A Monstrous Random Post

Prince Charles is giving a speech to a bunch of architects in London, and some are boycotting it. Supposedly he's not a fan of the popular glass- and steel modern architecture and that upsets them. The only reason I mention this is because I read the following quote of his... and it WILDLY amused me!!!
He called a proposed extension to Britain's National Gallery:

"A monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend."

Now don't you think that anyone who can reference something as boring as a building with such vivid word pictures ought to be given some credit!? I do, anyhow.
If I were to use the words "monstrous", ""carbuncle" and "elegant" in the same sentence, (i.e.- "That monstrous wale is elegant despite the carbuncles upon his back...") you all would laugh me to scorn.

You tell 'em, Highness.
