Slashdot Mirror
Sir Patrick Stewart
david.emery was one of a few folks who noted that Patrick Stewart can now be referred to as Sir Captain as he will be knighted by the Queen. This should bring balance to any future X-Men movies.

"Make it so"
Though we both know it's because he and the Queen both roll with the Earl Grey posse.
When's Shatner getting knighted?
"I've just been paid a visit by Q. She wants to do something nice for me." Qpid.
Since everybody knows Kirk is much better than Picard.
Did you know 80 to 90% of the moderators on slashdot wouldn't recognize a troll even if one dragged them under a bridge.
Am I the only one surprised to learn that he's *not* gay? Seriously, I don't mean that as a troll, I honestly always assumed he was until I read about his wife.
Blasphemy! One to beam down.
does that mean he can now compete in jousting tournaments?
Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power lost.
... we all know it's for his outstanding work on American Dad.
Patrick will approach the queen during the ceremony, then suddenly have a fit as he sees the spotlights around him and scream "THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!"

Considering the state of the world, I don't think some people would mind trying having temporarily having a king to kick the asshats out of government.
Personally, I think we should get rid of the notion that everyone is qualified to vote. It may have worked back when the whole country was ten thousand people, everyone knew you, and your words actually meant something, but that's obviously not the case with 300 million people.
Just think about it: there was nobody better suited to lead a country, than Clinton, Bush or Obama? And how the hell did Bush get reelected?
Perhaps Citizenship and the right to vote can be secured through some form of Federal service. I'm sure I saw that is some horrendous film based on a classic sci-fi text somewhere...
And certainly not "Idiot" or "You captain!"
We did. His name was Cheney, and he kicked everyone but the asshats out of government.

that's not a very flattering picture of patrick.
So, if you shoot someone, you are also depriving them of their franchise, which means...

Nope. I think he got knighted for his outstanding rendition of the facepalm.
Yes sir, Captain Sir, sir.

I always enjoyed it when he ran around to that funny music and Benny Hill slapped him on his bald head.
You mean it wasn't for Dune?
here is a crown. next time you see one, you can recognize it.

Sir Patrick, thank you for so many precious moments, we're looking forward to many more, may you live long and prosper!
*humming* We're gonna party like... it's your birthday...
We're gonna sip Bacardi like... it's your birthday...
I think we should try and hang anyone who thinks we should arbitrarily shoot anyone.
Sorry, you have a good point but everyone deserves a fair trial by their peers, regardless of their accused crimes.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
We've made a Major breakthrough!

And to be further pedantic, he's not really a captain, so "Captain Sir" isn't actually appropriate. Appropriate forms of address would also include "Sir Patrick", and "Sir Patrick Stewart", but not "Sir Stewart".
Riker still calls him "that old fucker that won't give up the chair"
