Couldn't find the other thread so I'll start a new one.
Cut to a man standing in the countryside.)
Man: (rustic accent) Yes, you know it's a man's life in England's Mountain Green.
((The colonel enters briskly.)
Colonel: Right I heard that, I heard that, I'm going to stop this sketch now, and if there's any more of this, I'm going to stop the whole programme. I thought it was supposed to be about teeth anyway. Why don't you do something about teeth - go on. (walks off)

What's this? A Python thread? NOW you've done it...
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 Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist Socrates himself was permanently pissed...

Praline: Superintendent Parrot and I are from the hygiene squad. We want to have a word with you about your box of chocolates entified The Whizzo Quality Assortment. Milton: Ah, yes. Praline: If I may begin at the beginning. First there is the cherry fondue. This is extremely nasty, but we can't prosecute you for that. Milton: Agreed. Praline: Next we have number four, 'crunchy frog'. Milton: Ah, yes. Praline: Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in here? Milton: Yes. A little one. Praline: What sort of frog? Milton: A dead frog. Praline: Is it cooked? Milton: No. Praline: What, a raw frog? Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose. Praline: That's as maybe, it's still a frog.

Maybe if it was cooked.
But then it wouldn't be crunchy.

Continuing the food theme...
Woman: (switching the radio off) Liberal rubbish. Klaus ... what do you want with your jugged fish?
Man: Halibut.
Woman: The jugged fish is halibut.
Man: What fish have you got that isn't jugged, then?
Woman: Rabbit.
Man: What? Rabbit fish?
Woman: Yes. It's got fins.
Man: Is it dead?
Woman: Well, it was coughing up blood last night.
Man: All right I'll have the dead unjugged rabbit fish.
CAPTION: 'ONE DEAD UNJUGGED RABBIT FISH LATER'
Man: Well that was really horrible.
Woman: You're always complaining.
Man: What's for afters?
Woman: Well there's rat cake ... rat sorbet... rat pudding... or strawberry tart.
Man: Strawberry tart?!
Woman: Well it's got some rat in it.
Man: How much?
Woman: Three, rather a lot really.
Man: ... well, I'll have a slice without so much rat in it.
CAPTION: 'ONE SLICE OF STRAWBERRY TART WITHOUT SO MUCH RAT IN IT LATER'
Man: Appalling.
Woman: Moan, moan, moan.

Just read that my local PBS station is running a special series to last three or four weeks in which each of the remaining Pythons pick their favorite skits. Each Python gets an hour and they're showing them in two-hour blocks. It made me laugh and smile just to read about it. Apparently, everyone picked Fish Latin as one of their favorites. I'll be interested to see which of the Pythons has the most similar sense of humor to my own - or maybe everything will be so funny that I won't be able to tell.
Check your local schedules and set those VCRs, TiVos, DVRs....Do whatever ya gotta do!
I do hope that someone picked crunchy frog!

Cool! Must program my ReplayTV to catch that. I'll enjoy watching it with a class of red wine and some Camembert (no matter how f---ing runny it is).

Pepperpot 1: Penguins don't come from next door, they come from the Antarctic.
Pepperpot 2: Burma.
Pepperpot 1: Why did you say Burma?
Pepperpot 1: I panicked.

Ar. Exactly. Birds is the key to the whole problem. It's my belief that these sheep are laborin' under the misapprehension that they're birds. Observe their behavior. Take for a start the sheeps' tendency to 'op about the field on their back legs. (off-screen baa-ing) Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice that they do not so much fly as...plummet. (sound of sheep plummeting) Observe for example that ewe in that oak tree. She is clearly trying to teach her lamb to fly. (baaaaaa...thump) Talk about the blind leading the blind.

I thought the hour dedicated to Graham Chapman was hysterically funny and also touching. It was interesting to hear the rest of the Pythons' memories of him.
"the last two sketches i was in were extremely silly!"

I have TiVo, but only one box, so I can't record two things at once. I'm thinking of getting a second box - they're a lot cheaper the second time around. I hate having to resort to the old fashioned vcr.

I have the Tivo for my Satelite and it has multiple inputs. I ran an extra satelite line. My dish can actually support six lines. However two (actaull 3 with the master bedroom) seems to be enough. Been thinking about getting another Tivo for our bedroom so we could record 3 (4 if I ran another line) things at once since the kids are getting their own shows they want to tivo now.

The John Cleese and Terry Gilliam segments were on last night. Ministry of Silly Walks! Upperclass Twit of the Year! I was in tears! And I'd forgotten how funny Terry's animation bits were. Comrad Poohs and his Dancing Teeth.

I can't wait to watch them. I have such an obvious crush on John Cleese - it'll be interesting to see if he picked skits that make me laugh. I caught a couple of quick minutes of the TG section, and was laughing out loud at some of the animations. That guy is qualifies as visionary.
