On channel 503 they are showing The Meaning of Life. I know that we have had a few Python threads lately so I thought I would give a few of you a heads up. So if you get this right now it is on right now. It just started. ---

I was fairly impressed with myself since my husband doesn’t like Monty Python, and he was actually letting me watch it! I didn’t mean to make anyone feel inadequate. 503 is digital cable. And Hypergirl you definantly win. I wish I had any of them on tape. Oh, wait, I did have the Holy Grail, but it walked out of my apartment one nite. I got the strangest look from hubby when I started singing every sperm is sacred. And when I laughed hysterically about her asking if the child was a boy or a girl and he told her isn’t it a bit early to start pressing gender roles? You fine folks are where I get my dose of Monty Python. And I love you all for it! ---

[internal voice]What am I complaining about? All I need to do is find out what movies were on there and recopy them. And what the hell is she doing with five hundred + channels? Even if it _is_ digital cable, I want a lot of channels too! Well, actually, since I rarely watch tv anymore in favor of spending my life either in bed, posting, or going out at night, that would be a stupid idea.[/internal voice] ---

**Moderator Notes:** That ain’t a **quote** , that’s an entire _scene_. A small quote is fine (preferably with a link to site that uses it legally). Larger quotes need to be accompanied by a link, at least. Entire scenes? I’d say that’s not really advisable. I know these rules are a bit vague, and we trust in your common sense to apply them. Sometimes, these are tough calls. This one was pretty clear, however. Thanks for your cooperation. Coldfire MPSIMS Mod [Edited by Coldfire on 01-06-2001 at 07:24 PM] ---

Now for something completely different… they re-ran all of the Monty Pythin films over Christmas on BBC2 - isn’t the Beeb wonderful? Boomfly - talk to dpr - you could be made his minister of silly posts. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/monty-python-fans-in-here/48497.md?page=2)
