I think that all right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary decent people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired.....

hear, hear

And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.....

I haven’t posted on this thread yet, because I’m trying not to be seen.

Ok but isn’t Graham Chapman pining for the fjords?

I dropped a word forgetting to add the word fan. Should read “...big Monty Python fan.” Sorry all.

[equaviator]

Ah yes...Jolly good.

But suppose I’m attacked by a man with a banana and I haven’t got a gun?

That sounds like the skit where they are on the picnic in their turn-of-the-century dapper clothing, and then it becomes a Sam Peckinpah-type scene of mayhem.

I think the girl in the pic was also “Polly” in Fawlty Towers, and I think she was married to John Cleese at one time.

You want to complain, you should see these shoes!

What about pointed sticks?

Shut up you bloody vikings!

“Pretty strong meat there from *sniff* Sam Peckinpah.”

I really liked the International Philosophers Soccer Match between the traditional Greek philosophers and the German existential philosophers.

"Drop your panties, Sir William; I cannot wait until lunchtime!"

[Billthedrill]

Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves
against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh
fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I’ll tell you something my lad.
When you’re walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes
after you with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come crying to me!

[Political Junkie Too]

I also liked the Hide and Seek Olympics. It was silly in the same vein.

The skit on camouflage, "How not to be Seen" (Click for Youtube) is one of my favorites - good advice too!

I used that skit (that very YouTube link, in fact) to get my 15-year-old niece hopelessly hooked on Monty Python stuff. She was already a big fan of Fawlty Towers, so this was just a natural progression.
