Hail holy...queen?

I'm the first to admit that I have a fairly tortured relationship with YouTube. Mostly, it drives me nuts. It seems to be a repository of delusions and borderline insanity. It fascinates me, no, galls me, that they'll scrub it like there's no tomorrow for possible copyright infringement, but don't seem to have a problem letting borderline porn and other reprehensible garbage flow like there's no tomorrow. Who are they protecting? Anyway, when you do finally find something you want to share, more likely than not, the ability to embed has been locked down under the guise of "by request." I won't go on a tear about that because this afternoon, I happened on to something that has had me laughing like no tomorrow. This may be one of the funniest.things.ever.

"Hail Holy Queen." Seriously. As choreographed by a slew of Filipino prison inmates in the prison yard. With two dudes in drag - full habit, no less. It brings a whole new meaning to "Hail Holy Queen." This just kills me. Can you imagine a bunch of inmates at San Quentin putting a show like this on in the yard? Or maybe down in Angola in Louisiana? I think not. Where this might have legs, and high-kicking ones at that, is one of the outdoor tent prisons in Maricopa County, AZ...Sheriff Joe Arpaio would like this. His tactics are another reminder of why I'm glad we packed the moving van and moved from AZ so many years ago.

Anyway, hope you get a kick out of the prison dance team. They're killing me!
