thanks for the "warnings" about my son, guys. I already know the child is weird!
He also knows all the words to the "Lumberjack" song - and I often find a very, very weird screen saver with fish on his computer (he has the Python "total waste of time" program).

Of course, this is also the child at about age 8 that participated in the talent show at his Catholic grade school - played "Whiskey 'Fore Breakfast" on the......

.....nose flute. Told them it was a "traditional Appalachian instrument".

He's driving me nuts right now because he is going to be "Louis" in the "King and I". If I hear "Whistle a Happy Tune" one more time I'm going to SCREAM!!!!

Anyone want a 13 year old, highly gifted, ADD, strange kid????

My 3-year-old occasionally practices her silly walk. That may be my favorite sketch, and, as I have the complete DVD set, the little one has seen it many times and still laughs her butt off, along with papa.

Some other faves: The sketch in the police station where everyone has to speak in different voices. The two peaks of Kiliminjaro. The twit race (I did get the reference, rh). the Gumby Theatre production of The Cherry Orchard.

Favorite scene from a movie is in Life of Brian, when they're freeing a prisoner and Pilate and Biggus Dickus have the crowd in stitches. "Wodewick? We have no Wodewick."

A close second is the killer rabbit in Holy Grail.

May not be strictly considered Monty Python, but

"Yellowbeard" is one of my favorite movies, period.

Between Yellowbeard, Mr. Moon, Mrs. Beard, Blind Pew, Lord Lambourn.......
there are just too many good lines to even begin to list just one.

Trade you for a 12 year old, ADD, strange kid, whose "gifts" have not emerged yet in any recognizable form.

Years ago I used to have their 33lp record (remember those?) entitled 'Monty Python's Previous Record'. A gas from start to finish. Favorite skits:

I've come to arrange a holiday
The argument
Tonight...Dinosaurs.

Favorite songs:

Eric the half a bee
The universe song
Every sperm is sacred
