Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is my favorite Prince bit:
Prince William replied: "No, don't but you can take the horrible glasses away."
Charles said: "Do not be rude about my glasses, I couldn't bear it if you were."
Aww.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Has somebody been reading Roald Dahl this week?
No. I just have certain parts memorized.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
That was my favorite bit, too, lori.
Although I don't know what happens with a lamppost at a stag party, either.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm sure there are very good, very practical reasons for using snozzwhanger rather than spade.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's some of the most human I've read Charles to be, despite some awkward phrasing.
Compared to tampon-gate he's Noel Coward.

What is even happening?
"Begging the question" (BTQ) is a form of logical fallacy in which an argument is assumed to be true without evidence other than the argument itself. (e.g. "He's dumb because he's stupid and it's so because I said so.")
I think that piece is wrong. I know the above is true, but then you use the BTQ phrase to point out what is still unexplained. Take the example from that web page: "He's dumb because he's stupid and it's so because I said so."
It's appropriate to say to that, "Dumb can be taken as synonymous with stupid. Your statement begs the question, why do you believe he is stupid?" You can say "that begs the question" because the person didn't offer proof in his argument and you are trying to get to the point of the issue.
So says I.
Pbbbblt.

So, you're begging the question.
