Controversy rages over the choice of Herman Van Rompuy (pronounched rumpy to rhyme with pumpy) to the EU presidency. Stung by British Rumpy Pumpy jokes the French-language Belgian regional newspaper La Capitale printed a list of our most irritating national traits. Britons, they decalred a group of lazy drunks who believe the world revolves around them. Stupid sods, they mised out workshy, piratical,...

For most of you, you may be tempted to avoid purchasing the DVD - in fact, you may wish to acquire the hour-long version of this documentary via dubiously legal means. Trust me, the hour-long version is a little truncated, and the six hour version of Monty Python: Almost The Truth is nothing more than a revelation. Covering pretty much the entirety of Python history (including the 70s record albums,...

Spy vs. Spy has long been synonymous with MAD magazine. The wordless cartoon, created in 1961 for MAD by famed Cuban cartoonist Antonio Prohias, who left Cuba for the United States when Castro came to power, was a classic reflection of Cold War sentiments, with each combatant reflecting a mirror image of the other in trying to up the ante and get the upper hand. Here's a nice animated collection of...
And I'm not talking about Michael Palin either: he's the nice member of Monty Python and he's a bona fide writer to boot. Anyway, "author" Sarah Palin crapped out of a book signing at a Borders in Noblesville, Indiana without...
Whatever you do for a living, I'm sure you can sympathize with the following... A person infiltrates your place of purveyance only to completely frustrate you because they, apparently, want nothing to do with your opinion or your services. In this case, I was reminded of the Monty Python 'Dead Parrot' skit, included above. Had the following patient walked in with a spear in his chest he would not...
Chrimbo is nearly coming. For some reason there isn't as many adverts on TV as there normally is trying to sell things we can't live without at Chrimbo. Childrens toys. A result of the recession no doubt. I must admit I've managed to live without childrens toys for some years. Then this happens when adulthood eventually arrived. Though for some it never does. Completely lost in the world of superheroes,...
This afternoon, I really wanted to write up something on the new DVD set Monty Python: Almost the Truth , but I just don't have the time/attention span. Hopefully I can crank it out at work tonight. So, we'll just do this list of things that come to mind for no reason. Chuck comes back on January 10, Burn Notice on the 28th. January's gonna be a killer month. Not that anyone really cares about my take...
A mash-up between Star Trek and Monty Python goes down very well at the end of the day. Try not to laugh: I dare you. (I got the pointer to this on Facebook, through Michelle Butler Hallett.)
Sen. Lieberman is setting steel rebar and hardened concrete around his threat to filibuster the public option. From Politico : “It’s classic politics of our time that if you look at the campaign last year, presidential, you can’t find a mention of public option,” Lieberman said. “It was added after the election as a part of what we normally consider health insurance reform...
Former Monty Python star Terry Jones was spotted supporting a Welsh brewery the other day at the Star Inn, Dylife where he enjoyed a few pints of Festival Landmark and Brewster's from the Waen Brewery at Caersws. “Best pint around”, said Terry who expressed his love of the local beer and spent the afternoon drinking it. The Waen Brewery was only set up earlier this year and has already...
The British comedy team, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, had an answer for governments saddled with huge budget deficits. In a skit, one comedian proposed: “Tax all foreigners living abroad.” If only it were that simple. As any member of Congress knows, raising Americans’ taxes is politically risky. That explains why so many ...
This is some kind of humour Blog apparently. the question is - which kind? Radio Four Humour "Those 'emails' how strange - always full of people selling medicines for erectile dysfunction and ladies with 'breast problems' and a man from Nigeria who has mysteriously got ten million pounds to share with me... And why is it called Spam? In my favourite Monty Python sketch the word 'spam' is used...
