Oh man I really wanted him to be drunk but after watching I agree. I think just regular boring locked knees There is a longer video where he dropped the medal and then had a really hard time bending down and picking it up. It was weird- like a full body stiffness and difficulty grasping. He was really off and then looked much better later in the night, like he was given some IV fluids and meds to perk him up. He's not doing well for whatever reason. If you lock your knees and stand that way for a while you can just pass right out we have had scouts do it quite often standing around a flag burning ceremony lock their knees, turn white, fall over almost into the fire. then sometimes take an hour to perk back up to look normal so if he stood there with locked knees and then was looking weird trouble bending over it makes sense to me. Also, I can imaging hearing your dad has cancer, and that you are next in line, here comes the king and you internally freak out.

I only lurk this thread but I just miss Jenna so much <3 Me too. I still think about her often. 💙 I randomly saw her husband at a grocery store once like a year or two ago and didn’t say anything but my heart still aches for him and their beautiful babies.

I’m a bit confused by this exchange. Is she someone who was active on the board and passed recently? I feel like I missed this. What a bummer if so. so sorry to hear.

Is she someone who was active on the board and passed recently? I feel like I missed this. What a bummer if so. so sorry to hear. We were all active on the knot together and then gbcn. She was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in her 30s and passed a few years ago. She was one of those people who went from random internet poster to friend. When she was really really ill I was struggling with my job and she sent me a care package. She was just super thoughtful and kind. <3

I mean, Will has been standing at attention at various important events his entire life. Would he not know how to not lock his knees?

I still don't know what is going on with Willy but I can tell you firsthand that your only surviving parent being diagnosed with cancer, even caught very early and with an excellent prognosis, cuts you off at the knees. So I can't shit on him right now. Yup. Also I wonder if it’s hard for him to hear that music or if he tuned it out. (They played God Save the King) I guarantee he heard it, he took a big gulp when it played, as though he was fighting back emotion.

Like I know the dude is objectively a dick, but I don't believe multiple handlers and staff would have looked at him, seen that he was visibly drunk, and said "welp we're already here so let's just go for it."
There would be no way to spin a medal recipient getting puked on or going to the press saying "he was glassy eyed and smelled like booze but look at my shiny new pin!"

I have to imagine the lyrics to “Here comes the king” would be so much more fun than “God save the king.”

I'm still so confused why they picked Harry but 🤷🏼♀️ The only thing I could think of is the Invictus Games? Maybe some sort of PR for the athletic side?

They’re drugging Will so he doesn’t reveal that Kate has run off with a footman. ::dundun:: Did you type this with the Law & Order sound in mind? Because that's what I heard in my head. One hundred percent.

I have to get my first one thanks to my age and I don't want to do it, but I think about Jenna and how she'd tell me to suck it up already. Where do we stand on that whole "send your poop away in a box" situation? Would do if I could. I’m high risk and cannot. Started the 5 year plan at 40.

I will scream from the mountaintops to get all the screenings. But I have pretty much every cancer in my family history, so I may be a bit over the top. When they make me fill out forms I kinda want to know if I can just check those that don’t apply. I would be easier.

Oh and if I was Will, probably would show up drunk. I mean, not like his ancestors were sober at shit.

Get your colonoscopies! Sure, it’s annoying and inconvenient, but when stacked up against alllll the other shit women have to deal with at the doctor, it’s a piece of cake for most people. Take a nice nap and go get your favorite takeout afterward.

I just want to say that today I have an appointment with a colorectal specialist that I have been dreading and was very close to canceling. This thread made me force myself to keep it and just get it done.

I'm still so confused why they picked Harry but 🤷🏼♀️ I'm not. The award is for players who do a lot of good on the field and off. It's big on philanthropy and community service. The recipient's dad had cancer so he spearheaded a movement in 2015 to bring awareness to it on the field. (Something with the black smudges under his eyes if I remember) His current charity is about things that affect children like hunger, and cancer, and literacy. He also supports teachers. I'm not a Steeler's fan (my mom was) but Cameron Heyward seems to use his status to bring light to children/families in need. I can totally see Harry wanting to help celebrate that!

Thank you for explaining the WPMOY award to me.
