oh - gosh - I forgot the Killer Rabbit!!! How could I forget the Killer Rabbit?? It would hide in closets, etc. and get unsuspecting people.

Seriously - we had the darn thing - a stuffed rabbit with a huge mouth full of teeth.

And Eric, ah yes, the ex had a rescued opossum he named Eric.

Oh - and Emm, no thanks on the trade - mine is one year closer to getting away from ME!!! :D

There was no need to start a new thread... I Started a Mon.Py. Poll months ago :) Even though some people were mad about all the titles I left out... If I had added all the TITLES, it would have made one HUGE poll...

Okay, next quiz:

How many chief weapons did the Spanish Inquisition have, and what were they?

Their chief weapon is surprise and fear, fear and surprise....
No, their TWO chief weapons are fear, surprise...a ruthless efficiency...
Their THREE weapons are fear, surprise, a ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.

But really, among their weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms.

Not to mention soft cushions and.... THE COMFY CHAIR!!!
Today is the Tomorrow you worried about Yesterday....Was it worth it?

The grail, with it shrubbery, with the knight guarding passage, the killer rabbit, and coconuts.

My other favorite scene is Cleese suspended from the window in "A Fish Called Wanda" apologizing profusely.
Clease as Archie Leach: "All right, all right, I apologize. I'm really, really sorry. I apologize unreservedly. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact and was in no way fair comment and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future."
Enjoy Your Music,

It's hard to choose! From the Grail:

"Sir Robin ran away! Brave, brave brave Sir Robin!
When danger reared it's ugly head
he braverly turned his tail and fled
he took off on his feet
and beat a brave retreat
Brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!"

And Life of Brian, after his mom tells him his father was a Roman ("I'm Kosher, Mom! I'm a Yid! a Hook-Nose!"), Or Pontius Pilate's speech impediment, and Biggus Dickus... So much great stuff!

"Blessed are the cheesemakers!"
"Follow the gourd! The holy gourd of Jerusalem!"
"He hurt my feet" "He hurt our feet too!"
"Only the true Messiah denies he's the true Messiah!"
"Behold his mother!"
"Nobody stones nobody until i blow this whistle! Not even if someone says Jehovah!"

Gosh, i guess it has to be Life of Brian. Grail is very funny in a discombobulated way, but Brian has a real plot. It shows how great Graham Chapman really was.

I love it when Kevin Cline says something like "you concentrate all your violence and let it explode... it's called Buddhism!" I wish i had the actual words.

i saw Chapman during his solo tour in the early 80's -- he was mostly just talking about his life, telling stories. he mentioned that during "Holy Grail" he was drinking a quart of vodka a day. despite the great comedy in the film it seems that it was a miserable experience for the cast & crew... i saw Cleese on a tv program recently in which he alluded to this, as well.

My all time favourite Monty moment is in The Life....
Brian has been caught,buck bollock naked,with a woman.
Terry Jones,(his mother),looks at him for a few moments.Not one word comes from her lips,just this look of absolute amazement and shock.
As Terry's mouth comes down slowly and Brian and the woman try to get it together and cover themselves up,the tears roll down my face. If ever a picture told a thousand stories, this moment is it.

Slan,
D.
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Your mothers were all hamsters, and fathers have smelt of eldeberrys!!!! My three weapons when I have my tinwhistle are: screeching high notes, a desire to play all hours into the night, a vicious enjoyment out of inflicting my practice on others, and talking endlessly about my playing...I have four, four weapons when playing my tinw whistle! :twisted:
