Onion/MP article

[Dinsdale]

Just read this week's copy of the Onion (sorry, hard copy, no link). Starting on Page 7 is an essay by some guy discussing how he is going to impress a coffee shop waitress with his encyclopedic repertoire of material from the Holy Grail.

"Perchance, after all these months, she will finally ask what my name is, and I will be able to come back with, '[SUPPLY THE LINE YOURSELVES, ALL YOU MP GEEKS].' I would then laugh and tell my fair Aimee that, joking aside, I'm really called Larry. In that moment, I will have won her.

After all, what more could a fetching lass want than to be wooed with perfectly memorized dialogue from the funniest film ever made?"

Am I looking in a mirror, or what?!

hahahahahahaha! Dinsdale, if you still want to have a loopy liquid lunch in the Loop sometime I'll match you line for line. We can even expand into Life of Brian.

"All I said was that that halibut was good enough for Jehovah!"

[Dinsdale]

Oh maggie - read the end of the article. Don't tell me you are one of the "all-too-common breed of philistine who actually prefers Life of Brian to the obviously superior Grail."

I assumed we were still on for next Friday. Figgered I'd post something next week. Or, if you would prefer a less ETOH-filled weekend, how bout the 27th?

[magdalene]

I'm not THAT kind of Philistine, Dinsdale.

The 27th might work better. From what Val tells me about these gatherings I should be close to over my hangover by then. I'm down here every day, so am flexible!

That "article" reminds me of all you geeks (;)) who recite the "unladen swallow" gag every chance you get, such as here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38981) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=39899) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=13796) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=29175) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=29040) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=28621) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=26503) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25263) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=21053&pagenumber=2) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=21427) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23049) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=21061) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=10252) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=20326) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=20133) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=22762) here, (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=22743) and here (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=18127).

"Perchance, after all these months, she will finally ask what my name is, and I will be able to come back with, '[SUPPLY THE LINE YOURSELVES, ALL YOU MP GEEKS].'

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die."? :D
