a mild case of insanity

[ontology]

So, I'm reading about Monty Python's Flying Circus on Wikipedia, and trying not to scare anyone with freakish outbursts of laughter / glee. THE BEATLES WERE ALL MONTY PYTHON FANS. *fangirls* Could Eric Idle being the Narrator / every two characters or so in the brilliant parody documentary The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash have anything to do with this? (Best. movie. ever. Really. My cousins and I quote from it constantly. "Oh, dear, there's a rat up my leg!", and "...very bad Spanish for 'have you a water buffalo?'", and "I've taken tea! And biscuits, too!", and "I'm shocked. And stunned.", and whatever else I've forgotten. At the time I saw it my Beatles knowledge was absolute zilch, other than 'Yellow Submarine' because I'd seen the movie, and it was still hilarious, even if I didn't get all the in-jokes that had my dad and aunt suffocating in hysterics over.) 

Er. Yes. And now I am reading the list of every episode aired ever. Even this is wildly entertaining. 'The Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things'? 

Bother. I want my television and my high-speed internet back.

(LOST in THREE WEEKS! *had weird dream involving Kate and Sawyer playing cards and eating potato chips in the Other camp while being totally not bound and gagged, and Jack moping, and Charlie and Claire showing up at the Other camp, and regrettably No Desmond At All*)

Remind me to link you to Monty Python downloads at some point when you have your high-speed back (although I think I may have already done so?).

But yes, Monty Python. AWESOME. And the fact that the Beatles were Monty Python fans makes...well, makes everything so much more fun, since it is difficult to make either the Beatles or Monty Python more awesome.

Yes, yes, you did. Now I just have to, y'know, actually follow the link. (Following links from my profoundly idiotic AOL email is kind of like pulling a tooth. With string, and a door-knob.)

I suppose that if you sort of mushed the Beatles and Monty Python together, they could possibly be more awesome. Possibly. *has strange visions of the Beatles singing the Spam song, or, more frighteningly, the Lumberjack Song*

Which is why I use Gmail for everything. (Although I have pulled teeth with string and a door. It was not fun, not even a little bit.)

I don't think any of that ever existed, but callirhoe did post a video of the Beatles doing Shakespeare sketches (http://callirhoe.livejournal.com/42915.html?nc=3), which made my day.

You REALLY need to borrow the Monty Python's Spamalot Broadway soundtrack (if you haven't yet) from some random library or person (or me, I think I can send music files).

Seriously. -is serious- =P

*giggles* Sounds incredibly wrong, and yet the best things often are. ;) (Haven't got high-speed at the moment, so must forego any transmissions-of-things-through-the-internet for now, but am grateful for the offer!)

*friends you* TAG! YOU'RE IT! *runs off laughing madly*

Hullo, completely random person who rather made my day! *does not get friended especially often*

*friends back*

[goblin-valley.livejournal.com]

Hee, I was surfing through the flists of various cool people and came across you and thought, "Oooh! A really cool-lookin' person! I shall friend them!" (You were the only one I friended, doesn't that make you feel special? *grin*)

P.S. I homeschool too. ^^
