    The local W.H. Smiths had "buy two get one free" offer on DVDs so I bought The Meaning of Life, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and The Life of Brian. I've just watched all three back to back and feel all the better for having done so - satirical humour at it's very best! Definitely not for the easily-offended as there are countless references that could deeply offend many many people. I think the reason they are so undeniably funny is because everything they do is just about ludicrously possible. Just about. ;) The Meaning of Life is in my opinion by far the best of the Python films. Ok so no continuous storyline, rather a loosely connected series of sketches, but that is what they did best. The sketch with John Cleese giving sex ed is absolutely brilliant, the accompanying title (and my message subject) was hilarity defined, and the part about the first Zulu war being fought in Glasgow... Some of you wanted to know what "taking the piss" meant; well Monty Python come very very close. For those that haven't seen any: good god man you need to get out - here's a couple of songs to whet your appetite... ---- Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis? Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong? It's swell to have a stiffy, It's devine to own a dick. From the tiniest little tadger To the world's biggest prick! So three cheers for your willy or John Thomas. Hooray for your one-eyed trousers snake. Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend, Your Percy or your cock. You can wrap it up in ribbons, You can slip it in your sock. Don't take it out in public, Or they will put you in the dock ... And you won't .. come .. back ---- All things dull and ugly, all creatures short and squat. All things rude and nasty, the Lord God made the lot. Each little snake that poisons, each little wasp that stings. He made their brutish venum, he made their horrid wings. All things sick and cancerous All evil great and small. All things foul and dangerous, the Lord God made them all. Each nasty little hornet, each beastly little squid, Who made the spiny urchin? Who made the sharks? He did!! All things scabbed and ulcerous, all pox both great and small. Putrid foul and gangrenous, the Lord God made them all. Amen ---- Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown And things seem hard or tough And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And r

        David I am completely disapointed! You forgot to list this: Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate... Etc, etc ,etc (don't remember the rest) The only thing that I don't like about the Meaning of Life is that it starts out great, and kind of drags on near the end, like they ran out of gas. Still, great stuff! ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

              Good choices, David. But "Sit on my Face" is still my favorite Python tune!:-D It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

                  This was mentioned in part a couple of weeks ago, so I'll bring it up again: I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries![^] (again with audio). Now I never saw the telly series as I wasn't even conceived at the the time, but there is the funniest joke in the world, right? Just what does it mean? ... Wenn ist das Nunstrück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! ... Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput! ;P

                      Wonderful link.:) I have the Monty Python Songbook, which includes the sheet music for many of them. The old "Sit on my Face" was a favorite for cruising through the parking lots of high security establishments with the windows rolled down and the volume full on. The looks from the straightlaced suits in range were priceless!:-D It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.
