Do you get wafers with it, James?!?!?

I also love this one, whenever I hear people talking about how kids these days don't appreciate how lucky they are, and start going on about how tough they had it when they were young

(of course, I do that too, telling them we didn't have none of that fancy wireless wifi, we used to have to connect our computers with WIRES, oh, it was rough..)

Ah, the kids of today.....I used to *dream* of livin' in a shoebox - Luxury!

We are also very fond of Mr Creosote in this house. My kids will quite happily go seconds of anything in the dessert line - but only ever a "wafer-thin slice"...

Both my hubby and I were raised on Python, and can probably recite most of the scripts....so of course, we introduced it to our kids. My son, in particular has my quirky and rather black sense of humour. If I ever make salmon quiche, salmon patties etc (which he loves) he always moans "You didn't use the tinned salmon did you?!?"

They have come to realise why if we were ever discussing what to plant in a particular spot in the garden I would suggest "A shrubbery!!!" to which my hubby would always reply - "But not too expensive" and I would say "with a nice white picket fence..."

Actually, when you think about it, it's scary just how many Pythonisms have made it into the family vernacular... I guess it's a bit like the Masons and their secret handshakes!

Hey Kat,
Is this the right room for an argument?

This isn't an argument.

Yes it is!

This is just contradiction.

.....No it isn't!

I recited this one to my 8- and 10-year old boys only last week as something they had said reminded me of it. Ben chuckled, but Dominic positively howled. He loves a good joke

YES!!! And another generation is introduced to the mind twisting humour of Monty Python!

Better not tell them about Rabbits ...

"He's got huge, sharp... er..."
"He can leap about..."
"Look at the bones!"


Warm hugs,

I also liked the comedian (forget who it was) who said something like this:

"Kids these days, they don't appreciate nothing, when I was growing up, we didn't have no "Fantastik Spray Cleaner" like they have now, all we had was "Pretty Good Cleaner" and we loved it!!"

one of my favorites, too!

I gave my friend Linda in the UK, a picture of penguins that my mom took in her visit to Antartica, she actually keeps it on top of her TV, so now she really can say: "There's a penguin on the telly!"

Thank you. Always got a laugh out of that.

I have no memory for anything lately but do remember laughing wildly at the bit in which a self defense teacher (Cleese< I think) taught the class how to prtect themselves against attakcers weiling freshe fruit.

Wnet something like, " I'm not charging you with this banana because your just going to release the tiger and on and on like that. I have no idea why that particular bit cracked me up so much but that one did.

Thanks for the laugh

Anytime, my friend. It's been fun hearing about everyone's fave Python sketches, that's for sure!

Warm hugs,

love that story!
