That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 01, 2019

Elizabeth was so afraid of assassination, she insisted every meal be cooked in front of her.

It was a lot easier to wow the crowd with a light show in the early days.

After watching the only potential husband for Elizabeth burn his genitals off, she made made the decision to never marry.

“That’s all you’ve got, a hibachi with no meat? We are not amused, Chef Ramsay.”

Your highness I believe you should place the spittoon closer to you.

Next we will continue with a tupperware party.

Yes, Your Majesty, I know you are incensed and that you will, you will rock us!

Bill Nye the science guy’s great great something grandfather

Now for my next trick, I need a rabbit. Otherwise, I don’t eat.

ok, the light show is cool and all, but when are you getting to the attraction – turning lead into gold?

I knew Lizzie would break bad one day.

That’s not meth…KA-BOOM!

“My Queen, I now demonstrate gravity.. lmao.. no such thing, I know.. I know..”

Tim realizing, too late, that he should have bought the bigger Weber grill.

Put your sailors on this stuff, and their strength will be as the strength of ten. The Spanish Armada won’t stand a chance.

Queen: “Is this the same guy that bleached my mouse ears?”

Johnny Dee had played some tough houses in his time, but this was a really tough crowd, especially that tired old queen in the red wig.

And they call that old witch doctor who taught me this trick a savage. HA! Look at these rubes!!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that and bob’s your uncle!

“Mr Dee, it is all very nice/ to possess an explosive device/ but the main precondition/ is controlling ignition/ which is still just a roll of the dice…” (and you’ve burned down your labrat’ry twice !)"

Lizzy, the virgin queen will try anything to get a husband even magic.

Maybe “Lizzy” wanted a special child via alchemy. Though I don’t think that synthetic beings like homonculi could reproduce.
