To be over so my morning news doesn't consist of new anchors talking about the horses that will pull the carriage, the food that will be served, who designed the wedding dress, and on and FUCKING on.
HLN even has a counter in the corner counting down to the hour of the wedding. Really?
Why does, or should anyone outside of Britain even CARE?!

I don't get what makes this wedding so special. Are people's lives so utterly boring and devoid of meaning that they are desperate for something to pass the time with? (Yes, I know the answer is yes. )

William is 3rd in line to the throne and the British crown is the monarch of the entire British Commonwealth so he's in line to be the King of the Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and some other places too! (they hate it when we remind them that! - The Aussies have the Queen on their plastic bank notes and everything! Snarf!)
Daniel Radcliff (Harry Potter) was on Jimmy Fallon (I think) the other night and he said that not many people back in England even really cared about it. They were just happy because Monday is a national holiday so they get a 4 day weekend. (YEA!) More people over here in the U.S. care about it than in U.K.!
But hey, I'll down a few pints anyway.

Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!

I've been thinking the same thing for weeks. Even CNN's site has been plastering it constantly. It's not "news" it's bullshit for the front page of some girlie mag and nothing more.
The bloke who installed the camera outside Buckingham Palace which took the time-lapse video that can be seen starting at 44 seconds in the linked news story bought me a Force FX Lightsaber. That's why I'm excited about the wedding.

Why are random men buying you expensive presents? o_O (is there a Greamlin for something like 'o_O'?)

I couldn't find a suitable o_O
We always tend to exchange decent gifts. Pause. Plus, those things aren't that expensive, I spent more on our portion of his Rebel T1i

Well I'm making an effort! Royal Wedding's aren't exactly my bag either, so I'm going along to be part of a big event, and capture some footage for YouTube. My secondary aim will be to be interviewed by as many US television networks as possible. What I'm not looking forward to is that it looks like I'll need to spend the night out on the street, staking out my place.
OK, a.) that's a pretty nasty thing to say, and b.) if something actually happened at the wedding, we would *never*, *ever* hear the fucking end of it. The news specials would go on for decades.

The aristocracy is full of nothing but vampiric slave traders. They deserve nothing more than "nasty" things to happen to them.
I can't wait Im getting a paid day off, so god bless them both. Theres still no chance of me sitting down and watching that shite. Come on the Scottish Independance!!
Ya, I never followed up on that! Actually it turned into a huge party, believe it or not.
My neighbor's friend runs a well drilling service, and he had the exact check-valve I needed. So they come over to change out the valve (no small task when it holds back 12,000 gallons). Neighbors see a few extra cars in the lot, so they come over to see what's up. One of those guys works at the "meat lab", and says if I dig a pit he can bring a half cow to eat while everyone works on the valve. So a few more families show up to help me dig the pit. Then, well, if you have a half cow, you need enough people to eat all that, so a few more cars arrive, plus few trips to the store for ice, beer and limes (for making caipirinhas, we always have cachaça on hand, yum)... and next thing you know there's a shindig hoedown goin' on (not to be confused with a hootinanny, we're not like that) at Gat's place.
We got clean toilets, and plenty of people to try them out.

It's great when you're able to make something awesome out of something so shitty.

It's always strange to me how different things are in other parts of the country. I can't even imagine seeing activity at a neighbor's house and just dropping by to see what's going on, let alone have the whole thing turn into a spontaneous party. Even at my parents' house in the 'burbs, where we actually knew most of the neighbors. It's just not something most New Englanders would think to do, at least in my experience.
You miserable bunch of cynics. I'm just about all packed and ready to go. Hope I'm not too late to bag a good spot on the Mall. Will be leaving in a few minutes. Have a good one, whatever you're doing (or not doing).

You think its bad for you lot!
I've got 2 runs delivering beer into the City tomorrow, nothing quite like trying to manouver an articulated truck through London streets with about a million tourists all wandering about aimlessly and looking the wrong f**king way when they cross the roads.

Can you get popcorn delivery as part of your route for this one "special" day?

Man, that must suck. Favorite part of my weekends lately have been neighbors dropping by the minute I fire up a compressor or start running the saw. Can't say they've turned into the party Gat had, but at least now the gold standard for spontaneous parties has been set...
Well I got back not long ago. It turned out to be impossible to get any sleep at all, on a cold, windy Mall last night. Consequently, I am now unspeakably exhausted. I managed to get a pretty good spot, took plenty of videos, and flirted shamelessly with American girls, predictably, with outstanding success.

Got any new pix for Andrew to post?
Kevin Eshbach
Hi Kevin, I admire, and share your enthusiasm for Andrew's pics! Sadly, all my photos and videos are, mostly, good clean fun. As soon as I can, the videos will go up on YouTube, but as I'll probably appear to be an utter berk in them, the link won't be shared here
Oh, and the experience was epic and I'm glad to have been part of it
I admit - after standing in line behind a borderline morbidly obese woman at Subway who ordered her sandwich on "eye-talian" bread yesterday, I kinda missed not living here too.
