I love that. The lad will go far. Maybe not in a direction you might want, but he'll go far. :wink:
Precisely what I was about to say... LOL! Best to keep an eye, or three, on *that* one, LOL!

..and who could forget:
Immanual Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable;
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel;
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates himself was permanently pissed...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill;
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram;
And Rene Descartes was a drunken f*rt
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed...
A lovely little thinker --
But a bugger when he's pissed!

...that there is no cannibalism in the Royal Navy; absolutely none. And, when I say 'none' I mean there's a certain amount; more than we're prepared to admit.

Hmmm...my favorite Monty Python...hard to choose between so much great stuff, but probably The Quest for the Holy Grail. I love John Cleese and the other knights in there. I f*rt in your general direction! Who can beat that :D Has anyone seen John Clesse's video "How to irritate people?"

Even Veggie Tales the movie was influenced by Monty Python & the Holy Grail, as in, the chief crime of the Ninevites being that they slapped everyone with fish.

True story... some people I knew, when I was a teenager in the Philippines (okay... not knew... I still know them), fired a worker because when they sent her to the market to buy fish, they had instructed her to buy blue lapu-lapu, but the fishmonger tried to insist on selling her red lapu-lapu. She shouted, "I said I wanted blue lapu-lapu," and picked up the red fish and smacked the merchant with it.
