Who's a full-on Monty Python geek?

I don't mean people who know "Spam, Spam, Spam" or "I fart in your general direction." I mean geeks — like you know how many kilts Angus Podgorny sold last year (9 1/2) or why Mr. Pither kept falling off his bicycle (the pump got caught in his trouser leg) or which regiment of the Royal Army was into working with fabrics and experimenting with interior design (the Durham Light Infantry).

C'mon! Stand up, shout "Albatross!" and be proud of your geekdom!

Yours etc.

Yeah. :)

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so here goes.

Bush: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

Democrats: Order, eh? Who does he think he is?

Bush: I am your president!

Democrats: Well, I didn't vote for you.

Bush: You don't vote for presidents.

Democrats: Well, how did you become president, then?

Bush: The blacked robed supreme justices appoint you. That is why I am your president!

Democrats: Listen. Strange unelected individuals living in ivory towers distributing power to one egotistical maniac is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical judicial appointment by people who run around in black robes who are themselves appointed by people in power.

I like to press wild flowers ...

*WHAP* -splash- :-)

I have the CD-Rom "Monty Python's Complete Waste Of Time" here also.

And who can ever forget Graham Chapman's funeral! :rofl:

My favorite sketches are:
The Four Yorkshiremen
Army Protection Racket

you know what makes my skin crawl? Have ya'll ever read a thread on FR where one of the posters drops in a Python reference? (shudder!) I always want to ask them "don't you realize that all the members of the troupe are raving leftists?"

For the evening geeks. :hi:

There are Hindus and Mormons and then
There are those that follow Mohammad, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six footer,
You don't have to have a great brain,
You don't have to have any clothes on,
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came, because

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathen spill theirs,
On the dusty ground,
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Morman,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Every sperm is useful,
Every sperm is fine,
God needs everybody's,
Mine, and mine, and mine.

Let the pagans spill theirs,
O'er mountain, hill and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Being able to say Johann Gambolputty...von Haukoptf auf Ulm's full name from memory, without a printed reference.

I cannot do this, but I knew a guy who could. Unsurprisingly, the guy had like ZERO social skills.

I can't do it either. Hell, I don't even have the Funniest Joke in the World memorized, and it's in my profile.

otherwise you'd be running around killing people for no reason. :hi:

I'm not an official Python geek, but I am a staunch admirer, not only of all things Python, but also the fans. :)

Yikes! I might accidentally kill MissHoneychurch! :cry:

I heard it translated on some Python doc once. It's utter nonsense.



Which stands to reason. :silly:

"Oooh, hello Mrs. Cutout".

:rofl:

No really, I can't stand thier stuff, as evidenced by the bunnies. ;)

With nasty, big, pointy teeth?

Or did you have those installed?



(In the bunnies, I mean.)

:blush:

in the other shot.



But it wasn't because I was looking at your legs or anything.

:blush:

;)

except that I am busy arguing theology in a vat of custard.

But I'm suspended over a tin of condemned veal.

Ask me anything. I'll charter you an accountant.

But I look under my bed every night, just the same...by the way--does anyone know what the hell happened to the 11:pm showings of Python on BBC America? Are they a thing of the past...?...:-( :-( :-(...

In the case of Monty Python on at 11pm - it's on tonight, so I guess your request went voom and I didn't even shoot up a single volt.

I guess people have been flying a Mile High instead.

I've been watching Monty on the On Demand thing on the cable instead: then I can have it any time I want.

Or my friend BT could help out now and again... (but BT does get his stuff from the black market so don't tell anyone).

I remember being home from college one time and putting it on the family room tv. It was just me and my 8yr old sister home. A few minutes later my Dad got home, changed out of his suit, and sat down and said "what the hell is this?" My little sister said "it's funny Dad, watch", which he did, something like the ladies from the Chelsea Street Garden Club re-enacting the battle of Hastings. Then they cut to the cartoon part with a naked lady. Dad sent my sister off to bed at that point(did I mention that he was a conservative Catholic, and a republican?)and watched the rest. My sister told me later that he never missed an episode. She used to sneak down and watch from the kitchen.

re-enacting the battle of Pearl Harbor.

