You are the luckiest person on the planet ever.
Wow ā you all have very interesting stories to tell! Keep them coming, if you wish.
(saw your profile) Hoo-ray! Another Python
fan 
From America, too. Always nice to hear of fans of them from other countries.
Iām lucky, and also
quite nervous. My fellow performers have planned to set up a little performance of that 'Weāre Knights of the
Round Tableā bit in the Holy Grail film for him. 
It looks so unbelievably silly.
Canāt beat Monty Python. Not even if youāre armed with a
banana.
Itās Python. Thatās the whole point.
And
I feel that it is here my public duty to say that this shall mark the end of any and all off-topic Python
discussion in this thread. That can be done elsewhere if we so choose.
Quite right.
Oh, this is one of those boards then? Iāve been to several
chat boards where they go ballistic over OT conversations. But I can understand why. Ah well. Will talk more when
Iāve actually met the amazing Jonesy.
Weāre so much Nazi about
going off-topic (after all this is the off-topic forum ) but we do keep the individual threads on topic. But
itās no big deal - as you can see itās fairly easy to split them into their own topic of relavence. =)
POINTED STICK!!
Sorry
about thatā¦ moment of utter insanity
Pythonās awesome! My favorite Pythons are Graham Chapman, Michael Palin and my top fav, Eric Idle. I actually
wrote to Eric and Michael and got replies from them! Autographed photos 
in my class
there is this kid who likes the montey python movies and he always repeats the line :
" The treasure
is hidden in the castle of ahhhh . "
me , iāve never seen a montey python movie , and wouldnāt be
surprised if iām spelling his name wrong .
Or a dead parrot. Or the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Or a herring. I could
continueā¦
GLP: Youāve never seen a Monty Python movie?
Ever? sound of jaw hitting floor
Leave. Now.
Nah, Iām just
kidding with you. To each his or her ownā¦
Me, I love Python. Holy Grail is one of my favorite
movies ever. Iām still endlessly jealous that DELf got to go to see Spamalot with the original castā¦ half of
them have left now, and so there go my chances to see Tim Curry as Arthur - one of the great things about the
original cast, if I may say so. Oh well, Iāll see it one day. Maybe itāll come to San Francisco on tour one
summer.
TEMT: that Terry Jones thing must have been a few weeks ago, right?
How did it go?
I love Monty Python. I think I have collected all their songs.
I
love Holy Grail but Life of Brian is just a little bit better.
NISUS:
Next.
Crucifixion?
PRISONER #2:
Yes.
NISUS:
Good. Out of the door. Line on the left. One cross
each. Next. Crucifixion?
MR. CHEEKY:
Ah, no. Freedom.
JAILER:
Hmm?
NISUS:
What?
MR. CHEEKY:
Eh, freedom for me. They said I hadnāt done anything, so I could go free and live on
an island somewhere.
NISUS:
Oh. Oh, well, thatās jolly good. Well, off you go, then.
MR.
CHEEKY:
Naa, Iām only pulling your leg. Itās crucifixion, really.
NISUS:
Oh, ho ho.
MR.
CHEEKY:
Heh heh heh hehh.
NISUS:
I see. Uh, very good. Very good. Well, out of the door.
Oneā
MR. CHEEKY:
Yeah. I know the way. Out of the door.
NISUS:
Line onā
MR. CHEEKY:
One cross each. Line on the left.
Iāve actually heard that Curry had been performing less and less, and
claimed he was too old to be doing this anymore. Shame, really. I do love him. But performing is quite tiresome.
I canāt blame him. But I still wish I couldāve seen him ^^ I myself havenāt seen Spamalot.
He came to
our theatre last Monday- didnāt stay very long though =P He claimed he was tired though he seemed quite hyper if
you ask me ā¦ a bit off the walls. He snuck in and scared the be-jeezus out of my best mate! xD We were talking
in the lobby before the theatre opened and he came up behind my friend James and poked him on the shoulder and
asked him where the bathroom was. James jumped outta his skin and screamed, āOh my God itās you!!ā
He scared poor Terry.
Yeah, and so we did (rather, the guys did) the whole skit with the Knights
of the Round Table afterwards on stage. Terry was delighted And I got to speak to him for a bit- just about
how much I loved his films, blah blah blah ā¦ he was very thrilled that I loved them anyways, though heās
probably heard THAT a billion times the world over. Leave it to me to say very witty things ā¦ =P
Aaand
then he gave us a whole big speech about acting and how timing is everything and all that nonsense I never quite
paid attention to in school ^^ But the fact Terry was ālecturingā us made me pay attention. ^^
And we took a
whole group photo pic, and got his autograph and stuff. Iād post the photo but Iām one of those nuts who are
worried for online stalkers and what not. Yes Iām paranoid. =P
[i]Monty Python and the Holy
Grail[/i] has got to be the funniest film in the history of hilarious films. 
My favorite part:
āBehind the rabbit?ā
"He
is the rabbit."
"Whaāthat? Whatās he gonna do: bite your
bum?"
If it makes you feel any better, KE, the evening that I saw the show both Tim
Curry and Sara Ramirez had their standbys filling in for themā¦ I didnāt know who anybody actually was
until several months after seeing the show, though, so I myself didnāt really care.
I absolutely love
Pythonās music. āAlways Look On The Bright Side Of Lifeā is literally my theme song in regards to my
life philosopy. I think Iād memorized that one before I actually even saw Life of Brian, tooā¦ Although
even so, my absolute favorite Python song is probably either āThe Galaxy Songā or "The
Philosophersā Drinking Song."
(After mentioning āBright Side of Lifeā and
āPhilosophersā Drinking Song,ā I feel itās probably about time somebody let it be known, for the sake
of those who have not yet seen any Python material, that they most assuredly do have some language and some adult
themes, so those of you who are on the younger side, be wary. )
I only saw Holy Grail. I thought it was okay. Not my type of movie. I just didnāt get
it. But I did laugh at some of the parts in that movie.
Which is why it took
me forever to convince my dad that I could handle the material. He finally gave in, and it turned out that
Holy Grail was no where near as crude as I thought it would be.
The Star Swordsman - Heh ā my mom is the same way. She hates those types of
films ā canāt stand the humor. (snigger)
DELf : well , it looks like I wonāt be seeing a monty python movie any time soon , I was surprised my stepdad
didnāt take my sister and me out of the theater when we saw Talladega Nights .
So it looks like no monty
python movies for me until iām 20 .
lol
Life of Brian and [i]Meaning of
Life[/i], on the other handā¦ Mm-hm. And a few Flying Circus episodes, too, for that
matter.
DElf - Yeah, mom said that Life of Brian
wasā¦āhigly offensiveā. I guess Iāll have to wait a few yearsā¦ Heh.
I saw the end of one
Flying Circus episode ā I was laughing my head off.
I think my favorite part of Holy Grail was the āSir Robin Songā. So hilarious. It is sometimes how I
feel about some people.
