<p>Just another terrorist-lover. </p>

<p>Stay the course.</p>

<p>(What he does know about is tribal conflict. The English, French, and German tribes have played out their tribal conflicts over the face of the globe for much of the past four centuries, and we are still reeling from the effects.)</p>

<p>All together now:</p>

<p>Oh the noble Duke of York
He had ten thousand men . . .</p>

<p>The Duke of Earl is my favorite Duke.</p>

5

<p>you beat me to it zoosermom… it’s burned into my head from all those hours bouncing babies up and down on my knees as he “marched them up to the top of the hill and marched them down again.”</p>

<p>“The Duke of Earl is my favorite Duke.”</p>

<p>You want that one? Fine. </p>

<p>Duke Duke Duke
Duke of Earl
Duke Duke
Duke of Earl</p>

<p>Bwahaha! I hope I’ve given everyone an ear worm.</p>

<p>“and when you’re up you’re up, and when you’re down you’re down…”</p>

<p>What about the Duke of Plaza-Toro?</p>

<p>As I walk through my dukedom nothing can stop the Duke of Earl.</p>

<p>My second favorite Duke is Duke Snider.</p>

<p>And what Duke told us to take the A train?</p>

<p>Raising a hand for Ellington, here. (Though yes, my first thought on reading this post was definitely “He marched them up to the top of the hill . . . .”)</p>

<p>My husband tried twice, and finally succeeded on our third child, in working “Ellington” in as a middle name, because Duke is such a huge hero to him. I can’t tell you how often I get asked, “Oh, is that a family name?” :slight_smile: (Note, _________ Ellington ________ is as Wonder Bread Genotype as both parents.)</p>

<p>And what about Duke Cunningham? :rolleyes:</p>

12

<p>“The duke, who is fourth in line to the throne, told the newspaper there was feeling in Britain of “why didn’t anyone listen to what was said and the advice that was given?”.”</p>

<p>Same feeling here in the US for many…</p>

13

<p>What about Richie Cunningham? :D</p>

<p>I like the Duke of Prunes, Frank Zappa style, and Susie Creamcheese says, I’ll be your Duchess (pronounced doo chess), your duchess of prunes.</p>

15

<p>This is the one and only Duke. (imo :))</p>

<p>Which leads us, mythmom, straight to Sheik Yerbouti. :)</p>

<p>Haha, Harriet. I really like your Ellington story.</p>

<p>In Chapel Hill it’s spelled “Dook.” Referring, of course, to the small school down the road.</p>
