Lots of things are described as “fit for a queen,” but if you want a car that was specially fitted for The Queen, as in Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, you’re going to have to pay up.  The car was purchased from Jaguar by specialty memorabilia dealer Peter Radcliffe for 65,000 British pounds, or just under $100,000 US dollars.  What makes the car so special, aside from the royal pedigree?

Well, it’s a Jaguar Daimler V8.  It has 14,000 miles on it; 2,000 of which were test miles and 12,000 of which were put on there by royal use.  It’s in mint condition, is a lovely green color, and was retrofitted to meet all of Queen Elizabeth’s needs, including adding a special armrest with purse storage for Her Majesty and special security lighting in front and rear.  The car’s interior is special soft leather, there are lambskin rugs for the flooring, and the trunk has a direct radio link to the Prime Minister (not functioning at this time). If you have a few thousand bucks to spare, you can bid on the car at The Queen’s Daimler.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
