Barack Obama Plays Ping Pong, Meets Kate Middleton, Gets Car Stuck
President Obama and the First Lady are currently traveling through the UK having all sorts of wacky adventures. Barack played table tennis with the British Prime Minister David Cameron. The duo proved once and for all, that there is no such thing as a picture of people playing ping pong that isn’t awesome.
The trip wasn’t all table tennis with grade-schoolers though. Michelle Obama did a Marilyn Monroe impression in the Queen’s presence. And they met Kate Middleton which is possibly the most fabulous thing you can do in the modern world.
Yesterday, their car “The Beast” which is supposed to protect the President from just about anything less than a nuclear fallout, basically got stuck on the lip of an Irish driveway.
I know I’ll rest easier knowing that our President is safe from every threat except for rogue piles of cement.

Do you think the queen has ever used the N word behind closed doors? She seems like she would be racist in real life. I mean, her grandson wore a Hitler costume for Halloween and thought nothing of it.

Thanks for acknowledging that. He’ll land on his feet somewhere. I’m sure he’d fit right in commenting over at ESPN.com.

Sad face. Doc Jensen at EW.com has a great column posted. The most insightful one I’ve ever read from him on the show.

For sure. Also, I like this game. What are some other things we could use here? She’s an interesting case-study. Think about it, the woman has never had to go to the store to pick up milk. Ever.

Some advice from one fan to another: Re-watch the final season (maybe you already have?) Knowing the end game, I think you’ll really appreciate and understand “The End.”

I’ll have to do that NDub. I’ve watched the last episode a few times since, but none of the other episodes from the last season. Gonna have a lot of time to kill once these NBA playoffs are over too.

Are you kidding? Didn’t you read how she handled WWZ?
May 24th, 2011 at 4:55 PM
The Queen gets into the driver’s seat of a car: “I’m sure the manual will indicate which lever is the velocitator and which the deceleratrix”
May 24th, 2011 at 4:55 PM
I am sure it is exactly like this but substitute the word coffee for tea.
May 24th, 2011 at 4:57 PM
But she was a mechanic in the military in World War II. She’s a lot more normal than you might think.

Dammit YYSA, that’s NSFW. Very much so.
May 24th, 2011 at 4:58 PM
Well she has to be involved in philanthropic organizations since she’s the queen. But she doesn’t seem like she has any sort of empathy for anyone. She showed zero emotion at Diana’s funeral and didn’t look all that happy during William’s wedding.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:00 PM
ahh damn buckner. sorry about that.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:00 PM
Dude that was like 70 years ago. She went home to her castle at the end of the day.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:01 PM
Ok, so she’s also old, which means she’s probably like any other old chick on the planet.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:01 PM
being the King or Queen would be the greatest thing of all time.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:01 PM
i’ve rewatched the first 3 seasons so far, at least half of it can be disregarded knowing what happens in the finale.
working my way up to the final season, just gotta get season 4 and 5 on dvd.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:02 PM

She’s a straight-up missionary type of gal, for sure. Maybe she hops on top for the Prince Philip’s birthday, but that’s about it.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:04 PM
I think it would suck. Yes, you’re rich and stuff but you have to be on your best behavior at all times, you have to play polo and have tea and crumpets, you can’t just go to college and nail chicks on a whim, and your family has a say in who you marry.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:04 PM
I just want to have a female servant be able to tell me.. “the royal penis is clean your highness”

I think it’s unreasonable to think this woman is going to be Carol Brady. If you are rich, famous, and literally royalty — and have been your entire life you are going to act like this.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:05 PM
Netflix baby.
I’ve rewatched the entire first season three times already and a few episoedes of later seasons. It starts getting weird in the middle but I definitely gotta watch the last season again to see what it’s like the second time around.

Yep, that’s the selling point right there. Now, I don’t know William, but he seems from all accounts like pretty level headed guy. I probably couldn’t live that lifestyle, but I can’t imagine it sucking too much. Dude flies helicopters for a living! That is all kinds of awesome.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:08 PM
I certainly would have my disagreements with Sir Cedric.

I’m not asking for Carol Brady. But crack a fucking smile once in awhile. Or at least fake an emotional connection to your grandchildren.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:08 PM
i’m curious to see how the time travel plays out when i’m not constantly trying to theorize what’s going on and what everything means.
the show is already more enjoyable not having to have your brain turned on to overdrive. and it is much easier to disregard some stuff, but also you see how stuff was made up as they went along.
May 24th, 2011 at 5:08 PM

I think it’s one of those things where it would be the greatest thing ever for about 6months to a year… then it would kind of suck. These people can’t go anywhere without 3 dozen people following them, half of which want to snap a picture of them picking there nose or hocking a loogie.

May 24th, 2011 at 5:10 PM
first of all, polo and tea and crumpets sounds awesome. Second of all, of course the King (or I guess the Princes) could go bang whomever they wanted whenever they wanted. And if I wasn’t in line to be the King I just wouldn’t get married.

You may be right, but I still think being Prince Senator Jersey has a real good ring to it. I honestly don’t think it’s as arduous as you make it.

No they can’t! Look at Prince Philip! He was in love with that hag Camilla Parker Bowles but had to marry Princess Diana (who was hotter, but had mental problems). And then he couldn’t go out in public with Camilla even though he was legally divorced because the Queen forbid it!
