A party with the queen


Posted at 12:01 am by Mark Carlson, Herald staff

More proof that there'll always be an England comes today with news of Queen Elizabeth II's first garden party of the summer at Buckingham Palace. And what a party it was: tea (with milk, please), those kinda-gross sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and thousands of matronly ladies wearing millinery from the Hermione Baddeley collection.

The Buzz invites the queen to attend our garden party -- just leave the cucumber sandwiches at home, and fill up that empty handbag with liquor, OK?

For party nosh, the queen might consider a new potato chip product that's flavored with beer. But if she's truly as British as roast beef, she'll drink her brew, not munch on it.

She'd probably prefer gin-and-tonic-flavored chips, anyway.

When the party's over, we'll either call the queen a cab or let her crash on the couch. We wouldn't want her to do something stupid and dangerous, as did a man charged with drunken driving in Chelan County whose blood-alcohol level allegedly was nearly six times the legal limit.

We'll feed her beer chips for breakfast.
