Ha!! Make marijuana legal. Ban "reality" television. I totally agree!
Oooooo, these are good too. Can I do some when *I* get to be Queen?
Oh wait. I'm going to be Emperor.
This was a great list. I think you're my new girlcrush. :)
This why we made you Queen. My favorite: 'Declare mandatory half-hour breaks for people on swing shifts to watch the sun set and people on graveyard to watch the sun rise.'
Reign on!
I'm with you Tiel. You're going to need a court jester, tho...
May I humbly volunteer?
You get my vote!
(but you have to promise not to wear any of those silly "Queen Elizabeth" hats).
Weed isn't legal??? HUH what...It's been legal in my house since the inception of Blackgrave law 101!....And I agree on the chocolate as well! Dick Cheney should be placed in a dunking booth of molten lava with Roger Clemens doing the throwing!
A cute list, and serious too :)
Ya Haqq!
Oh, goody! Oh, goody! Turn off Las Vegas hit my funniest bone. I didn't know violets were being herbicided. Dang.
I could make you laugh. I promise. Do check out my Wordless Wednesday this past week. Think "banana slug." Love "Call my mother."
so fare every post i have read has been by a woman, and the subjecr matter is the same...with wonderful funny twists and some very touching sentiment.
Perhaps we need a ruling group of womyn an odd number of course.
Very well done.
All good things indeed. If I became king or queen that first thing I would do would be to abdicate. But then I am notoriously lazy.
Just speeling reform? How about grammer and syntax? Hell, lets just get rid of the whole damn confusing language...
Tumblewords, I think she's serious about Las Vegas. It's kinder than my position which is "Move the Nevada Nuclear Test Site to half a mile above the Strip and do a series of multi-megaton explosions."
