Yeah, I started to dispute that too.  I have Ray Lewis as my avatar.

Right. I keep forgetting cosmopolitan is a bad word.

Not a bad word at all.

But not something one gains by climbing mountains in different countries.

Isn't that the one with gin and triple sec?  Or is that a mahattan?

[Admiral Yi]

A Manhattan is bourbon, vermouth, and cherry juice.

Not if it's ice cream.

As a kid I grew up reading the classic 70s Cosmopolitan.

The Urban dictionary has an interesting entry under "cosmopolitan ice cream"

When a girl gets double-penetrated by a black guy and a white guy at the same time, while on her period.

  Now see, that's just people making shit up.

It's supposed to be "Neapolitan".

Either way it has a "..politan" in it.

I can end this mystery. I see a reference to the Queen's speech, don't particularly notice the poster or the "our", and assume it is QEII because that is the vast majority of queen's speech references I see. Jake busts me on something, and I remember, "oh yeah, she is the queen of all the commonwealth, not just UK".

I know Liep is from Denmark, which I know has some sort of royal family.

Lulz.  Come on, Dorsey4Matterhorn.  You don't have too, too cosmopolitan to get the general understanding, from Languish alone, that Queen Elizabeth is definitely not the monarch to make 26 years of speeches referencing contemporary social problems, and that the royalty of certain Continental nations (The Netherlands, and especially Denmark, come to mind) are more uninhibited in publicly chain-smoking, riding bicycles, and weighing in on the corrosive effects of technology, while other European royalty (like Spain's) are expected to be figureheads subordinated to the elected government, to be seen and not heard.

This may shock you, but I've never seen a king or queen's speech. 100% of my experience with them comes from sitting through the movie "The Queen" and the fictional(?) speech with the acknowledgement of Diana.

I don't know. It seemed plausible. I figure she can't talk about politics. Sports seems trivial. She probably can't talk about Diana every year. Voicing opinions on who should win Acadamy Awards might be too controversial. "Lets build a better country by being nice to each other and looking up from our smart phones once in a while" is how it may plausibly go. To my provencial mind at least.
