London Bridge is not down now

[jingle.boy]

Rumours abound that the Queen has bought it. If not already .... time is probably short.

Google search has come up with nothing.

Though saying a 96 year old might have died after contracting covid shouldn't be too shocking.

I'll wait till The Ottawa Times, or something official like it, confirms it.

[jingle.boy]

Apparently there’s a whole massive global protocol that has to be followed, so whenever it does happen, it’ll take hours for any official announcement reaches the peasants.

[Cool Chris]

You got an inside source at the Palace?

Jingle Boy is actually his royal title.

[Cool Chris]

If this is true (the story, not him being royal, though that would qualify...), my respect for him ratchets up a few notches. I remember this forum being the place where I first read Kobe Bryant died, and that was before many news outlets were reporting it.

The Duke of Chad.

I refuse to believe the Queen won't live until 100.

Also, some source?

Also II, she can't die now, the world's attention is on the Ukraine war, she has to die when nothing else major is happening, she has to be center of the attention one last time, she doesn't deserve to go out like Mother Teresa, outshadowed by Princess Diana's death.

I dunno... some shit jingle.daughter was following.  She's more aware/interested in Royal/Monarchy stuff.  I have zero fuck's to give.  I just thought the official "code" to inform world leaders of her death (the thread title) was kinda cool.  Apparently Operation London Bridge has been in place since the 60s.

Hey... tell a rumour / start a lie, and in today's society, it doesn't even need to be a true fact to be believed.  Maybe I can start a global movement! 

[King Postwhore]

The Duke of Zero Fucks.


Tim, that rings so much better.

[Podaar]

I'm the Marquis of Meh! We Townsend's all have royal titles...somewhere.

Apparently this was reported on Hollywood Unlocked - it's their second story, behind the headline of a Kanye West livestream, which should tell you all you need to know about its veracity. 

You in the US may not care, but for us in the UK it means our entire country will shut down for about a month's mourning. The TV will effectively shut down for a fortnight, and I'm pretty sure they'll find a way to shut the internet off too.

Just read a statement from the guy that runs Hollywood Unlocked that he is standing by his story.

HAHA ... well, there you go.  The only good thing is, I'll be remembered at DTF as breaking the ... "news" (even if it is days/weeks/months/years early).

Maybe I should set an over/under on how many days until it actually happens?  Let's start at say, 300.  I'll take the under.

Hey, you never know.  I mean, TMZ broke Kobe Bryant's death.

You're like that kid* in the back seat of the car at a red light.  "And green... NOW!................NOW!................and GREEN!..........NOW!" and when it finally turns green, "Yeah, I'm a little psychic!". 

(*Which is, of course, to say "ME".    )

Greatest comedic performance ever

"Don't you people have homes?!"

Greatest comedic performance ever

Perhaps, but I consider this one of the most overrated movies ever. Just give me the scenes with Rodney and Ted Knight.

Bill Murray...not funny
Chevy Chase..even less not funny

[jammindude]

Someone is NOT “being the ball” 

[Cool Chris]

I consider Caddyshack more whimsical than traditional comedy. It has a few belly laughs, but is more the type of movie where the smile never leaves your face.

Some movies have an extreme level of “quotability” and Caddyshack is one of them. Airplane, Office Space, Napoleon Dynamite, Anchorman…etc etc

[KevShmev]

My older brother is definitely in the "Bill Murray is not funny in Caddyshack" group, but he still loves the film, largely because of Ted Knight and Rodney Dangerfield.  I have seen that flick so many times that I can almost recite it line for line in my head every time I still watch it.

I actually saw Office Space and thought it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I saw Anchorman too, but couldn't give you one quote from it.
I have no idea what Napoleon Dynamite is.

Tim, let’s face it, you’re not exactly the barometer for these kinds of things.

I saw Caddyshack WAY back when.  Not sure I've ever seen it again.  I thought Anchorman sucked.  I think I saw Airplane about a decade after the fact.  By the time I saw it, it was already cringy.  Office Space is ok.  Never seen Napoleon Dynamite and know virtually nothing about it.

[TAC]

I'm cool with Airplane.

[Cool Chris]

Guys, it is Airplane! I love this movie. Desert Island for the rest of my life, with one comedy to take with me, it might be this one.

I love Office Space, but I appreciate Mike Judge's humor and have worked in offices like that.
