What do you guys mean by “taxidermied”?

They’re saying that the brits are strutting around a literal corpse. Personally, I think they got Madame Tussauds to make a wax queen.

I can only ever think of this Eddie Izzard bit from Glorious

But in the ‘50s, she was quite sexy, in a sort of not-terribly-sexy kind of way. But in a “use your imagination and you can probably get there” type of way. “Hey, fancy the Queen! Got a picture of the Queen on my locker door, fancy her! Shag the Queen! Hey Queen, let’s give a big tonguey kiss!”

They could make her a bigger cult figurehead in death than they could in life if they handle it right. Kind of reminds me of dark souls. How long would it take to rapidly mineralize a corpse into a statue? Is that a thing?

I was just reading about making fossils in 24 hours but it usually takes a hydraulic press full of clay and a heat of 410 degrees Fahrenheit. Flat queen? All hail the flat queen!

Yeah exactly you could totally link the fire with her dessicated head

How many corpses have been made in her name, and if each death was worth one XP point, what level would your character be if you broke a commemorative dinner plate with her face pressed into it?

I’m surprised there’s not a Kissinger style death pool going on for her.

Yeah, it’s fun to même about her being dead, but I think more realistically she’s in a super deteriorated state that would be beneath the dignity of the throne for her to be seen in or smth.

Look she changed a tire in WW2, don’t you know how much that means to the British people?

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
