Okay, who here loves Monty Python? Every time that I see "bring outcher dead," I just can't stop thinking of it. I'm pretty sure it was The Meaning of Life, but I could be wrong. But the whole thing is crazy. I'm exceptionally susceptible to "ear worms" or whatever you want to call it. I get stuff stuck in my head and it won't go away. Does that make me weird?
Just seeing the subject on that thread has me hearing "Calling Mr. Death" and "Spam, spam, spam, spam" and, of course, "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" There are plenty more and they are all incessantly floating around in my brain, thanks.
Funny story... When I did a semester in Prague with a bunch of international students, there was one British guy and for the first week or so, our entire conversation was nothing but Monty Python quotes. "Just one more mint, sir. It's just a tiny, little wafer" - before the giant guy explodes in the restaurant.
Am I the only one? I know most Americans just don't get the British humor, but I absolutely love it. It's so subtle, silly yet intelligent. I laugh until I cry and sometimes even pee myself. Heehee!
So, come on, share your favorite lines! From Monty or anyone else. What makes you laugh and do other people share it with you?

Re: monty python?
Sun, February 24, 2008 - 7:39 AMHow can anyone choose a fave...there's so much! I started watching Python at around age 10. My sister and I would memorize the sketches and recite them, over and over (much to my father's chagrin). We both have the complete series on DVD, too, 'cause we're such geeks <lol>. I think that the fact that my husband could recite the French Castle scenes is part of the reason that I feel for him!
"So, you think you could out-clever us French folk with your silly knees-bent running about advancing behavior?! I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey-bottom biters." -

Oh, Heather. Bless you for running with that.

And things seem hard, or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious, or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough,

Re: monty python?
Thu, February 28, 2008 - 12:58 AMMy famiy makes a great spam salad, which we call knickerbocker. It's ground spam with onion, sweet pickles, hard-boiled eggs and Miracle Whip; It turns out to make a lovely spread for bread or crackers. I have no idea where it came from, probably depression or WWII origination, with a good bit of Pennsylvania Dutch influence.. but it is soooo good. I probably make it once or twice a year and I doubt it is particuarly healthy, but ya just gotta love it. I even bought the grinder attachment for my Kitchenaide mixer - and I'm seriously thinking about the pasta attachment, too. Yes, I'm Betty - as in Betty Crocker, goddess of the kitchen. Anyway, just had to share.

Re: monty python?
Thu, February 28, 2008 - 5:08 AMMmmm, Spam and Miracle Whip! Sound like the kind of childhood dinner my ex described. Toss in a little lime Jell-O with canned fruit for desert, and you're all set.
