If you want to understand this thread: 1. Turn 11. Watch the Holy Grail. Repeatedly, and without mercy. 2. Turn 12. Start watching the Flying Circus repeats on BBC America. Record them. Rent the ones you don’t see from the video store. 3. Turn 13. Buy Monty Python’s Flying Circus “All the Words” Volume 1 and 2. Watch all of the Flying Circus episodes again. 4. Turn 14. Buy the Monthy Python record box set. 5. Turn 15. Watch the Life of Brian and the Meaning of Life. Repeatedly and without mercy. 6. There is no rule #6. 7. No poofters. ---

“Crucifixion?” “Ah, no. Freedom. They said I hadn’t done anything, so I could go free and go live on an island somehwere.” “Oh! Jolly good! Well, off you go then!” “No, I was only just pulling your leg. It’s crucifixion really.” “Ha ha. Right… Out the door, line on the left, one cross each.” I have the entire movie memorized. ---
