Happy Sex and Violence Day!

Forty years ago today, Monty Python debuted on the BBC and made the world suddenly much better--though it would be many years later before we here in the States, too, stared blankly in awe at the genius that was Python.

Happy Anniversary! Except Graham Chapman, you're still dead.

Yay at inclusion of Cheese Shop sketch, boo at exclusion of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VLwV48OHs&feature=PlayList&p=D6B1017542A12F2E&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=36) Dirty Fork sketch. Cleese's part as the furious chef is just sublime.

Woody and Tinny Words will always be one of my favorites. Ah, this news makes me want to watch the four seasons all over again.

I probably like(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJ-W6LioB8) this one way more than I should.

Why do we need a special day for this, when its that way for some everyday.

Damn right!

It's also fun to find your own woody and tinny words after too much to drink. (Beats the hell out of recycling lines).

I got a dumb, but related question.

Many years ago, I saw a Monty Python sketch that was inside a submarine. But the crew was not marines. It was housewives. And in stead of yelling things like "periscope down" and "engines on full", they yelled things to each other like "put the kettle on", "kettle is on!", etc.

Edit: found the script.

It seems MP tries to keep control over their videos on YouTube. Only a selected amount of clips on their own channel. I guess YouTube censors all the illegal clips ...

The sad thing is that I haven't seen the entire series, and yet cannot properly remember which ones I have and have not seen. I think I've seen like, half?

Guess I'll just start over the the beginning someday!