But since it's been 30 years, I'll give ya props. :thumbsup:

I don't think it was Pearl Harbor. There was a lot of smacking with purses.:shrug: :hi:

Was that in the series? :shrug:

In the series, the Batley Townswomen's Guild did two re-enactments: the battle of Pearl Harbor (at the shore) and the first heart transplant (in a muddy field).

an old english battle. I should do some research. Damn. Can I get back to you after the holidays?

that erupted into an orgy, complete with a very large goose. And there was a discussion of the Battle of Trafalgar in the "18th Century Social Legislation" sketch — the one introduced by Carol Cleveland in a negligee, writhing on a bed.

But... :shrug:

Will not be the first time, especially in the last 4 years. I just have this feeling that I'm remembering it correctly. I remember the Pythons dressed as women and charging up a hill, then a couple coming back down and talking to the camera.

Because now I'm really curious too. :7

The only other thing I can think of is when some Germans were climbing a hill dressed in tutus in the trailer for a war movie. That was in the episode with the court martial of Eric Idle with Terry Jones as the presiding officer who ordered in the Skating Vicar and had everybody sing "Anything Goes."



No, this one:

AnyTHING goes in
AnyTHING goes out
Fish, bananas
Old pyjamas
Mutton, beef and trout



God. It's no wonder I am the way I am. :silly:

Since I just bought this, I might be a geek. I bought it tonight at Barnes and Noble for $10!!

It is huge! What a deal.

I mean, the right leg isn't silly at all and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step.


Ha!

Defense against fresh fruit.

"No thanks, tell him I've already got one."

That's one of my favorite sketches. Especially when Mr. Jalin gets horny listening to Zorba talk about the sex life of the common clam.

"Disgustin'!" *stomp*

"OH, MOLLUSCS! I thought you said BACON!"

:woohoo:

"Burglar"
"You're not an encyclopedia salesmen, are you?"

:applause:

"Careers Advisory Board." Graham Chapman sticking his thumbs in his ears and going "rrrrraaawwwwwwwkkkk" is just priceless.

And the first one of that episode, "Confuse-A-Cat." :rofl:

Confuse-A-Cat.

Classic.

Cleese appeared as the Colonel and not Chapman.

Worth noting. :thumbsup:

And I loved how Mrs. B kept shushing Mr. A. He couldn't even get "Yes" out. :rofl:

And any sketch with "Wait for it!" is a good one. :7

"Right, cut to me. As Officer Commanding the Regular Army's Advertising Division, I object, in the strongest possible terms to this obvious reference to our own slogan 'lt's a dog's life ... a man's life in the modern army' and I warn this programme that any recurrence of this sloppy long-haired civilian plagiarism will be dealt with most severely."

the camera will cut to camera two. All right, director... wait for it! Camera cut!"

"This is my only line."



Well played, good sir Slothrop! :applause:

"It could grip it by the husk."

On edit: left out a word.

I did my best to memorize the records (which were the most readily available Python medium), the TV episodes and the movies back in the day. I couldn't have told you the number of kilts, though.

Just to avoid confusion.

Way up on the top of the lefthand margin is a piece of meaningless scribble - and he's signed his name underneath it! Oh dear, what a disapointing start. But his off again - and here he goes - the first word of Thomas Hardy's new novel, at ten thirtyfive on this very lovely morning, it's three letters, it's the definite article, and it's 'The'.

Dennis?"

No surprises there. He started five of his eleven novels with the definite article we’ve had two of them with the "it," there's been one 'but,' two 'ats,' one 'on' and a 'Delorios.' But, of course, that was never published."

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant

Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel

Socrates himself was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill of his own free will

Half a crate of whiskey every day
