Re: [microsound] [ot] holiday gift reminder!

Oh gosh, why'd you go open up that can of worms again Kim!?!  :-)

For those sensitive .microsound subscribers without , here is a brief
explanation, from phrases.org.uk:

In Reply to: Re: Kill the King posted by Gary Martin on July 04, 2001

: : I'm looking for both the orgin and mean of the phrase "Kill the
King, Long Live the King." I've seen some variations, some include a
line like "The King is Dead". Thank You.

: "The King is dead: long live the King" has long been used in England
as an acclaimation of a new sovereign. The meaning is, "The [old] King
is dead; long live the [new] King". Presumably the last time it was
used in Britain, when George VI died, it had to be modified a bit.

: Gary

"The King is Dead" ("Shah mat" in ancient Persia, where chess comes
from) is the origin of "checkmate."
