The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

Yeah, we need internet... Besides, it looks too much like my family's house, except with a porch.

And I expect anywhere is going to be smokeless indoors. I do want to say, I appreciate the courtesy the smokers here in the Hole show to the rest of us.

Didja do all that from memory?

Yeah... I tried to look up the meanings for "Isildur" and "Anarion", but the rest of what I posted was from memory.

Well, it's that time again.

I'm off to get enough sleep to get me to the weekend.

Nighty night everyone!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

G'night! Will be headed for bed soon here too, I think.

[JenB]

Niiice...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

You should hear me recite comic book history some time...

[JenB]

Heh... geek is grand... I used to be able to recite the plot of almost every Original or Next Generation Star Trek episodes, along with the Tolkien stuff. And Harry Potter.

Stuff at work today kept reminding me of different Monty Python sketches.

By the way, I'm currently having to work with some screaming moonbat liberals. It's very disturbing.

[JenB]

Heh, the only folks I work with are screaming moonbat liberals. To get to the grad student area where my friends sit, I have to walk down a hall lined with doors promoting idiocy... my favorite is the chick whose centerpiece is a graphic comparing the president to a monkey. It's my favorite because we widely regard her as less intelligent and computer literate than the desk bimbos.

Anyway, this is the place to vent, if you feel like venting. I hope work wasn't the Spanish Inquisition sketch. Those were always just a bit too silly.

I forget what the morning one was... for the afternoon one, someone mentioned the words "six-foot-five", and I couldn't help but hear John Cleese declare "I'll do what I like, because I'm six foot five and I eat punks like you for breakfast!" From the 'Archaeology Today' Sketch.

[JenB]

Um... ok, have not seen that one...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Um... ok, have not seen that one...

Hah! Out-geeked you!

[JenB]

I have a Monty Python disability that I am remedying as I come across tapes. It's hard, though! I finally saw the "spam" sketch a few months back. But I've seen the dead parrot and the Spanish Inquisition and the Silly Walks. And my personal favorite, the Marcel Proust Condensation Contest.

2J, sorry I didn't get here earlier. And I figure by now Steve will have looked at it.

I can't remember if you said your parents used the icemaker. It's possible though, if they did that there was still water in the line somewhere and that's what leaked out.

Hope you can get it fixed.

Does the local rental place carry the DVDs?

Wow, time for me to feel old again... I first saw Monty Python on a local PBS station, back in the mid 70's...

[JenB]

A few of the Flying Circus. I think for a grand total of three. Oh, and Brian and Holy Grail, natch.

My introduction to Monty Python was my mother trying to explain why she and Dad had this silly song about Spam.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Say... does that mean you haven't seen the Cannibalism Sketch?

[JenB]

I don't think so.

[Ramius]

My favorite remains: The Australian University sketch.

Mind if we call you Bruce?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, you'd know it if you saw it... how about Crunchy Frog?
