Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: quokka Date: 13 Oct 09 - 10:03 AM Last week at work a woman walked in looking EXACTLY like Brian's Mum. I got a fit of the giggles and eventually spluttered out "Like a rat out of an aqueduct" everyone got it straight away - Python is truly a universal language ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: Desert Dancer Date: 14 Nov 04 - 02:27 PM Actually, to be precise, Monty Python's SPAMalot (and that was Monty Python and the Holy..., rather than Month Python, of course). ~ B in T whose son recently ran around the neighborhood in a white robe saying "I'm a blancmange!" (to the mystification of many of our neighbors) |

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: Liz the Squeak Date: 13 Nov 04 - 04:45 AM TAnny - the lady in the lake bit is from the film 'MP and the Holy Grail'... from which comes 'Camelot', possibly one of the best Python songs. The DVD has the song done in Lego models.... ah..... bliss! Oh, and my favourite at this time of the year.... The Larch. (the only deciduous conifer, turns the most delightful golden colour, easily spotted) Limpit was first introduced to the world in a hospital ward called 'Larch'.... no-one understood why I was giggling so much.

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: Tannywheeler Date: 12 Nov 04 - 05:43 PM WOW!!!!! As I sit here wishing I had the quick mind to contribute Ima Gittin's mobile comment is drifting by above me. Effin' MAGIC, man! I obviously missed some serious education, with my spotty Python viewing. Is there a Remedial Python program somewhere? I gotta see the one about the Lady of the Lake, among others. But not Dead Parrot. That one makes me wet my pants. moonglow, it stands to reason you'd have friends with like interests. Python/Lehrer: 2 major food groups of the mind, imho. Tw |

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: *Laura* Date: 11 Nov 04 - 04:54 PM Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! [though possibly better than an american election - my bracket] I mean - You can't go round being king just cos some watery tart threw a sword at you! Listen! Supreme exectutive power comes from a mandate from the masses! Not from some farcical equatic ceremony! I mean - if I went round saying I was an emperor just cos some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!!! - classic. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: GUEST Date: 11 Nov 04 - 02:13 PM Thanks HuwG - perhaps I beat Punt and Dennis to it with the Spanish Acquisition! "I thank you" - wasn't that the late British comedian Arthur Askey, many years before Monty Python was even heard of? |

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: HuwG Date: 11 Nov 04 - 12:05 AM Dear Guest, I believe that the "Spanish Acquisistion" line came in the last episode of the Punt and Dennis series before the currect series of the "News Quiz" (which itself has just finished). If I am right, it was therefore broadcast on October 7th. (Friday) I may be out by a week or so, but I doubt whether it was broadcast before October 1st. I shall now break one of my earlier rules ... "I never wanted to do this job anyway. I always wanted to be ... a Lumberjack !" |

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: GUEST Date: 10 Nov 04 - 07:51 PM Does Yorkshire Yankee or anyone else know the date of the joke by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis about the Spanish Acquisition (ie of the Abbey National Building Society by the Bank of Santander)? I am interested because I thought of the exact same joke on 26th July 2004 after seeing a TV program that evening about the takeover; I mentioned this joke in a private E-mail on 27th July and another one to a different person on 2nd September 2004 (in the latter I said "Remember you heard it here first"). Honestly folks, this isn't a boast about what a great originator of jokes I am (HE SAID MODESTLY!), but am genuinely curious as to how quickly different people think of something like this and how quickly it circulates. I remember thinking at the time that it would probably be a very short time before a headline like "Nobody expects the Spanish Acquisition" appeared in a newspaper. I did an Internet search for "Spanish Acquisition at that time" and though I got some "hits" I didn't get in the above form. If you are aware of one of Monty Pythons most famous sketches then this is a very obvious pun. Strangely, no individual "Monty Python" quote seems to be all that common, although "Don't mention the war" by ex Python John Cleese in the Fawlty Towers Episode about the Germans is certainly heard quite often. I also like Basil Fawlty's phrase "I'm so sorry, he's from Barcelona" and (Basil Fawlty to Manuel) "(Do?)You have rats in Spain, or did Franco have them all shot?" One of my own genuine Python favourites is "The Polar Bear's escaped", delivered in a high pitch voice, though I haven't actually heard anyone else use it. There was also a Pythonesque interview featuring the late Graham Chapman as a Government Minister": Interviewer (possibly Eric Idle or Michael Palin): "Minister, in your manisfesto, you promised to build over 10 million houses(or some preposterous figure) in the Greater London area alone; you have in fact built only three. How do you answer this?" Minister: "I'd like to answer this question, if I may, in 2 ways. First of all in my normal voice, and secondly, using a kind of silly high-pitched squeak". John Cleese's father was originally called John Cheese, but changed it to Cleese in the Army in 1915 to avoid being teased (I would have thought being teased in the Army in 1915 was the least of your worries as this was in the middle of World War One. Pity though he changed it, this would have made his son John a "big Cheese" (geddit?) Cleese himself regrets the name change and thinks it would be good to be called Jack Cheese (his wife calls him Jack). He has also traced the surname Cheese to Norwich in 1273, though Cleese himself came from Weston Super Mare in Somerset at the other end of England. HERE ENDETH THE HISTORY LESSON |

Subject: RE: BS: Monty python quotes From: moonglow Date: 10 Nov 04 - 07:46 PM there's one I get many opportunities to say-: "oh, you're no fun anymore" I also have a few of the quotes with actual sound links to them set as sounds on my computer. For example, when I log in, it says "this is an ex-parrot!". When a warning comes up (something finishes downloading), it either says "oh bloody hell," or "(twang) message for you, sir." Finally, when I log off, it says "how shall we fuck off, O Lord?" Surprisingly, many of my friends are Python/ Tom Lehrer fans. |
