The Full Monty

HolyGrail061.gif In my newfound dedication to abjure things serious, I hereby declare today Monty Python day.

This is an open thread dedicated to a full and frank discussion of all things Monty Python.

To set the proper mood, I thought I'd post a few of my favorite MP3's:

At last John Kerry comes clean about that Purple Heart wound...

A rare moment of honesty from Michael Jackson

Nancy Hopkins, or the entire faculty of Harvard University

Lawrence Summers apologizes, on behalf of male chauvinists everywhere...

...but not surprisingly, the faculty are not mollified...

...and pundits everywhere deplore his insensitivity.

Well, you forgot the moonbats as the Phrench, but hey, works for me. BTW, how DO you load up MP3 files? Never mind. I am googling as I type.

I have been searching or a while for a copy of "The
Secretpolicemans ball"-a Monty Python concert with so many great skits. Have you ever heard of it?

Posted by: j. at March 4, 2005 10:46 AM

Sorry j. no help from me, but if you find it let us know.

John Kerry's early exit from Vietnam.

Actually I thought today was POETS day.

Posted by: Rodney Dill at March 4, 2005 11:49 AM

Well I can't believe no one's posted this one.

Posted by: Cassandra at March 4, 2005 12:34 PM

I actually have both versions of the Secret Policeman's Ball on VINYL.

You know, the old technology.

Back when dinosaurs were turning into dirt.

Well let's just hope they don't encounter any killer bunnies

On Governor Dean's Political Career after his Appointment to DNC Chair.


I'm having way too much fun for a workday.

Upcoming invective from Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats for Bush43's judicial nominees:

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!...Now go away, before I taunt you a second time-ah!"

So, would the "Flinging of Cows" be the most recent Phrench military victory?

I really need to get me that desktop trebuchet and make the Trojan Rabbit BillT told me about.

Posted by: Masked Menace© at March 4, 2005 02:44 PM

Oh, stop it! I'm about to bust my ribs from laughing so hard - especially re: Masked Menace's comment about Dean, and Kerry's exit from Vietnam...

Masked Menace, you are a danger to society. I like that!

Well, I don't know about you all, but Fridays always have me considering a change of career

Posted by: Cassandra at March 4, 2005 03:10 PM

Cassie, we never knew ye...transgendered lumberjill.
As a gay man in a woman's body, I heartily endorse your change of career.

Posted by: Cricket at March 4, 2005 03:17 PM

You might want to cross this pet shop off the possible career lists, though.

Romeocat, Thanks. Ever since "The Incredibles" came out, masks are becoming a little more fashionable.

Posted by: Masked Menace© at March 4, 2005 03:40 PM

Or I could always become a philosopher...

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

Good Lord... speaking of philosophers...and beer...

Remember this???

Madness...sheer madness.

I think we need another beer poem challenge in honor of Monty Python and Rodney's earlier Poetry Day comment. We have all weekend.

Posted by: Cassandra at March 4, 2005 03:48 PM

It's a fair cop, but socie'y's t'blame.

Posted by: Ciggy at March 4, 2005 04:05 PM

Thanks for the link there Cass. I think we all used to be more creative, I love that thread.

Posted by: Pile On® at March 4, 2005 05:04 PM

That's one of my top three favorite threads too, Pile. I dunno about 'used to' though. I think it's just a question of moment and madness.

The Barboursville thread just happened and that was pretty funny and creative too. And part of it is just people having the time to sit around and come up with that crap - that's one element - I think in the summertime or around vacations it's easier for those things to happen. Lately I've just been too busy to even think about doing anything like that, but when I get done with my projects (and you have the Onlette) we'll have some time to play again.

...ah, now I know why I like this blog. It is a silly place.

You must bring us a glass...a nice one...but not too expensive. And then you must bring us a second one and place it a little bit higher to create a two level effect with a path for the water between them.

Monty Pythons (Holy Grail) Glass.


'E's passed on! This glass is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! Bereft of life, If you hadn't smashed 'im to to bits 'e'd be watering the daisies! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-GLASS!!

Monty Python's Parrot Glass

Well it's a lot better than Camelot

Posted by: Cassandra at March 4, 2005 06:25 PM

But if we're lucky we might still see some dancing with footwork im-pec-able.

But if you're looking for only pecable dancing, John of Argghhh! might suit that need.

Posted by: Masked Menace© at March 4, 2005 06:46 PM

You are probably right Cass, I am likely projecting anyway. I think I suffer from lack of influence of the hive mind. I seldom understood what the hell he/she/they were talking about but he/she/they did serve as a muse.

Posted by: Pile On® at March 4, 2005 07:36 PM

I don't care if I never see another lupin till the day I die!

Why don't you go out and steal something useful!

You know, many of my friends are bloggers, and only a few are transvestites.
