All the more reason to ransack the castle?

The King does not pay for it.

Better than lead piping, I suppose.

The Royal Thunder Throne.

Time for a guillotine sale

Infrastructure Does Not Suck! It drains. Now where’s my list of kick back contractors? Find the list from the Haiti earthquake job.

I guess they’re going to need a crap ton of gold.

It is, from the King’s perspective,

… “Infrastructure for me, but not for thee.”

How about … “If I benefit, everyone (the whole kingdom) benefits.”

Wow, talk about a Royal Flush! :D

Copper prices these days have made it another precious metal.

At least it’s not a gold toilet. (ahem)

A week? You’re complaining about a week???? Howsabout YEARS? I SWEAR TO GAWD, here on US 441 in Lady Lake, FL, orange traffic cones have become a permanent part of the landscape. As soon as they get one set of drainpipes in, they have to replace them with bigger drainpipes. . .then they have to refinisht the surface. . .then they have to reconfigure the islands. . .thanks for letting me rant/share!!! ;)

A stone castle with plumbing? Now that is upscale. We often forget that even the mightiest kings of barely two centuries ago had castles without electricity or air conditioning and had food selection that was not quite as wide as we see in our supermarkets today. I reflect on that last bit every Spring, when produce from the Northern and Southern hemispheres, as well as the tropics, is offered at prices even commoners can afford.

That’s better than the usual copper tubing, that’s being ripped out of houses to sell…

The writer and the artist never should have traded places.

How many times do you have to flush the Royal commode ?

He has all this gold just lying around. It would be a shame to waste it.

How strong is solid gold? I know it’s one of the softer metals, but I have never seen in used in such a way. Only in jewelry and whatnot.

More like inthecastlestructure week…

I wonder why the come to listen to this crap?

I just bought a bunch of brass fittings within the past hour. Gold is too similar to lead for my tastes.

(he said as if gold had been an option he considered and rejected)

Does the gold pipe connect to TFG’s gold toilet?

It’s not a bad medium, but it’s terribly expensive.

GOP version of infrastructure. More money for the wealthy.
