Show me your title!

[Angeline]

On Friday England's Prince William will marry the commoner with the great legs, Kate Middleton. So if you were to attend the big do, what would be your royal wedding guest name?

Don't know your royal wedding guest name? Oh there's a method! Begin with either Lord or Lady. Follow that with the first name of one of your grandparents. Then create your surname by combining the name of your first (or favorite) pet with a hyphen and the name of the street where you lived when you were a kid (if you moved, pick one). This Friday please address me (if you address me) as:

Lady Rose Shakespeare-Hobart​

(Gee it sounds so not Jewish....maybe I should have used the other granny's name. Then I'd be Lady Mamie Shakespeare-Hobart. And if I used the name of my very first pet I'd be Lady Mamie BeeBee-Hobart. Hey, I didn't name that first dog!)

Feel free to respond, hijack, write poems or whatever strikes your fancy. I'm just happy to have a brief break from a big editing job, so pardon my silliness.

Fondly,
Lady Rose Shakespeare-Hobart

I would be Lord Hubert Inchen, Baron of Ham.

If I was totally honest, our first pet was a dark brown spaniel, which my grandfather, who belonged to a politically less correct generation named N---er!

Inchen was a runt piglet which I reared. When she was very small she competed with her many larger siblings for one of her mothers teats. An old man who worked on the farm for my dad, would look over the wall of the sty and say, in a broad West Country dialect, "Look at the li'l varmint, she'm inchen forr'ad, she'm inchen forr'ad (she is inching forward)... 'er be a goodun (she is a good one)

 

[oggbashan]

I don't need to derive one.

I am Og, King of Bashan.

But I have been dead for several thousand years so I can't attend the wedding.

In my alter ego as King Henry VIII, I am King of England, Defender of the Faith (that's ironic because it was the Roman Catholic faith I was defending - Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second still retains that title, shown as F.D. {Fidei Defensor} on her coinage) Seigneur of the Channel Islands, Lord of Man, etc. etc. But he's dead too.

Are you related to the Duke of Earl?

That's ok. I'll take you any way I can, o numbered one.

Lord Edwin Candide-Pembina at your service, Lady Rose.

*curtseys* (ignoring creaking kneees) Candide is a great name for a pet. Or a Lord.

Lord who gives a shit from the county of Apathy

You'll do just fine here.

You've always had a kingly air to you. Well, to me, you have. Those avatars do work on one's mind.

Lady Honeybee from Normandy

Pleased to meetcha Lady Bee.

Lord Jackson Timple-King.
That's right, I'm a mouthful any way you put it.

I'm so happy you're around again that I'll just tiptoe past that double entendre.

PS And don't mess with me, man. I know your blues name, too!

Now that is a good sounding title, m'lady. Very melifluous.

[bronzeage]

Are you related to the Duke of Earl?

He and I share a great grandfather, Prince Doowop IV

I love doowop. It is the romantic music of my childhood. Do thank the Prince for me.

No unlike the title holder.

 

[champagne1982]

Dame Hilda of The Lakeland. .. Yes, that's right! I was accosted by a sword-bearing monarch and now am be-Knighted.

M'lords and ladies of the PoBo Court, 'tis not everyone who wears the Order of the Pantyhose (as opposed to those wanna-be's, those of the Garter -- snakes, all of 'em) and I'm proud to run the standard (right up me leg).<curtsey=on> Pleased to meetcha: </curtsey_off>

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Allow me to introduce myself (usually a liveried flunky would do it but I'm not above the occasional slumming) - I am Hilda, Baroness of Barnstable, you may call me Your Ladyship.

We lost the Fourth Prince in a duel after someone questioned his manhood. His manhood's answer was misunderstood and a lady took offense. The Principality was subdivided and I am Lord and Protector of all lands south of Interstate Highway 10. The thing sort of runs itself, so other than listening to serf's petitions, there is not much to do.

Good morning your Ladyship and Baroness. Lovely day for a wedding...um if you don't sleep through it.

 

[butters]

did you like her dress?

 

[champagne1982]

did you like her dress?

Maybe? I've only caught brief glimpses since I elected sleep over whoop-dee-doo weddings. I've seen only the front of her veil and if she spent more than 20£ on that, then the crooks saw her coming.


OH! Two Canadian Hilda's... What are the odds?

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Ooopsie-daisy. I must have been distracted, had to buff up my coronet don'tcha know. However I can't think of a better Dame to double up with.

Pippa stole the show IMO as well as Harry's rather obvious attention. I thought Philip was having a ball flirting with Camilla while Liz looked on sourly.
