Workin' on Our Knight Moves
Sir Francis Drake is only one of many to go through that special time in a man's life when he becomes a knight. What are some of the steps in a knighting ceremony?
* The honoree is blindfolded and driven in an ivory carriage to Knight Court.
* He is dressed as his favorite animal and escorted down the aisle by a priest dressed as Sherlock Holmes.
* He recites the Knight's Pledge, which includes vowing to "protect English pies cooling on windowsills and fight any and all invading Dragonhearts."
* The Queen then touches his shoulders with a ceremonial sword and says "Arise, Sir -- you knight you," while smiling into the camera.
I'm having lunch (Farmhouse salad from Potbelly) and watching FNL. Damn this is intense!
I'm so excited that FNL is waiting for me on my Tivo! WOOT.
Today's Denver Groupon is for a one day, Amazing Race style, all city challenge thing. If I had a better working knowledge of Denver and public transportation there, I'd be up for it. Two person teams, must complete 10 out of a possible 30-40 challenges, with a ton of teams competing.
Suzi, that sounds super fun.
It's okay, perkins. I am listening to Shakespeare so all is good. I love Hamlet so much.
I did that in Chicago a few years ago. It was a blast.
Ha! Kara would have a whole lecture about how Irish Channel is NOT Garden District, nor Lower Garden District. I don't care as much, so I'll spare you.
She needs to lecture Google maps. When I clicked the map link in Nora's link it came up with "Garden District" right above the locater arrow.
Animals in the news.
Lots of cute pictures, but insectophobes might want to avoid. (Especially #11).
