mowgai python's flying circusminorannoyanceAugust 9 2003, 02:22:23 UTC
and come on people, you can get the whole run of the show for $150 bucks...
ok, yeah, i can't. i'm broke. but i had it once, and shy of the fourth (john cleese-less) season, it's all great stuff.
CONFUSE A CAT!
my favorite mogwai album is Come on Die Young, which everyone around here calls Cody (you'll understand when you see the cd) their new album is great, although leaning more in the direction of godspeed you black emperor (another band you should hear if you haven't)
hmmmm, i need to buy that boxed set again, or having this year's python-a-thon is going to be difficult (had to sell the tapes too... rrrrr..)
Re: mowgai python's flying circusmadlydeeplyAugust 9 2003, 02:55:19 UTC
oh yeah, the 4th season is totally irrelevant to me, save for the Mr. Neutron skit. I am a John Cleese worshipper from, well, from forever. I met him back in April! YIPPEEE! Had a whole 3-minute conversation and that. Next time I will tide him over for perhaps 5-6 minutes (he's a honorary Prof. at my school).
Confuse-A-Cat, Ltd. is a genius of a skit. WAIT FOR IT!
Yeah, I have no money either. All my Python skits are off of PBS marathons. I am saving up for the $150 boxed set DVD. Perhaps my new job as Bicycle Repair Man will help me there....
Re: mowgai python's flying circusminorannoyanceAugust 9 2003, 03:42:58 UTC
the set is worth every penny, for the record. buuuuuuuut i really needed to pay rent and hadn't located a job at the time, and $150 is more than i've been able to drop on something as frivolous as a dvd in ages.
curses of envy to you and your meeting john cleese-ed-ness.
perhaps you could win some money as a runner up in the upper class twit of the year awards (just don't win, that would be bad! wink wink nudge nudge say no more)
Re: mowgai python's flying circusmadlydeeplyAugust 9 2003, 04:27:41 UTC
awwwww man, yeah the set is in my sights! Of course you are jealous of my Joh Cleesedness! I can scarcely believe it myself. I stared down (he was in a chair, otherwise my 5'2 would scarcely measure against his 6'5) at those lovely grey-green eyes and distinctive chin, and just thought "Holy SHIT, am I HERE????" I'm a goober. He made me melt, be he 63 years old or whatever. Who cares? He's my personal Jesus.
Oh yes, and being upper class twit of the year would be lovely. As long as I can be Vivian Smith-Smythe-Smith. My wife is a persian rug and my father uses me for a wastepaper basket....
The signs are posted by people who want to make themselves feel better. They're a way for people to fool themselves into believing that they're actually doing something important. Just like the people who carry signs and protest... but don't fucking vote.
yeah you're right. I know why they do it. BUT WHY DO THEY DO IT?!?!?!??!?!?! Sorry Pitiful Lame Self-Righteous Egotistic Assholes Yeah, that's my 10 cents' worth. I'll do something important by sucking a tailpipe. If only they would follow my example.....
what else can they do? they don't have any control over anything that's going on but they feel threatened by it. so they put up a sign. granted it should read "I support our troops" and not "you support our troops" but you're still probably letting them raise your blood pressure a couple notches for no good reason.
I'm not entirely sure that's why they do it. I think it's because they have (1) an opinion and (2) the deeply-bred American arrogance to believe that it should be broadcast in the form of a sign. I prefer independent thought and written or verbal expression that cannot be condensed into a cheap slogan. I get angry, but that's my response. That's just me and my active ranting gene. But you're right that we have so little control over what goes on around us. Our system allows us the illusion of control without really offering any.
did you ever see the tribute to monty python hosted by steve martin? sheer genious. i saw it on tv when it was released, and have been searching for a copy ever since.
Oh man! I know which one you are talking about! Probably cause I am totally in love with and have sex dreams about Steve Martin. :p (I am a weirdo.) That program is called "Parrot Sketch Not Included: 20 Years of Python" and you can get it on the DVD collection called "Monty Python Live." It's relatively cheap since it comes with their show at the Hollywood Bowl which is BRILLIANT and you can get it on Amazon. ;) I'm a complete Monty Python addict. I suspect I am in the league of the Comic Book Store guy from the simpsons. Best....show....ever.....
Holy fuckin' shit, Dan! You own all the M.P. DVD's? I am in awe. i am inspired, etc etc. Well dammit, I ALMOST have everything. But most of it is bootlegged. Have you seen the man with 3 buttocks? The Encyclopedia Salesman? The Atilla the Hun Show? Bicyle Repairman? Dennis Moore? etc etc etc? Well if so, that is so fucking lovely I think i will die now. Cause hardly ANYONE has seen the show to it's sublime completion. Monty Python is the end-all and be-all of my comedic existence. It's a hard call, but beween music and comedy, I think comedy wins all. I will sink into humorous oblivous now.......
I've seen all of these you mention, and know them well. I have not seen the German Episodes that are part of the Life Of Python DVD. My copy is still on VHS (haven't upgraded that one yet).
Oh i know you're not Dan (you're Mark!) but it was a silly George Carlin reference. :) I'm so happy you know all the episodes......and the German ones aren't THAT great. Get the Hollywood Bowl live show, it has the best bits. Like the German philosophers v. the Greek philosophers playing soccer. It only comes to a climax when John Cleese's Euripedes (?) says EUREKA!!! and makes a goal. And then there is Cleese playing the role of Little Red Riding Hood. that is precious. :) The whole Hollywood Bowl concert is just brilliant. I loves it! To the point of memorizing whole skits. I am SUCH a dork!
ooh playing with sticks is fun! I wanna live in a forest in a hollowed out tree, and have nothing but furry woodland creatures for friends. I bet they don't post signs. "Support Our Herd!" "Support Our Swarm!" "Support Our Nest!" none of that.
