Continuing the tradition of [livejournal.com profile] gridlore's wonderful rendition of what he's not allowed to do as President, comes this one by [livejournal.com profile] siliconshaman about what he's not allowed to do as the King of England.

Bloody hilarious. :)

[livejournal.com profile] zibblsnrt or any other member of the Canadian contingent, I dare you to come up with "Things I am not allowed to do as Canadian Prime Minister". ;)

I can never be PotUS for a plethora of reasons.

One of those though would be that I would purposely do all the unwritten things a President isn't really supposed to do.

I wouldn't show up just at all the classy social and political functions. I'd show up at things like Monster Truck Rallies, Ozzfest, and Lumberjack competitions.

I'd also have trouble with the style of dress. The suit and ties would be fine, I don't mind them a bit. It's the other wear that would raise eyebrows. Sweatshirt and baggy jeans. I'd want to do at least one interview wearing a Blink 182 t-shirt or something just to annoy everyone.

The President would have his weekly Paintball. I'm sure THAT would go over real well with the everyone against anything to do anti-war, battle, or conflict.

I'd purchase a hunting license even though I don't hunt, just to tick off PETA.

I'd quote people constantly. Churchill, the Pope, Thomas Jefferson. Kurt Cobain, Stalin, Homer Simpson. The Muppets.

I'd take some world leaders out to sportsbars instead of hosting them at the White House all the time. Sportsbars more represent our culture than the White House. Admit it, Tony Blair would love to hang out in a pub.

I'd have a Word of the Day to give out to the press at every conference, asking if anyone present knew what it meant or not. Then at the next conference, I'd test them to see if anyone remembered.

I'd make sure every press conference started with an unwritten monologue on all current events.

I'd issue presidential pardons to Carrot Top and Pauley Shore.

I wouldn't visit TRL. I'd *host* TRL for a day.

I would use the phrase "Burning the Bridge to the 20th Century" whenever I had the opportunity.

I'd also have a Haiku of the Day for the press.

I'd constantly compare real-life situations to Star Trek: TNG episodes in press conferences, just to confuse everyone. I'd also ocassioonally refer to The Prime Directive while talkign about real-world situations and their handling.

You get the idea...
