There's Something About Harry
Decided I should get back to doing a topical humor piece (otherwise I'd do "Know Thy Enemy: Self Moves"). Having trouble getting my groove back with the current news, though. I could do a "Know Thy Enemy: Tsunamis," but I realized one of the fun facts would be, "Since so many people died from the tsunami, you shouldn't make jokes about tsunamis." Too bad; an Aquaman vs. a Tsunami fight would be pretty interesting. For other topics, there's the Social Security issues, but that's just the same old rhetoric that's been flying back and forth since FDR. There's the hearing about Alberto Gonzales and torture, but I got lost on what was said and of what importance any of it is. There was how Barbara Boxer delayed the certification of Bush's reelection by two hours, but that hardly seemed worth mentioning. Finally, there is the continuing trouble in Iraq, but that's not funny. So there is only one thing left: the issue of Prince Harry wearing a Nazi uniform. Now, most would say that anything involving the royal family is, by definition, unimportant, but I think this is worth mentioning because of the issues involved. First, I would like to congratulate CNN for including this paragraph: The Nazis murdered 6 million Jews and millions of others including Poles, homosexuals, Soviet prisoners and Gypsies. Millions more were imprisoned or forced to work as slaves. Now anyone who reads the article and never heard of the Nazis knows that they're bad. Not patronizing at all. Kudos. Anyhoo, here are the pertinent points to this story: * The Nazis are bad. * Dressing up as the Nazis is bad because it makes you look like a Nazi who is bad and might make people think you support the Nazis which would make you bad. * It would be funny if Prince Harry had long hair and a beard so we could all jokingly call him Prince "Hairy." * Actually, it would be funnier if his name was Larry, because, with his name being Harry, no one would know when you're jokingly calling him "Prince Hairy." * I still haven't finished my first cup of coffee this morning and already lost my place. Anyway, I think the suggestion of sending Prince Harry to Auschwitz is too harsh. In such a forced labor camp, he would most likely die. Instead, I think he should brought out to the public square where, in front of everyone, the queen smacks him in the back of his head with her royal scepter while loudly proclaiming him a "dumbass." Now, why was Prince Harry dressed as a Nazi? Apparently he was at the birthday part for a friend Harry Meade (Harrys have to stick together) and it seemed logical to come as a Nazi. Now, if my mead was ever hairy, I'd say, "Bring me new mead, or I shall cut thee down!" That is so more elegant than "I'll blow your @$%& brains out!" I wish I were in medieval times. No, wait; they didn't have HDTV back then. I don't think they had blogs back then either, but, if they did, it would just be the Glenn Reynolds quoting scripture and commenting "Forsooth." Also, he'd be much angrier having to churn his puppies instead of blend them. I'm getting more coffee. 23 Responses To "There's Something About Harry"
ROFL. oh, Sweetie, you're hysterical when you've not had caffeine. and after, but before, you're just all over the place, and i heart that!! #1 - Posted by: sarahk on January 13, 2005 09:36 AMsarahk may think you're funny with coffee b/c you heart her, but i think you are funny b/c it is a supernatural power that comes with sacramental graces. hehe. i'm a catholic too. #2 - Posted by: Caroline E. on January 13, 2005 09:53 AMsarahk may think you're funny with coffee b/c you heart her, but i think you are funny b/c it is a supernatural power that comes with sacramental graces. hehe. i'm a catholic too. #3 - Posted by: Caroline E. on January 13, 2005 09:53 AMGood thing for Harry that princes aren't elected. He'd be recalled. #4 - Posted by: spacemonkey on January 13, 2005 10:05 AMyeah he would. and thank goodness it's sweet William who's in line after Charles for the throne. #5 - Posted by: sarahk on January 13, 2005 10:15 AM*Sigh* Prince Wills *Sigh* Oh, wait, I'm old enough to be his mother. Almost. Maybe an older sister. *Sigh* #6 - Posted by: DixieDarlin' on January 13, 2005 10:29 AMOh leave the poor boy alone people! He is harmless. Wait until he is out of his harmless prank stage and has some real ideas. That could be real fun. #7 - Posted by: Elvenbane on January 13, 2005 10:33 AMDefinitely need more caffeine. #8 - Posted by: aelfheld on January 13, 2005 10:49 AMyou had me dying with the "quoting scripture and commenting 'Forsooth'" thing. hilarious. churning puppies. He should really link to you for that one. #9 - Posted by: prolix on January 13, 2005 10:52 AMWills went to the party dressed as a lion, I am wondering though, was it Simba, Mufasa, or the cowardly lion from Wizard of Oz? Just trying to get my lions in a row here. As for Harry, he is getting quite tarring isn't he, much like Cartman when he dressed as a klan member for halloween, all a mistake folks, won't happen again! #10 - Posted by: Oddybobo on January 13, 2005 10:56 AMActually, Cartman dressed as Hitler for Halloween, and the principal made him watch a video on why dressing up as Hitler isn't cool. Then she made him a ghost costume which ended up looking like a KKK outfit (as the KKK orginially claimed to be ghosts when they dressed; don't know what's up with the pointy heads, though - probably same reason the Hate-Filled Left wears a pointy hat though I don't know what that is). #11 - Posted by: Frank J. on January 13, 2005 11:00 AMBut lions have killed probably many more people than the Nazis in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere. I think it is Prince William who should apologize. Think of all the people throughout the centuries who have lost family members to those prowlers in the night. Be more sensitive, people! Harry wasn't even dressed up like Hitler, he was dressed as Gen. Rommel. Seriously, though, it was probably in bad taste. But should nobody dress up like Ghengis Kahn or Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden, or any other mass-murdering fuckhead for a costume party? Aren't they all in bad taste? #12 - Posted by: MobileSuitPilotX on January 13, 2005 11:05 AMHow dare you take the piss out of our Royal familiy! That is the exclusive right of us Brits. It's our birthright. You lost that right by winning the War of Independence. Only we, Her Majesty's loyal subjects, are allowed to take the piss out of Her family. Wars have started for less! ;) #14 - Posted by: Bandits, 5 o'clock on January 13, 2005 11:11 AMI wonder what Alton Brown and the other folks at Food Network would say about this... Bandits - If you start a war with us, be sure to tell us, so we can notice...oh, wait, that would be the French. We would notice you guys. Kick your a$$es, sure - but we would notice. #16 - Posted by: Parker on January 13, 2005 11:47 AMIt took you this long to realize you'd lost your place? I'm betting some noticed as far back as the first Clinton Jihad--er, administration. #17 - Posted by: Jeff H on January 13, 2005 12:26 PMI think there have always been blogs. Prehistoric ones looked like cave paintings. Everyone came by and posted comments in the form of animals biting the host in the buttocks, much like we treat Frank J. #18 - Posted by: Plea Deal on January 13, 2005 12:43 PMRight. Everyone to England now! I would like either to see Harry re-enact the pineapple scene from little nicky as punishment or get really pissed, travel to France with Manchester United rowdies and beat the crap out of some frogs! 'ay! #19 - Posted by: Connecticut Yankee on January 13, 2005 04:26 PMForsooth. Aah, that takes me back... Bandits, :P #20 - Posted by: Tuning Spork on January 13, 2005 11:11 PMMeh, what with that survey in the UK, perhaps they need to be patronizing. "the Glenn Reynolds." Classic. #21 - Posted by: Adrianne Truett on January 14, 2005 09:56 AMI hate to be a party pooper here but Harry was dressed as Irwin Rommel. Besides being guilty of bad taste Harry is also ignorant about his costume. That isn't a Nazi "uniform". That's not an official armband and his collar tabs are incorrect. As someone who studies history and actually owns an Afrikan Korp uniform this is doubly offensive! #23 - Posted by: T.E.C. on January 15, 2005 10:10 PMPost a comment
