Some of my alternative candidates were:  
Dennis Moore  
The Larch  
Crunchy Frog  
Eric (nearly chose it out of thousands)  
Burma! (I panicked)

Roy Spire

Roy: There’s nothing more dangerous than a wounded mosquito.

Voice Over: But the hunt is not over. With well practised skill Hank skins the mosquito. The wings of a fully grown male mosquito can in fact fetch anything up to point eight of a penny on the open market. The long day is over and it’s back to base camp for a night’s rest. Here, surrounded by their trophies Roy and Hank prepare for a much tougher ordeal - a moth hunt.

I always have wished some chick would come along with the strength to carry off the username “MissJaneHathaway.”

I’d then have to be “Mr. Drysdale.”

From the OP and responses, I’d have to say “Monty Python’s Flying Circus.”

You’re supposed to choose a UserName that originated on the show.

Mine would be…uh… **Notlob.** Or **A Qualified Brain Surgeon.** Or **An Agent of the British Dental Association.**

What was that full-length episode where Graham Chapman was “the most powerful man in the world” and wearing a bodysuit with pillows under it to look muscular? He was **Mister Plutonium** or something. If I could remember properly, I’d pick that one.

I saw “The Meaning of Life” once. When I was about 11. Have seen no other MPFC.

I feel so left out.

This question would be rather easy if I knew any MPFC names. Anyone care to make a big ol’ list of 'em? Tasha? Jess?

**Mister Neutron**. Technically since I said it first I could lay claim to it, but I think I’ll be nice and go with something else… hmm, what would it be?

Oh yeah.

**Dinsdale Piranha**.

I’ll get back to you on that one. Jessica’s out of town at the moment, so I shall think on my own with this. Give me a day or two, and I’ll think about it. Maybe.

Thnak you, **Olent.** That was driving me NUTS.

**Mister Neutron** is still up for grabs. I’m likin’ **A Qualified Brain Surgeon** more and more.

Or **Venezuelan Beaver Cheese.**

No, on second thought, someone else can have **Venezuelan Beaver Cheese,** too.

Since **The Naughty Vicar** is still available, I’ll take that.

I could also adopt “Shut your festering gob, you tit!” as my sig in the Pit.

Albatross  
SaintLooneyUpTheCreamBunAndJam is probably too long  
ScottoftheAntarctic  
PenguinontheTelly

“Now I’ve run circles around you logically” - may have to add that as a sig line.

It’s “lupine.”

Jesus, people, I was feeling guilty for picking what I thought were such OBVIOUS sketches as “Cheese Shop” and “Mister Neutron,” but damn! “Minister of Silly Walks” ? “Lumberjack” ? Fucking “Dead Parrot” ???

Are we Monty Python fans, or just people who’ve seen the promos on PBS?

C’mon! Let’s get OBSCURE!!!

– **Storage Jar,** aka **Two-Sheds**

Oh, you want obscure, eh? All right, let me drive up to NH and get my two-volume set of **All The Words**. Then we’ll get Pythonic on yer ass.
