WFME Will Be Knighted
July 27th, 2007
If the Queen can knight real people, then why can’t she knight blogs?
The only answer to the above question is, “because no blogs have asked to, or expressed interest in being knighted simply because no blogs assumed they could be knighted, thus the lack of acting on getting knighted.” That’s why, effective immediately, I will begin my campaign to get this blog knighted by the lovely, endearing Queen of England.
In each post I will elaborate on one virtue that I believe is a reason for this blog to be knighted. Today’s virtue? None other than…
Pen-Swordedness Skills
Since knights must be skilled in the art of war and must be able to wield a sword… And since the pen is mightier than the sword… And since I am a writer and my pen is mightier than the knight’s sword… That makes me mightier than the knight who has been knighted by the Queen of England. And if I, the author of said blog, is mightier than the knight, using my pen-swordedness to do so, then this blog shall be knighted.
Oh yeah. I can taste the crumpets already.
I think you might be in for a snag in the distinction between corporeal and noncorporeal candidates for knighthood. If knighthoods have been awarded posthumously ever, that’s a precedent you might use to your advantage, but if knighthood only vests with the touch of the sword, I think you may have trouble. Maybe if you could sub a stylus for the sword and connect to WiFi from the throne…but that still leaves room for metaphysical objections. Does this blog bring in a lot of money by any chance?

MT - Yeah, I’m working on a WIFI throne kind of make-shift workaround with all the money this blog makes.
