Blog Guy, I was interested in your photos of some members of the British royal family at the Royal Ascot. Please try to update us more often on what those folks are up to.
Well, last week they had the annual Funny Hat Day over there. They all put on silly hats with big plumes, and just goofed around.
Looks like it’s not just funny hats. I see silly outfits, too.
True. There are people dressed just like the guys on Beefeaters Gin bottles, and the royals themselves have big robes as if they are graduating from college, even though they aren’t.
What do those big round patches say?
I blew one of them up. It says, “Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense.”
Awesome! What does that mean?
Roughly, it means, ”Who died and made you queen?”
Roughly? Don’t you have a more exact translation?
What do I look like, Wikipedia?

- Posted by BandageBob, you should be tarred and feathered for butchering the Latin in such haughty style.
- Posted by gwmcLatin? I’m pretty sure it’s Scottish.
- Posted by Robert BaslerIt’s not Scottish or Latin - it’s French, meaning “Shame be to him who thinks evil of it”.
- Posted by Mick McCormackSilly me, Mick is right. The old French is “Shame be to him who thinks evil of it” It’s such old French that it’s almost Latin.
- Posted by gwmcBob, I am going to suggest to our Queen, That you should be beheaded and your head displayed on the White house lawn, for such an outragrouse insult to the British royal Family.
