The King Is Dead! Long Live The King!
So over at St. Marie of the Blessed Educational Method, the Missus is taking her class through the Middle Ages. Today's focus was on Charlemagne and in order to add a little spice to the lesson, she hit upon the idea of having the kiddies make themselves crowns.
And where did the diadems come from? Why, the Missus went over to the local Burger King over the weekend and sweet-talked them into coughing up forty two BK "Fantastic Four" crowns, which I dutifully spray-painted gold yesterday afternoon.
I find the royal connection across the gulf of time and culture.....pleasing.
Incidentally, the crowns were a big hit with her class.

But I loved some of the other ads, like that one where he was whats-his-name intercepting the pass, running it in for a TD and then doing a little sack-dance in the end zone.
