Monty Python's Flying CircusHere's a little heads-up for y'all. BBC America has started a Flying Circus festival. They're airing them all in order on Fridays in Huge blocks. The prints have been cleaned up and remastered so they're in fantastic condition. I'm DVRing them and we watched a couple last night... awesome as always. We got to see the Kamikaze Scotsmen, the Exploding Penguin, & How to Recognise Different Parts of the Body, which has always been a fav of mine... "Margret Thatcher's brain..." With this in mind, I thought I'd give y'all a little extra Python and then you can feel free to discuss your favorite sketches from the show. Here are what I consider to be the 5 best... I know a lot of people will point to the Dead Parrot as the pinnacle of their comedy, but I'll give you these instead:
Philosopher Football Match I love that Marx argues offsides
Cheese Shop It's runnier than you like
Bicycle Repair Man No ordinary man! (complete w/ Spanish subtitles)
The Ministry of Silly WalksIt's not really that silly at all, is it?
The Fish LicenseHe is an halibut
Moving Day
Things are coming together well and we've picked the beginning of next week for the big move. If you happen to have the time & want to stop by and help out I'd be greatly grateful. I would like to have the beds and other main things done on Monday, but Tuesday & Wednesday are fine too... anytime you can stop by would be awesome.
The Perfect AlibiNow that I'm moving and I have 15 years of vegetarian animal loving under my belt, I think I have the perfect cover story for when I see to it that the monstrosity next door joins the barking choir invisible. I've never hidden the fact that dogs aren't my favorite animimals, but it's gotten ridiculous. It has gotten to the point that this shit-head is outside backing for at least 15 hours a day. Maybe it doesn't spend the whole time barking, but it's damn close. (I know, I know... it's not the dog's fault... well it wont be my fault either because after a year & a half of this, I'm sure the psychological trauma is obvious). I've thought of knifing the mother fucker, or just jacking it upside the head w/ a shovel, but I think poison will be the best plan. There are only 2 holes in otherwise watertight plan. 1) the raccoon story & 2) the fact that I had a couple coney dogs a& some chili cheese fries a couple years ago. If we can keep these 2 little facts under wraps, I think the plan should work & we'll be less 1 annoying asshat mutt. (I suppose this post might be used against me too.)
