Just curious, that's all...

cjomomma 01-30-2011 07:44 PM

I used to watch it all the time. If I run across the reruns I have to watch it.

erstan947 01-30-2011 07:49 PM

no

bj 01-30-2011 07:59 PM

I don't see them much any more...but still love them when I do. One of my all time favorite skits by them is the Lumberjack one.

lauriejo 01-30-2011 08:02 PM

And now for something completely different! One of the shows that DH, DS and I all enjoy.

leatheflea 01-30-2011 08:03 PM

Minstrel: [singing] When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Run away.
Run away.

“He's not pining, he's passed on. This parrot is no more. He has ceased to be. He's expired and gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff, bereft of life, he rests in peace. If you hadn't have nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!”

lauriejo---your avatar is delightfully pythonish--the world is a better place for humans of this ilk

Naturalmama 01-30-2011 10:04 PM

Too fun. Thx for asking this. :lol: :thumbup:

Rainy Day 01-31-2011 01:34 AM

When Life of Brian came out, I was going out with a guy called Roderick. The relationship did not survive all of my fwiends calling him Wodewick!

ckcowl 01-31-2011 02:43 AM

too funny :thumbup: 25 years ago, my brother and i would get together and have 'monty python movie marathon weekends'! we were living out west...(Portland, Oregon area) and in the winter when it was rainy, cold and dreary renting a dozen monty python movies was loads of fun!

Sue Fors 01-31-2011 03:16 AM

"Bring out your dead!"
"I wet them!"
"It's a flesh wound!"

lauriejo 01-31-2011 05:14 AM

Thanks Jemma :-P

"spam spam spam spam... Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!"

Jo M 01-31-2011 05:37 AM

Hahahaha...one of my favorites. "He's just pining for the fjords."

She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land.

**I have this quote on a shirt - guess where the line "huge tracts of land" goes across? :P

feline fanatic 01-31-2011 07:17 AM

Well Favoritie Fabrics, looks like we not only have fans of Monty Python we have those that know the lines! Myself included.... "No one suspects the Spanish Inquisition!"

I too love MP and Holy Grail is in my DVD collection. Love the killer monster bunny rabbit and the French castle scene "I don't want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

ptquilts 01-31-2011 07:48 AM

me, yes, DH, no. You can find your favorite clips on Youtube if you need a fix.
I liked Kids in the Hall too, had that same humor.

Maggiemay 01-31-2011 07:49 AM

"and I fart in your general direction"!! (my favorite quote)! :D

patmas57 01-31-2011 09:23 AM

I got better!

I have a T shirt from Spamalot that reads "I'm Not Dead Yet." It provokes a variety of responses from people who are familiar with Monty Python and not. I can't wear it to the mall, though; it seems to frighten teenagers...

SuzyDee 01-31-2011 09:35 AM

I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK! Hey! what's that on the telly?

Ok, all of you Python fans...

There is a card game out there called "Monty Python Fluxx"... and it is absolutely hysterical!

http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/games/ae1c/

The family and I (well, all those family members with a sense of HUMOR) played it the other night... and I highly recommend it for anyone whose life needs... an infusion of levity.

"We are no longer the knights who say ni! We are now the knights who say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!”

redkimba 01-31-2011 06:26 PM

I forgot this one:

Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.


gold star if you can name what this is talking about...

'Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow
thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and
people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies,
and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large --"

"And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the
Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three
shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting
shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two,
excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once
the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou
thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty
in my sight, shall snuff it.'"

My 19 year old DS quotes Monty Python all the time, and he can remember whole skits! Oh to be young and still have a brain.
