His Majesty’s Royal Chism

Filed in National by on March 9, 2023

The BBC reports that the impending coronation of King Charles III will break from the established rituals of the British monarchy, altering the recipe of the sacred “chism oil” — yes, really — used to anoint the new monarch. This special magic juice is so hallowed that it was not even allowed to be shown on television during the coronation of Chuck’s mum, Queen Elizabeth II. Traditionally the “chism oil” — yes, really — has contained ingredients derived from the secretions of civets (also known as “those poop coffee cats“) as well as ambergris from the bile ducts of sperm whale intestines.

Due to concerns about animal cruelty, however, King Charles will use a special, animal-free variant of the “chism oil.” This will also be in keeping with his image as an environmentalism (which is not exactly an image I typically associate with Charles, but whatever).

    Ha, ha, the BoingBoing guy misspelled “chrism” to make it… funnier, I guess.

    Anyway, no matter what it’s made of the oil doesn’t get its magical properties until a priest consecrates it.

    Just use the secret baseball mud from the Delaware River

    Hippie elementary teachers? I didn’t get any until “high” school. However made up for it at U. of D.

    King Charles 3.0 is as newsworthy as today’s NJ story that the Wilmington diocese gave the OK to eat meat on this year’s St. Patrick’s day.
