The true history of the world is told in the movies, so obviously what we need is a compilation of movie events to see what was really going on. It's a work in progress, so there are a few gaps—the period between 1 zillion BC and 65,000,000 BC is a bit sparse on information—but more recent events…
As happened in so many places in this last election, a local Democrat won a solid victory over a Republican in the District 50 election. His opponent sent a "concession" letter—see if you can spot what's peculiar and a bit offensive about it.
Congratulations on winning the District 50 senate race.…
When I turned 25 my friend Sanna gave me a little poetry anthology that I have since treasured. Kathryn & Ross Petras's Very Bad Poetry (1997) is a lovely read. One of the versifiers most voluminously represented there is W.T. McGonagall (1830-1902). After quoting his words, "The most startling…

A psychiatry professor teaches his students about schizophrenia by making them live through hallucinations in a virtual world. Freaky. (via 3QD)

I can't decide:
Sir Hank the Radiant of Great Leering
Duke Hank the Erudite of Greater Waldenshire
Lord Hank the Assiduous of Biggleswade by Biscuit

A quick way to cheat the Peculiar Aristocratic Title engine:
Enter your name and sex and press the Submit button for the first title. Then use your browser's Back button to return to the previous page, where your name and sex will still be entered. Press the Submit button again. Do it over and over until you have a title to be proud of.
I am "Duchess Ctenotrish the Eldritch of Westley Waterless." I can live with that. Now I just need to work on my posh accent (my usual Texas-driven mid-west US drawl will never do).
Where's Tempting Street?
"Countess Catherine the Capricious of Fishkill St Wednesday"
St Wednesday??
Baron Desert Donkey the Expensive of Bow under Bumpstead
'tis a good friday to be silly I guess
I'm in love with my very first Internet title:
Marchioness Speedwell the Dissolute of New Scagglethorpe
Now where the heck IS New Scagglethorpe? Hey, come to think of it, where the heck is OLD Scagglethorpe?
Oh... never mind...
SCAGGLETHORPE, in the parish of Settrington, and wapentake of Buckrose...
That explains everything, doesn't it? ;)
Reverend Lord James the Woebegone of Burton-le-Coggles
His Highness Rick the Antediluvian of London by the Bow
Or...
Milord Earl Lettuce the Malleable of Larkhill under Porton
Duke Stogoe the Temporary of Witchampton Under Buzzard
His Noble Excellency Stogoe the Flavoursome of Melbury Bumpton
The Most Honourable Stogoe the Decent of Deepest Throcking
Duke Stogoe the Festive of Middle Witchampton
His Excellency Stogoe the Bloody of Colquhoun St Cahoon
His Excellency Stogoe the Cannibalistic of Heffton St Mallet
That's a lot of fun.
I was particularly taken with my very first title and sought no other.
Duke Carl the Perplexed of Leg over Wallop
Carl is my first name.
While I've spent a great deal of time being perplexed, I haven't yet decided if Leg over Wallop is a location or a martial arts move. If I had to choose I'd take the Leg over the Wallop. My imagination produces many images. But then maybe if Wallop was some kind of food or if Leg was a slang term for . . .
Her Royal Highness DominEditrix the Appropriate of Menzies on the Minges
The Reverend Earl Clement the Saturnine of New Porton Wells wishes you all a Merry Christmas. (Do I believe in Christmas? Hell, I've seen it. No reason not to be merry even if it isn't your particular holiday.)

In British slang, "getting your leg over" is slang for having a shag, dipping the quill, spearing the bearded clam, helping Mr Wibbly-Wobbly hide his helmet, a bit of 'ows yer father... and wallop is slang for beer. (There is a beer called Wallop, but it was named after the slang).
Not a bad title, depending on your tastes.

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Reverend Earl Gregory the Incomplete of Praze-an-Beeble
A Reverend Earl that's incomplete. Hmmmmm...... never thought of that before.
Pheasants! Bow before His Imperial Majesty Ian the Defenestrated of Lower Hellswicke!

Mmm!
