1. Quick question :

Why is she called " Pickles " ?

[BiggJawn]

2. Quicker answer: Unknown. Pet Name

n.t

[curse10]

3. Maybe that's how she smells?

:7

[emad]

4. Those facial expressions that look like there's always a

gherkin/salted saveloy/pickled parsnip in her mouth?

(Maybe it's just a DU tradition - or something from 'The Simpsons'?)

[Wolfman 11]

7. My unofficial answer:

I believe it is because of the booze she consumed in those blissful years between GW actually realizing he OWNED the Texas Rangers, and when he decided to run for governor of a state that he didn't know anything about. My state. Goddamnit, give me my state back you fuckheaded New England-raised crackchild!

Sorry. To answer your question, it is because she is a stuck-up society bitch who doesn't think she has to answer for her years of alcholism and silently supporting a drug addict, and is too dumb to question reality.

[Wolfman 11]

11. sorry, I got carried away.

but I'm not really sorry.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

22. LOL at all the answers !

They all make sense :) !

[BringEmOn]

42. Not to mention

vehicular homocide.

[Drifter]

33. I don't know ...

but she is also referred to as "Door Knob" to reflect her intellectual capacity.

Still makes me chuckle.

5. where did the queen get the hat?

from the madhatter?

[rooboy]

6. Dame Edna Everage claims to advise Her Majesty on fashion. n/t

[are_we_united_yet]

9. HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!

LOL

[emad]

12. It's left over from bonfire night

her maj is a canny re-cycler....

[terrya]

8. That has to be a BIG thrill for Her Majesty.

Wow...having George and Laura come to visit. Boy, oh boy, is SHE lucky. Finally, she can abdicate. Knowing that she's met OUR royalty.

(sarcasm abounds in this post, of course)

[are_we_united_yet]

10. She looks thrilled don't she?

Mad Hat and all.

[Bronco69]

13. I swear

Pickles is one of the frumpiest women I think I've ever seen! Look at those shoes! Who would wear beige? If she's trying to win the trailer park vote, she's definately got it!

[Wolfman 11]

14. Frumpy indeed.

her shoes look like an extension of her legs and her face looks like a trained gorilla. i guess that comes from being married to the world's most famous chimpanzee idiot for decades on end. again, I cringe at the thought that my state somehow spawned these subhuman pieces of hollow matter.

[Bronco69]

16. I'm in TX too.

I've only met a handful of people who like him here. Does Pickles shop at WalMart?

[Wolfman 11]

17. I doubt she shops anywhere.

She doubtless has minions of servants to do all her bidding, but they probably get sent to designer dresshops that emulate WalMart's designs and charge 1000% more. Taste is definitely not a priority in the Bush presidency.

[Bronco69]

20. Looks like she ripped

the drapes off the window at the Days Inn and sewed a little frock before she was whisked over to the palace to meet Liz and the boys.

[MarianJack]

32. 2 Things

1 That's why I refered to her as the "First Frump" in a previous post.

2 Please don't blame us New Englanders for bush jr. We here in Maine (and every other New England state except NH) voted for Gore! I can tell you that I don't think that Maine will vote for the a**h*le next year, either!

I DO like your outrage at this monster in the white house!

[MaineDem]

27. Actually the shoes are the right color

I attended a "fashion" seminar once and we were told that two things should match: your dress and your hose, or your hose and your shoes, for example. And never wear "suntan" pantyhose. Looks like Laura got that memo but the Queen didn't. :)

[ClintonTyree]

15. Pickles.............

Because she always looks like she's just sucked on a sour dill pickle. The way she purses her lips/mouth. Looks like she's made a dress out of the draperies again.

[emad]

19. She once gave this interview in the UK about her dress sense

saying she's indebted to Barbara Bush for her sartorial advice and was going to hire Barb's dressmaker Skasi....or is it Stasi (think that's what the east german equivalent of the KGB was called before unification...) Maybe it was Kazi - UK vernacular for 'lavatory'...

[liberalmuse]

18. Oh god, she IS wearing pearls...

just like her harridan mother-in-law. Other than that, and the stupid accessory she has to her right, I'd say Pickles is nicely turned out. I'll give her props when she doesn't wear those hideous, wrinkled polyester pant suits.

[Dudley_DUright]

21. This picture also brings up that burning question of the British Monarchy:

What does the Queen have in her purse and why does she need to carry one anyway? Car keys - nope, check book - nope, change for the parking meter - nope (you get the idea)...

[emad]

23. Personal attack button and aerosol of mace?

?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

24. Probably contains her book of reasons

why she probably won't let Charles succeed the throne after her . ( I think he would be an okay King ... :: runs quickly away :: )

[MaineDem]

28. I just saw her on the BBC

They went inside the palace and she opened her purse and removed her glasses! So at least we know that's one thing in there.

Her platinum Amex card?

[hlthe2b]

38. In the queen's purse.............

CONDOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ya never know when you'll get lucky):evilgrin:

[ajacobson]

40. LOL

I would like to know what she has in there!!

[onebigbadwulf]

25. She's working on her queen mom look

"mmmyeeeees"

"we are not amuuuused"

[emad]

36. She said on UK primetime that she liked to emulate the old

Queen Mom......

Herman Goering must be tumescent in his grave....

[Ellen Forradalom]

26. Better dressed than usual

Not too happy looking, but the suit is appropriate and fits better than her usual attire.

[underpants]

29. Left to right:Couch endtable couch

:bounce:

[peekaloo]

30. promo pic for 'The Cat in the Hat' featuring Thing 1 & Thing 2.

Prince of Dimnitude looks like his knees are locked and he's about to do a face plant.

[ronnykmarshall]

31. Laura looks nice, I think.

(running away from incoming flames)

It's a nice dress and her hair looks pretty. I like the highlights.

But what the hell is up with Queen Liz's hat??? She got one of them little dogs of hers under it?

[Tinoire]

35. Yeah... Everything is fine - except for that face

Someone get the woman either a drink or a plastic surgeon.

The clothes, shoes and hose are fine. Even the hair... It's the rest, the part attached to the soul that needs a lot of work.

[hlthe2b]

39. Maybe under that hat the queen has ....

an AK47! (ya never know when a girl will get LUCKY!) :evilgrin:

[omshanti]

37. George is thinking... my ingenious plan is working...

Now all we need is a snazzy hat and snazzy black gloves and matching purse...... and Pickles can play Queenie and I can play King George!!

[Kolesar]

41. What's that notch in Dumbya's head?

any guesses?
