I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay . . . “Honey, who is it?” “It’s a Mr. Death; he’s come about the reaping. I really don’t think we want any.” And the mouse xylophone, playing “Three Blind Mice” with real mice and a big mallet – EEK! Eek! eek!, EEK! Eek! eek! Hah! I love Python. 🙂 ---

We (bored dorm rats) have figured out that the “witch”'s usage of “It’s a fair cop” pretty much means “Yeah, those were fair proceedings.” Oh yeah - let me just say that THEY dressed me up like this… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Quadzilla \* > \*\*We (bored dorm rats) have figured out that the “witch”'s usage of “It’s a fair cop” pretty much means “Yeah, those were fair proceedings.” > \*\* Well, it’s a running gag, you see. I can think of at least a half dozen times _in the TV show alone_ that ises either “It’s a fair cop,” or the more advanced version, “It’s a fair cop, but society’s to blame.” Cut I don’t feel like ploughing through Vols. 1 & 2 of _The Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus: All the Words_ at the moment. And there is at least one time in a concert vid that the “it’s a fair cop but society’s to blame” bit was followed by “and don’t talk to the audience.” Oh yes. And: We are no longer the Knights who say ‘Ni.’ We are now the Knights who saaayyyyy: ‘ecki-ecki-ecki-ecki-p’tannggg! zoop-boing zowie zing.’ ‘\’ ‘SHH!’ ---

Mr. Rilch and I have the Criterion version of Life of Brian, with audio commentary from all five surviving Pythons, and a bunch of other features. The Criterion Holy Grail is supposed to be equally sumptuous, but it’s not out yet. What you have may be all right, but I’m holding out for Criterion, and would recommend others do the same. No offense, Ankh. ---

My wife and I were out with some friends last night. We found ourselves needing to kill time over in Berkely before our movie started so we retired to “The Albatross Pub”. From the first sighting of the sign, until about 15 minutes after we left, I would periodically shout “Albatross!” ala John Cleese. If any one would question me about it, I’d just say, “Of course you don’t get wafers with it, ya cocksucker!” I’m sure that happens on a nightly basis at that place, but I couldn’t resist. ---
