To The Emperor (Observed)

By atreides (Mon Sep 18, 2006 at 05:48:36 PM EST) (all tags)

Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your glasses.

To His Imperial Highness, Joshua Norton the First, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico!

Sunday was the 147th anniversary of the Ascension of the only Emperor of the United States. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a music festival, far from any computer. The important thing is that you make sure to pay your proper due to him next time you belly up to the bar.

Or, however you spell that word. Thanks for this timely reminder. I remember now your introducing me to this personage some whiles back, but it has escaped strong placement in the long-term memory. So thanks for the refresh.

As ever, etc.
Buy my books, dammit!

I'm glad to be his biggest (non-discordian) disciple. And one day, I hop to spread his wissom to all the darkened corners of the Earth. Well, that or drink a lot. Either way...

He reminds me of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador by theboz (4.00 / 1) #5 Mon Sep 18, 2006 at 07:36:38 PM EST

The jackass in Mexico who proclaimed himself "Legitimate President of Mexico", as opposed to the real president-elect Felipe Calderon. The only difference is that Joshua Norton was cool.
