It's only a model.

[Neko_Ali]

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!

[Carl-E]

Why isn't this thread dead yet? 

[cesium133]

It doesn't want to go on the cart.

[jwhouk]

It's merely a flesh wound.

[celticgeek]

I got better!

[Kugai]

At least your not being repressed.

[Neko_Ali]

Bloody peasant...

[GarandMarine]

I feel happpy!

[Loki]

Random happiness ... that's no basis for a system of government.

[Border Reiver]

Random happiness ... that's no basis for a system of government.

Watery tarts dispensing scimitars is though.

[Kugai]

Bread and Circuses?

I'm confused. How did the tarts get watery? Did they get sloshed?

Another part of my cultural ignorance exposed.

[Carl-E]

Just rewind the thread to where someone was told to watch the movie. 


We'll wait...




And jwhouk, if you start going outside the confines of the one movie, I'll have to have a few words with you about a dead parrot...

It is bints. Watery bints.

[Neko_Ali]

He's not dead, He's resting! He's pining for the fjords!

[Redball]

Moistened bint and watery tart. Hadn't seen "bint" since I finished the Harry Flashman novels.

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.

Well, of course it was nailed there. If it hadn't been, it would have muscled up to the bars, bent them apart with its beak, and VOOM!

[Arancaytar]

This last page reminds me of what Randall Munroe said in that one strip about excessively quoting Monty Python.

[Storel]

Yes, it's easy to get carried away... 

[Method of Madness]

He was technically correct, but I don't really care. It's still fun to do.

[Storel]

Yes, it is. 

So, just because I was hoping to see the very next line before the Python quotes got shut down:

"Voom"??!?? Mate, this parrot wouldn't "voom" if you put four million VOLTS through him!!!

Thomas Huxley's remark applies: "It is the customary fate of new truths, to begin as heresies, and to end as superstitions."

[hakko504]

Yes, it is.

I watched the original after that.

Confession: I had no idea the lumberjack song was related to the parrot sketch *blush*

[Carl-E]

It wasn't, originally.  Only in the stage show and later the movie.  The originals were TV sketches, nothing was really related.  As the show often said,


"And now, for something completely different!" 

[KOK]

Actually the lumberjack song starts in the TV-show just as it did in the movie: a hard pressed character starts singing to explain his deeds. Only in the TV-show it was a murderous barber, not the pet dealer.

[GarandMarine]

And now for something completely different!

[pwhodges]

[DSL]

And now for something completely different!

... a mod with a giant foot.

[Loki]

Well, as a mod you sometimes have to


*eyeglasses*

take a firm stand.

[Sidhekin]

... put your foot down?

[KOK]

... put your foot in it?

[Loki]

... put your foot down?

gnah. I was going for that expression, but I forgot the exact wording and then I googled "put your foot forward", which was unsuccessful.

Have a poem.

Patrick was a gentleman
He came from decent people,
He built a church in Dublin town
And on it put a steeple.
The Wicklow hills are very high
And so is the hill of Howth, sir,
But there's a hill much higher still,
Much higher than them both, sir.
On the top of this high hill
St Patrick preached his sermon
Which drove the fogs into the bogs
And banished all the vermin.
There's not a mile of Erin's Isle
Where dirty vermin musters
But there he put his dear forefoot
And murdered them in clusters.

[Pilchard123]

In the frozen land of Nador, they were forced to eat Sir Robin's minstrels.

[Kugai]

Ahh, braive Sir Robin

[Schmee]

In the frozen land of Nador, they were forced to eat Sir Robin's minstrels.

... and there was much rejoicing.

Hahaha, never saw that version before!  Very clever.
