Corgis of the French Aristocracy

In the final years before the French Revolution of 1789, French aristocrats became so obsessed with peerage that even their pets were granted titles, such as François-Passie d’Bourbon (1781-1790, or 1781-1844 in human years), Bishop-Count of Aquivelva, Ned of Flanders, Duke of Nukem, and Huminahumina of Froin-Laven.

Let them eat kibble.

I could lose my head over this cutie, Sharon H.

    Duke Of Nukem: I’ve got Curls of Steel (or in this case .. fluff)

      I’d play that game. I’m imagining rococo Duke Nukem where hoop skirts are used to conceal heavy weaponry.

      I’m actually kind of surprised no one ever made a Duchess Nukem where a muscly lady kills aliens and rescues studmufins.

      Make it a double!

      (Two drinks or two Corgis…I’m not picky.)

        Both. Then you can have both drinks, and I can have the Corgis.

      Who said Huminahuminah? Was it Jackie Gleason? Or does that just prove I’m 2000 years old?
