Ooh oooh ooh! us us us! please pleas please! (the old set is on VHS and must go!)
I live with two small children. ’nuff said.
I know a lottttt of Bruces.
Pick me!!! My hovercraft is full of eels!!!
I lost a finger in a garbage disposal accident. Just a flesh wound…
it’s a fair cop…
Trye story: I was imitating something I saw on a Monty Python skit as I was returning a pitcher of lemonade to my refrigerator. I tripped, and the pitcher opened and spilled onto and into every possible nook, cranny and crevice of the the fridge, and seeped into the food, bottles, eggs, etc. It was a FOUR hour cleanup job, since the lemonade was all over the floor too. I wish I could remember the exact name of the skit. Or maybe I should hope to forget it!
we used to do silly walks in the mall for fun.
Me me me! Just saw spamalot and can’t get enough python now!
since my son saw his first montey python everything has been just a flesh wound
Only 10 responses? I like these odds. Let’s see…something Pythonesque. A friend of mine did slap me in the face once with a fish in a farmers market; the fishmonger was not as amused as we were. I can easily identify the Larch. I never expect the Spanish Inquisition. I once asked if they had Venezuelan Beaver Cheese at a cheese shop and the proprietory, without missing a beat, replied “Not today sir, no.” I buy all my cheese there now. Oh, and I intend to have one of my friends read John Cleese’s eulogy of Graham Chapman at my own funeral.
I have often pondered how much a swallow can really carry.
I’ve been a huge python fan since I was a kid. When I was little, my best friend had python cassette tapes. We used to listen to them over and over. It was years before I found out that there were visuals to go along with all the skits. I thought that they just did a radio show type of thing!
That and my sisters went to school with John Cleese’s daughter.
I’m a Lumberjack…really!
When I last visited London with my friends we did some silly walks for a block every now and then to liven things up.
love the pythons
Thanks for the chance.

I’ve never had a dead parrot, but I’ve had a dead Parakeet (or maybe I should say Budgie).
My sister can recite just about every line from Python classics and I would love to give this to her. Nothing Pythonesque has crossed in my life other than hearing her over and over again.
My son is 15. It never ends.
once i was in a campground, and two young kids woke me up in the morning running around clacking coconut shells together, while pretending to gallop on horses.
My father actually did smell of elderberries.
I have a friend that actually ran over himself with his own car like the Twit Of The Year skit. It looked insanely funny, but he really got hurt. He didn’t die, but he spent time in the hopsital and much time recouperating.
One time, I got really fat and exploded all over my friends.
I recently included a line from the Holy Grail in my blog on Google. The theme being “55+ is the new 30″ for employers to contemplate. I included the line said by the poor medieval peasant fellow being dragged from his home saying “I’m not dead yet!” and being repeatedly hit over the head with a mallet. This is a great analogy of how it feels to be over qualified, over 50 and looking for work!
at work, when its pretty dead we’d so some silly walks just to amuse ourselves and see who can get sillier.
currently, my pelvis is nailed to the floor. (and i use sarcasm.)
When I was at Harvard Medical School doing research, I had a summer student who was the dux of that year at the Med School (based on the grades). I was showing him how to use a simple, very simple device. Explaining to him and getting him to make the device work (which never happened), reminded me so much of the scene from The Holy Grail where the king is unsuccessfully telling the guards to guard the Prince and make sure he doesn’t “Leave the room”. Pathetic!!!
i had a dead parrot.
my dad got me into monty python when i was 13. i’m now 18 and i’ve subsequently shared it with every friend i have, and up until recently, we used to have weekly meetings where we’d have our own argument clinics, ministries of silly walks and enlistings for kamikazee scotsmen.
also, i have two cats that i confuse on a regular basis.
So many Pythonesque moments, so little time. But the best one would have to be when I went to my Aunt’s house in Whittier and she had a ceramic penquin on her television. She had no idea why I was laughing hysterically.
My parents still do the “nudge, nudge, wink, wink” thing all the time. It’s moderately embarrassing but it does always make me laugh.
need to learn the entire philosopher song
When I was in college my friends nicknamed me “Shrubbery”, kinda for the same reason that bald guys are often nicknamed “Curly”.
I lost 3 years of my life to a disease I did not deserve and this phone would help me reach out to those I have lost contact with-plus impress and/ or start up a conversation with someone I do not know –and that would help because I am very shy–and i am poor— It would make me very happy and give me something to look forward to in my sad and pathetic life… I would appreciate it very very much
