Foxy has been appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire:

Gerald Singer reports that Foxy will travel to England to personally receive the honor from the Queen.


The man's certainly done well for himself. He figured out how to make a living doing what he likes without having to leave home. There are certainly some big picture issues about the impact on Jost, but Foxy is really an amazing story. I wonder what he'll wear to meet the Queen. I wonder if she'll want to have her picture taken with him even more than he'll want to have his taken with her. Imagine that! A photo of Foxy and the Queen of England tacked up somewhere on a wall at Foxy's. And it won't have been Photoshopped.



I wonder what he'll wear.

Does this make him "Sir Foxy" now?

I've never known anyone personally who's been knighted before. This is super exciting and a HUGE honor for Foxy.

He won't like wearing shoes, I'll tell you that.

Has he ever worn shoes Ruth? I have never seen him do so.
Someone told me once he went on a plane and they asked him for shoes and he had none.....
