uh-oh It's the Monty Python marathon
MY son is being indoctrinated into the Python cult as we speak! Amazing how well the sketches have held up over time. Still extremely funny.

13. it's that feeling of impending disaster
similar to what I felt when anything involved George Costanza from Seinfeld.

19. Well, all in all...a nice way to spend a Saturday night. One thing...
I wish Graham Chapman was still around. I think he would have gotten a kick of out "Spamalot", the musical based on "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". And the continued appreciation of Monty Python...by new generations like your son. :-)

:hi:

25. it is unfortunate that we have to look so far back
in the past for cool comedy. I really wish Graham Chapman were still around... he was so funny and such a cutie. They were all quite attractive, actually. ;)

From the Flying Lessons Sketch...

- snip


Mr Anemone: I'll show you whether I'm on a wire or not. Give me the 'oop.

Mr Chigger: What?

Mr Anemone: Oh, I don't suppose we know what an 'oop is. I suppose pater thought they were a bit common, except on the bleedin' croquet. lawn.

Mr Chigger: Oh, a hoop.

Mr Anemone: 'Oh an hoop.' (taking hoop) Thank you, your bleeding Highness. Now. Look. (he waves hoop aver head and feet)

Mr Chigger: Go on, right the way along.

Mr Anemone: All right, all right, all right. (he moves hoop all the way along himself allowing the wire to pass through obvious gap in hoop's circumference). Now, where's the bleeding wire, then?

Mr Chigger: That hoop's got a hole in.

Mr Anemone: Oh Eton and Madgalene. The hoop has an hole in. Of course it's got a hole in, it wouldn't be a hoop otherwise, would it, mush!

Mr Chigger: No, there's a gap in the middle, there.

Mr Anemone: Oh, a gahp. A gahp in one's hhhhhoop. Pardon me, but I'm orf to play the grahnd piano.

Mr Chigger: Look, I can see you're on a wire - look, there it is.

Mr Anemone: Look, I told you, you bastard, I'm not on a wire.

Mr Chigger: You are. There is.

Mr Anemone: There isn't.

Mr Chlgger: Is.

Mr Anemone: Isn't!

Mr Chigger: Is!

Mr Anemone: Isn't! ...
