Astounishing?

Both Astonishing and Astounding at the same time. Perfectly cromulent word.

Ooops! I even had to edit it once to correctly spell "title". Not my best day. The problem was, I kept wanting to call it Astounding X-Men, like the science fiction magazine Astounding, and that has stuck in my brain. I know I'll mess up again later.

We have U's, just the right amount. We don't have Homeland Security.

I'm just saying, humour and valour are good for you. You may want to consider putting Queen Elizabeth's picture on a bunch of official stuff too, just to be sure. It can't hurt (well, except aesthetically).

ETA: You might want to consider keeping the Astounishing thing. It could catch on. It looks kind of old scots-like to me, so it has a way-retro sort of appeal.

And look at some point this century you may get her grandson on your money and postage -- that's kind of a plus, right?

Only the good die young. QE II's going to outlive the Master.

I so almost made that crack yesterday.

Me tou.

Charles actually did his sons a favor by marrying late -- they aren't going to have to wait around forever for dad to kick off.

In the Ottoman system, Charles, Anne, and so on would have been off in a cage somewhere waiting for La Liz to die. Then when she died, they'd pick one and assassinate the others.

Think of all the tabloid stories we'd have been spared. Although we might have gotten "Queen sets Corgis on Errant Child" instead.
