Umm... I'd say it's quite a bit better than Fine.

Man, ol' Georgie sure did look bugeyed on those.

Gawd, what a monster.

Thyroid problem?

I believe that George II died on the "Royal Crapper," I wonder if that has anything to do with the bugeyed look?

Yes. Died on the throne!

Not the first or last "King" to do that.

Another historical note that seems to fit this tread:-

George II spent much time away from England, back in Hanover, this was exceedingly unpopular with his subjects.
Queen Caroline was left 'minding the shop', or guardian of the realm as they put it.
In 1736 George spent eight months away in dalliance with Mme de Wallmoden (Lady Yarmouth).

Some ribald notices were posted on the gates of St. James's Palace. The one I like was:-

"Lost or strayed out of the house, a man left a wife and six children on the parish; whoever will give any tidings of him to the Churchwardens of St. James's Parish, so he may be got again, shall receive four shillings and sixpence. N.B. This reward will not be increased, nobody judging him to be worth a Crown."

Ah, there's one problem with being a Royal.

Almost a quarter of a millennium after you die on the crapper, there are still people chuckling about it. Geez!
