...his works live on in Burger King...

Who knew I would have found enlightenment in a fast-food joint on the way to work?

(Yes, I was running very late today, I'm usually in around 7AM...)

My God, man!

I think the cash register is trying to tell us that the recent demise of your Bovine-Pattied Monarch was not, in fact, an accident! It was murther! Murther most foul! Alack for the violent passing of the Burger King, Senior!

No wonder that the Burger Prince was seen moping around the Playpen, dressed all in black (despite what the manager said about sticking to uniform code), complaining that "The funeral meats did coldly furnish the banquet tables... only a dollar a piece and now topped with bacon and our special ranch sauce..."

And worst of all, when the Prince's best friends arrived from out of town, he thought he would receive consolation... but he received from them only their betrayal! For as he went out to meet them, bearing a tray of the finest Value Meals his kingdom could offer, what should he see but the backseat of their car filled with MCDONALDS wrappers, and turning he cast his gaze on the unfortunate ambassador from England hurrying up to him, bowing his head in sorrow, and telling the poor Prince 'Most sorrowful news indeed, my lord... would that I could say otherwise... but the truth will out... Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are fed."

That was beautiful...

What a piece of work is Rowan! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! He truly is the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!

He speaks daggers to us, yet uses none.

Never saw that

Never saw that episode...

but it sounds absolutely like a speech Picard would use to defend humanity to Q.
