?

I don't think royalty is something to be proud of. No, not even the british one.

Poor Kitty.
What's on Sir Rock's mind:
Go biking, or finish history essay?
You run all kinds of red lights except the ones on the street.
When you run out of exits you can always count sheep. |

Americans do have royalty - check out Burke's Peerage, the official genealogy website. Something like 43 of US presidents are blood descendants of Charlemagne and the race between Gore and Bush was notable for being the one with the biggest amount of aristocratic genes in a long time. Here's a Reuters newswire a month before the presidential selection:
LONDON (Reuters) - If royal genes have anything to do with electoral success, then Republican U.S. presidential candidate George W. Bush will be the next man in the White House, Britain's blue blood bible said Tuesday. Burke's Peerage, a revered guide to the breeding of the aristocracy, said both Bush and his rival Al Gore are of royal descent, but investigations deep into their heritage show Bush has far more noble and royal connections.
Bush is closely related to every European monarch on and off the throne -- including the King of Albania -- and has kinship with every member of Britain's royal family, the House of Windsor.
He is a 13th cousin of Britain's Queen Mother, and of her daughter Queen Elizabeth and is a 13th cousin once removed of the heir to the throne, Prince Charles.
Bush's family tree can be documented as far back as the early 15th century.
He has a direct descent from Henry III and from Henry VIII's sister Mary Tudor, who was also the wife of Louis XI of France. He is also descended from Charles II of England.
"WELL ENDOWED"
"It is now clear that Mr. Gore and Mr. Bush have an unusually large number of royal and noble descents," said Harold Brooks-Baker, publishing director of Burke's Peerage.
"In point of fact, never in the history of the United States have two presidential candidates been as well endowed with royal alliances."
Brooks-Baker said there had always been a significant "royalty factor" in those who aspired to the White House, with Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, among others, all boasting blue blood links.
Democrat candidate Gore, who is currently lagging Bush by one point in opinion polls ahead of U.S. elections in November, has a less illustrious gene pool.
Being a descendant of Edward I, he is also a cousin of former U.S. president Richard Nixon, who resigned from the White House in 1974 for his part in the Watergate scandal.
But Gore does have direct links to the holy Roman Empire.
He is a descendant of Roman Emperors Louis II, Charles II and Louis I and is therefore also a direct descendant of Charlemagne -- the eight-century Emperor.
The problem is, Gore's Charlemagne links also make him a cousin of George W. Bush.

Sir Rock should be pulling up his grades and thinking about college admissions
essays.

Don't you worry about Sir Rock, floopie. I'm gonna set him straight when I see him in a few weeks. I'll give him a Number 2 pencil, a Stanley Kaplan tutorial, get him thinking about which college he ought to be considering for early admission. He's gonna be all about academics by the time I'm through with him.

That will be Brian. When the three of us go to the Across the Narrows gig together Oct. 1, Brian will be the bad influence and I will be the good influence.
Just like when Brian and I met up at the Newport Folk Festival. Brian, bad; Kathryn, good.

The kid's in high school, we're talking college, which is where people go to get laid. I'm simply doing my best to ensure he gets laid by smart chicks.

The possesion of a number two pencil is a sure fire strategy for getting into a good school? Hmmm, Sir Rock may need a new academic advisor. |

Universities are brainfarms. I've heard some of Mike's songs, sounds like all he needs to earn a bit of bread and get laid by independentminded chicks.
