" We used to dream of having a rolled up newspaper" and Ministry of Silly Walks.
Good old Flying Circus! | |

recommendations for a first introduction?
Doesn't matter where you start, if you really like them...you'll probably end up seeing them all more than once, and if you don't like them, you'll probably know pretty quick, and it won't matter.
They had a crazy TV show on the BBC in the early 70s, the inspiration for SNL.
They reached wide audiences with the films "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" "Life of Brian" and then "The Meaning of Life"...also entertaining is "The Secret Policeman's (Other) Ball".
Rent the first two and watch them in order, and if you like them, and especially if you don't, you should also try to see that early television series - 'Monthy Python's Flying Circus' and there is some really nutty stuff on their early LPs.
Grew up listening to them...around the same time that I was watching the dancing giraffe on CBC. Hmmmm, that. Both the series and the audio recordings contain things you've probably heard referenced...so even though you may claim to be a virgin, you may also be surprised to find out that you're not.
That's good. Nudge nudge. Say no more.
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?
Know what I mean?
I bet she does.
I bet she does.
Search Youtube for 'Monty Python Cheese Shop', if you like cheese. If you want to know where they say internet SPAM gets it's name, try searching 'Monty Python Spam' while you're there and watch for the singing vikings. Watch all you can see.
Funny stuff, no question. | |

"I wave my private parts at your Aunties"
and the shrubbery... where he orders them to bring a shrubbery... Can't remember the words though...
Someone just HAS to remember the words....

Posted: 3/21/2007 11:06:41 AM | For Fox:
From: http://www.intriguing.com/mp/
Arthur: Knights of Ni, we are but simple travelers who seek the enchanter who
lives beyond these woods.
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
Bedevere: No! Noooo! Aaaugh! No!
Knight of Ni: We shall say "Ni" to you... if you do not appease us.
Arthur: Well what is it you want?
Knight of Ni: We want.....
(pregnant pause)
A SHRUBBERY!!!!
(dramatic minor chord)
Arthur: A *WHAT*?
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni!! Ni! Ni!
Arthur; No! No! Please, please, no more! We will find you a shrubbery.
Knight of Ni: You must return here with a shrubbery... or else you will never
pass through this wood... alive.
Arthur: O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a
shrubbery.
Knight of Ni: One that looks nice.
Arthur: Of course!
Knight of Ni: And not *too* expensive.
Arthur; Yes!
Knight of Ni: Noowwwww.... GO!
(music) (time passage)
Arthur: O Knights of Ni. We have brought you your shrubbery. May we go now?
Knight of Ni: Yes, it is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly.
But there is one small problem....
Arthur: What is that?
Knight of Ni: We are now *no longer* the Knights Who Say "Ni"!
Other Knights of Ni: Ni! Shh! Shh!
Knight of Ni: We are now the Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang,
zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm".
Other Knight of Ni: Ni!
Knight of Ni: Therefore, we must give you a test.
Arthur: What is this test, o Knights of.....
Knights who 'til recently said "Ni"?
Knight of Ni: Firstly, you must find....
ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!!!
(another minor chord)
Arthur: Oh not *another* shrubbery!!
Knight of Ni: (excitedly) THEN... Then, when you have found the shrubbery,
you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly
higher, so we get the two-level effect with a little path
running down the middle.
Other Knights of Ni: A path! A path! A path! Shh, shhh. Ni! Ni!
Knight of Ni: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the
mightiest tree in the forest...
Wiiiiiithh.... A HERRING! | |

Posted: 3/21/2007 11:40:16 AM | | There are seriously too many for me to mention. My girlfriends and I were thinking of watching the Holy Grail this weekend because one of them is a MP virgin. She couldn't see the humor when one of us would pretend to be riding a horse while the other follows making a horse trotting sound .... sorry there were no coconuts to heighten the experience. Did you know that the sell the doll size characters ... even the Black Knight with removeable limbs. Priceless | |

It Was God!~ "Every time I try to talk to someone it's "sorry this" and "forgive me that" and "I'm not worthy". or, "that rabbits a killer" | |

Posted: 3/21/2007 8:42:29 PM | Yes it's long, but it came up at work today:
Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch! | |
