It's Friday for most of you today and while it is my Tuesday ( the down side for managing a sports bar) I have my silly pants on. Monty pyton quotes are running through my head. What is your favorite movie quote? Mine is: "Bring me a shrubbery. Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two-level effect with a little path running down the middle." (Monty Python And The Holy Grail)

OMG! That made me laugh so hard that I snorted water and started choking. My boss asked me if I was okay.

"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise, fear and surprise; two chief weapons, fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency! Er, among our chief weapons are: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and near fanatical devotion to the Pope! Um, I'll come in again.........."

And from the Holy Grail

King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

Is it the holy grail where they are yelling "bring out your dead" "hey I'm not dead" that always makes me laugh. Actually the only time I have ever seen that movie was when my friends and I smoked pot and watched it. It was like watching a new movie every single time. I would die laughing and be convinced they were adding new parts in that I had never seen before. Of course those fun days are looooong gone!

She turned me into a newt. (everyone turns to stare at the man)

I'm feeling much better now.

Bedimere: there are ways of telling if she's a witch. What do you do with witches?

Villagers: Burn them!

Bedimere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?

Villagers: Wood?

Bedimere: Right! So why do witches burn?

Villagers: Because they're made of wood?

Bedimere: Right! . Now, what else do you do with wood?

Villagers: Build bridges with it!

Bedimere: But do we not also build bridges from stone; does wood float in water?

Villagers: Yes.

Bedimere: And what else floats in water?

King Arthur: (after more confused suggestions from the villagers) A duck!

Bedimere: Right! So, if she weighs the same as a duck, she'd float in water, and she must be made of wood, so.

Villagers: A witch! Burn her!

Customer: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

(pause)

Pet shop owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

DH had never seen any MP movies or the show. I convinced him to watch the Holy Grail. He sat through the whole thing, barely cracking a smile the entire time. At the end of the movie he completely freaked out.

"What the hell??? That was all fake??? What the Eff was that all that about??? What the hell were they doing?? I effing hate limey humor!!!!!"

He will not watch any other movies. He even got mad once when Family Guy made a reference to it on the cartoon.

I may have to divorce him. I just don't think I can stay married to a man that doesn't like MP.

My DH won't watch it at all. Even if I try to sneak in a few scenes when it is on BBC, he will make it a point to come in and change the channel. The craziest part is, he loves stupid movies like "Thats My Boy" or "Scary Movie 14".

The one my DH always quotes: (from Life of Brian)
Brians Mother: He's NOT the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

I have Blackadder ringtone on my phone since year dot. My current phone is 7 years old because I don't want to lose the ringtone. To my shame, I could re-write all the scripts from memory!

I love Black Adder. Not a big fan of Mr. Bean but Benny Hill, Black Adder and Monty Python are hilarious. As well as Fawlty Towers and Keeping Up Appearances.
