Even the cartoon scene where they get eaten. And there was much rejoicing (yaaaay.)
My boyfriend and I recently attended a weekend-long house party with a Holy Grail theme. We bought a couple of cheap plastic flutes, transcribed and learned the “Bravely Bold Sir Robin” song, and went as minstrels. We were a big hit.
(The complete account of that party would require an entire thread of its own, and some of the most amusing details I am hesitant to reveal on a public board for fear of implicating other parties without their consent.)
Brave Sir Robin ran away
Sir Robin ran away, away
When Danger reared its ugly head
Sir Robin bravely turned and fled
Has anyone played the Holy Grail computer game? I love that stupid thing. One of the best parts is the “bring out yer dead” scene:
[spoiler]The crier says other random crap if you wait long enough, but in the same cadence. Eventually he says, “Go eat at Fred’s,” and then, “aughtdogs, git yer aughtdogs.”
Later, if you get killed by the rabbit, it asks you if you want to start over at the same place. Select yes, and it’s starts over at the same place. In other words, you die the exact same bloody, gruesome death as last time. Next it asks you if you want to start over at a bit before the same place.[/spoiler]
A co-worker was telling me how a friend of hers was over and they were watching television. Well, this odd movie began with weird opening credits about moose (MP&THG of course) began. By the middle of the “Moose Opening Credits” this guy was howling with laughter.
She “just didn’t get it” :rolleyes:
I attempted to explain the appeal of MP. :smack:
If they “Just don’t get it” w/o an explanation , one is NOT going to help
Well, she went home and told him about how I figured out the name of the movie with just the description of the opening credits, that I loved MP, and I had attempted to enlighten her to the “Wild Wonderful World of MPFC” to this friend. He then tracked me down and asked me out on a date.
It turns out that she was 45+yrs old and he was 22yrs old and they were having a affair. :dubious: That relationship continued thruout our relationship. :mad:
My parents figured out this guy (let’s call him GUY) was not aboveboard with me and finagled a way to break us up. IT worked great. But it took 3wks and a lot of shady dealings by my Mom.
And then GUY didn’t have the nerve to break up with me in person–he left a letter taped on my front door. :wally
Then two months later he came and began work at the same store 45yo CW & I worked. :eek: THAT was tres uncomfortable.
But then I left that job about five months later-thank goodness.
Sorry about the slight hijack, but it felt good to share.
This reminds me of a commercial that BBCAmerica ran a few months ago. It showed part of a skit from Monthy Python’s Flying Circus (Episode 2: Sex and Violence - the French Lecture on Sheep Aircraft). Just the bit with Michael Palin and John Cleese (IIRC) strutting around flapping their arms while speaking “French”. And then the caption “If your girlfriend laughs at this, marry her”.
**Rhiannon8404 ** likes MP as much as I do, but she just doesn’t see the appeal of the Three Stooges. I really do think it’s a guy thing.
That was a “gift for self” purchase.
Also the boxed set of ALL the TV episodes.
I have both volumes of "All the Words"books, the complete CD boxed set of their songs. and a book of their songs with the score so I can accompany myself on the keyboard (when I re-learn to play the piano).
Does anyone know if MEANING OF LIFE has come out yet in DVD?
