"There is no clever distinction in trapping and skinning bears for petty considerations based on vanity. Concern for all beings – human or animal – is a kindness and a goodness that springs from somewhere much deeper than Royal duty, and like it or not, the Guards wearing real fur reflects the human spirit at its lowest."
-In a letter to the Times of London signed "Morrissey, Singer, Cheshire," singer Morrissey of Cheshire expresses dismay at the millinery sported by the Queen's Guards outside Buckingham Palace.

Great! Do you want me to thank you with a stabbing or with a glassing?

Stuffling, naturally.

Concern for all beings except former members of The Smiths.

Who's the ringleader of the tormenters, now, Queenie?

Someone should teach a bear to DJ. That should tweak Moz's loyalties big-time.

To die by your hide is such a heavenly way to die.

I think it depends on whether the bear was in a coma or not (ugh, I'll let myself out).
