Anyone here like Monty Python?

Monty Python is great. They are all acting so ridiculous, you spend more time on the floor than on your chair The Holy Grail is my favourite (I especially like the scenes where they use half coconuts instead of horses and the one with the killer rabbit. Marvelous!)

I share the sentiment of falling out of your chair laughing. I've spent many a show with sore sides from laughing so hard.

Yes: "You've got two empty 'alves of coconuts and you're bangin' em togevah!"

Also: "For death awaits ye with nasty, big, pointy teeth!"

"Run away! Run away!" ... By the way, does anyone out there know how to spell the name of the "rabbit-beast"? I'ts sounds like: keyer banoff or some such, but I don't know gaelic (or whatever he was speaking), so I'd like to know how it should be spelled (one of my sidelines in life is an obsession with language - any language - spelling, pronunciation, origin...)

The Holy Grail was the greatest!!! Especially the rabbit, and the bridge... and the black knight... and "BRING OUT YE DEAD"... "Hey here ya go"... "Hey I'm not dead"... God, but that was hilarious!!! Did you all ever read the credits before and at the end of the movie?

About the credits - I even freeze framed the darned things to make sure I didn't miss anything! All the nordic "o"s and the mooses (meese?) Then all the llamas! Too much!

I, too, LOVED how they always got better after some tragic thing:

"Sweet Concord, you shall not have died in vain!"
"Actually, I'm not quite dead, sir."
"Well then, you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain!"
"Um, actually, I'm feeling a lot better."

OR

"But you fell from the tall tower, you twit. How'd you survive?"
"Well, I'll tell you..." *music starts*
"Not like that! Not like that!!!"

Now I shall go and attempt some daring feat in my own particular idiom!

ROFL. Sorry DragonMage - the parrot was a Norwegian Blue, he wasn't pining for the 'fields' he was pining for the 'fjords'. I guess it was Michael Palin's strange London accent.

I remeber being in my last year at school when the original TV shows were on. We would sit about the morning after to discuss the true meaning of the sketches and the social relevance of Python (what prats we were!)

I saw them performing live on stage in the 1980's. The show ended and a sign flashed up' The End' but not a soul moved. After about 3 minutes John Cleese popped his head around the curtain and emerged carrying the dead parrot. After the dead parrot sketch we again waited, until a sign was flashed up 'Now F*** Off'

Epona, did you notice the new line in my sig which I added when England beat Germany 5-1?

Nitpicky are we, eh, Donut?
Okay, okay. Point taken. It doesn't surprise me if I flubbed the "fields"/"fjords" thing. It's been a while since I've actually seen that one. But, truthfully, it SOUNDED like he said 'fields'. Then again - for years I thought Obi-Wan had said (upon the destruction of Alderaan) "it's as if millions of OYSTERS cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced". Cracks me up every time I think of it. I heard it wrong in the theater and then STILL heard in wrong several times after my Dad bought the movie. Of course, in 1977, I was only 8 years old - but still: millions of OYSTERS!

I must be losing my mind...Oh wait! Did I ever have one of those?

I have to admit I've been saying the fields/fjords to myself and in a London accent there is absolutely no difference in the sound. No wonder English is so hard to learn.

Mind you I don't think Slartibartfast would get an award for his 'fields'

Hey DragonMage,
