[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

This is making me inappropriately happy.
Also, 1000s of extra roses - so I have roses on my desk.
How long was the British royal family German?
Wasn't William of William and Mary German? Or at least Dutch?
He was Dutch.
Ummm, the first George was the Elector of Hanover.

Nice.
But the Royal family has been mostly German for ... well, it seems ever.
1714 in point of fact, when the Elector of Hanover was invited to become George I of Great Britain. There were several heirs with a closer blood claim to the throne, but none of them were Protestant. He was a great-grandson of James I on his mother's side, but other than that was pretty much pure German.
And AFAIK there's no Hapsburg in the British royal family, but I'm really only an expert up till about 1820.
Huh. Apparently my toaster has an alarm that goes off when something gets stuck in it and it can't pop back up.
Unfortunately, it didn't let me know soon enough to save the bagel from being completely black and also setting off the smoke detector.
