Why angels Lenny?

[08:28] PiMPiNReDHaTMaN: Why do people put angels on christmas trees?
[08:28] PiMPiNReDHaTMaN: There's nothing pretty about an angel with a tree up her ass
[08:31] Ineffable Lenny: It's probably something to do with the Christ part of Christmas. Chances are it's Angel Gabriel.
[08:31] Ineffable Lenny: I prefer stars.
[08:31] PiMPiNReDHaTMaN: You completely missed my point you fucking brit.
[08:32] PiMPiNReDHaTMaN: this is going on Zelaron

After a little Google search, I can give you a proper answer. :)

On the Victoria and Albert Christmas Tree, they put a little angel on top. And, of course, the British public followed suit.

A-HA!

[!King_Amazon!]

You've still missed the point. Brits fail at life.

[Lenny]

It's all our fault for the Angels.

I still prefer Stars.

Santa was very cross. It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right. Mrs. Claus had burned all the cookies.

The elves were complaining about not getting paid for the overtime they had accrued while making the toys. The reindeer had been drinking all afternoon and were dead drunk. To make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a spin earlier in the day and had crashed it into a tree.

Santa was furious. "I can't believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents all over the world in just a few hours, but all of my reindeer are drunk, the elves are on strike and I don't even have a Christmas tree! I sent that stupid Little Angel out HOURS ago to find a tree and he isn't even back yet! What am I going to do?"

Just then, the Little Angel opened the front door and stepped in from the snowy night, dragging a Christmas tree. He says, "Yo, fat man! Where do you want me to stick the tree this year?"

And thus the tradition of angels atop the Christmas trees came to pass.

Whether it's tradition or religious or whatever, it's beyond me why anyone would shove a tree up an angel's ass and call it pretty. That's my point Lenny.

[Lenny]

Hmmm...

Well, what can I say? Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were always a bit wrong in the head...and the British public at the time liked to follow the Royals examples.

[Kaneda]

Inbreeding is alot more common over there huh?

[Lenny]

It was for the Royals.

And around here. In Bacup, and Rochdale. You could conduct scientific experiments into it. I'm pretty sure that's how they breed Chavs...

You know what they say...insult one person in Bavup you insult everyone in Bacup.

[Kaneda]

lmao. Is that what they say now?

Brits fail at everything except naval warfare.

[Lenny]

We're good at naval warfare?!

Well I'll be...

At the time of WWI we were the greatest fighting force in the world and we had the largest Empire...but all that fighting changed it. By the end of the war loads of countries and colonies wanted independence. Ungrateful little...

[Kaneda]

Lenny are you going to run for King when you get older?

[Hades-Knight]

why are dick piercings called Prince Albert?

[Lenny]

Maybe because Prince Albert was a dick?

I don't know...makes you cringe though, just thinking of it.

Lenny are you going to run for King when you get older?

Hmmm...if I married the first Royal in line to the throne when I get older, then I could become Prince Lenny...but that Royal would be forced to abdicate for marrying a "commoner" as they so pleasantly put it.

[Kaneda]

Your a filthy commoner! That actually seems kind of a demeaning way to run a government. Who decided that the Royals are who they are? In the very beginning when people first came to Europe, (or evolved there) someone had to decided that "Oh these people over here, ya all of them are better than everyone else."

[platnum]

The town leaders or generals became the kings.

If I remember correctly from history class, the Britts wanted an ice ship, because it was supposed to be near impossible to sink.

Remember the HMS Hood, Lenny.

I'm pretty sure it is believed that the royals are chosen by God. At least they were back in the daaaaay.

[Lenny]

It would've been something to do with Tribe leaders in the times of the Saxons, Vikings and Normans that gave us our Royals. Tribe leaders and the like. Or, in the case of William the Conqueror, Dukes who were related to the Tirbe leaders of Saxon/Viking times and decided they wanted a piece of the action.

So yeah, in the times of Tribes, lots of tribes would have clubbed together to kick seven bails out of another tribe or something, and that mixed tribe would have become the main ruling tribe and the leader of that tribe would have had supreme power.

----------

Ah, glorious Pykrete. :)

It would've worked too if it weren't for those pesky kids!

I've never heard of HMS Hood before.

Bloody typical of the shells to explode in an Ammunition store.

To recap, this is the thread about how the angel got on top of the Christmas Tree and became a Worldwide tradition when the British public caught on to the idea. This idea was first started by Viccy and Ally. Albert probably gave his name to a gruesome piercing of the penis. And at that point we can't figure out how the rest of the thread progressed inmto what it has.

It's quite amazing to just sit and watch these things happen. All the different thoughts that came change something from one thing to a completely different thing, whilst still going with the underlying theme, which is, in this case, Britain.

Whoo! RUle Britannia! :D

Mandate of Heaven, I think it was called.
