Ok, I couldn’t find: The dialog from the Monty Python movie Jabberwocky. Where to obtain a _working_ reproduction of a pre-kerosene era Argand oil lamp. ---

What’s so wrong with us that we get Nestle’s relatively crappy chocolate, and Canada gets the good stuff? And don’t give me that crap about the American Protestant philosophy that sensual pleasure is inherently evil; I know lots of Americans who, like me, agree that they would buy Aerobars by the cart if only they were available here. So what gives?[/hijack, soon to become a Pit post. I can feel it happening already.] \*\* You CAN buy Aero bars in the United States. Do you have a Neuhaus Chocolate candy store anywhere near your home? The Neuhaus Chocolate store in my city (Dallas) carries three varieties - original (plain milk), mint, and orange. You can also find them on eBay. I recently ordered two cases of Aero bars from a dealer that I found on Bay. This dealer even carries the dark chocolate version of Aero Bars! If you want me to, I can post the URL of his Web site. ---

Couldn’t find a script, couldn’t find a site with quotes from the movie, [http://www.montypython.net](http://www.montypython.net) didn’t even have anything available (but they do have clips from “Nuns on the Run,” which has a far more tenuous link to MP than Jabberwocky.) The DVD version didn’t mention a script, but commentary by both Palin and Gilliam. Best I could find were copies of the book/screenplay for sale through [http://www.abebooks.com](http://www.abebooks.com) (search for “Gilliam” author and “Jabberwocky” for title.) Generally, books like these have the screenplay included, but I can’t guarantee that. ---
