QUOTE (invisibleairwaves @ Mar 26 2005, 12:46 PM) AAARGH! I've never seen this skit! 
It's a classic (aren't they all!) called "Crunchy Frog."
Well, why don't you move into more conventional areas of confectionery, like praline or lime cream; a very popular flavour I'm led to understand. I mean look at this one, 'Cockroach Cluster', 'Anthrax Ripple'. What's this one, 'Spring Surprise'?
Ah - now, that's our speciality - covered with darkest creamy chocolate. When you pop it in your mouth steel bolts spring out and plunge straight through-both cheeks.
Well where's the pleasure in that? If people place a nice chocky in their mouth, they don't want their cheeks pierced. In any case this is an inadequate description of the sweetmeat. I shall have to ask you to accompany me to the station.
It's a fair cop.

QUOTE (Sark @ Mar 26 2005, 12:06 PM) We select only the finest Cornish ram's bladders... ...emptied, steamed, flavoured with sesame seeds whipped into a fondue and garnished with Lark's vomit.
Lark's vomit?
Correct.
Well it don't say nothing about that here.
Oh yes it does, on the bottom of the box, after monosodium glutamate.
Well I hardly think this is good enough. I think it would be more appropriate if the box bore a large red label warning, Lark's vomit!

I must warn you that in the future you should delete the words 'crunchy frog', and replace them with the legend 'crunchy raw unboned real dead frog', if you want to avoid prosecution.
What about our sales?
I'm not interested in your sales, I have to protect the general public. Now how about this one. It was number five, wasn't it? Number five, 'Ram's Bladder Cup.' What kind of confection is this??

QUOTE (Slaine mac Roth @ Mar 25 2005, 01:00 PM) Yes, the original Twilight Zones were great - the less said about the modern version the better although I did quite enjoy Inconstant Moon.
For the originals, the stand out for me include
The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
A Nice Place to Visit (the first Twilight Zone episode I ever saw)
Two
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
One I would like to see is An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.OMG! The last thing I expected to see in here was a reference to my all-time favorite short stories, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," by Ambrose Bierce!! If you've never read this, you need to, it's freakin' awesome! Hey Slain, have you ever seen the short film of this, probably made in the early 70's sometime, maybe, I'm guessing? It was pretty good. Anyway, here's a link to the story. It's not that long of a read, but it's worth it, trust me! Everyone should check this one out....

If I may begin at the beginning. First there is the cherry fondue. This is extremely nasty, but we can't prosecute you for that.
Agreed.
Next we have number four, "Crunchy Frog."
Ah, yes.
Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in here??!!

I saw a tee-shirt on a guy last week that said on the back "I'm what Willis was takin' about!"

No you didn't - You had the right number from "And now for......" - The rest of us quoted the TV series, you didn't screw up - Python did by getting their own numbers mixed up

From which film soundtrack album does this quote come?

Madra's right IA. You didn't screw up anything! Stay with us!
Oh, this is one of my favs on vinyl. It would be from "The Album Of The Soundtrack Of The Trailer Of The Film Of Monty Python And The Holy Grail" and is the 'commentary' at the end of the "witch" sketch by the Proffesional Logician.
"Good evening. The last scene was interesting from the point of view of a
professional logician because it contained a number of logical fallacies;
that is, invalid propositional constructions and syllogistic forms, of the
type so often committed by my wife."
I just love it!
Correct, of course
This is an absolutely true story - I first picked up that album on vinyl in about '81 (I actually heard the record befoe seeing the film!!). In '82, I did philosophy in college, and logic was the first area wee studied.
One week in, we actually were told that "universal affirmatives are only partially convertible". I damn near wet myself.
That Christmas, I got 24/25 in my logic question in the end of term exams, my answer was based TOTALLY on that sketch.
That's classic Madra!
I love it when stuff like that happens! 
OK, here's a quick one:

QUOTE (NeilPeartFan2112 @ Mar 23 2005, 02:03 PM) I have always thought wrestling was stupid. 
Yea, me too,.... til I found out just how much these guys make!
I never watched it before I meet Bill, and don't really keep up on it now either, at least not until he comes back, whenever that might be. But he's gotten me ringside many times before and it was a lot of fun, I must admit, although I would never 'pay' to go see a show. -

Right on , now we got an insider... Cool
Yea, he's really a pretty cool guy. He got a website up and running while he's been 'out' recovering from all his health issues and stuff. Here's a link:
Some of you may know him as his earlier persona, "Percy Pringle III, manager extrodinaire," which is what he reverted back to after the WWE "let him go" the first time, (and now he's back again, kind of) since they own the name Paul Bearer and wouldn't let him use it.
June 27, 2004 at The Scope Arena in Norfolk, VA, when The Undertaker buried Paul Bearer in concrete.

Given the premise "all fish live underwater" and "all mackerel
are fish", my wife will conclude not that "all mackerel live underwater", but
that "if she buys kippers it will not rain", or that "trout live in trees",
or even that "I do not love her any more." This she calls "using her
intuition". I call it "crap", and it gets me very *irritated* because it is
not logical.

Well, guess not!
Terry Jones found that no matter what order he put the skits in, laughs tended to trail off at about 50 minutes every time and thus concluded all people have a 50 minute "Python threshhold."
Someone else want to ask a question next, I gotta get to work now! If not, I'll put one up later.

Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, o Brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out,
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged,
And his nostrils ripped and his bottom burned off,
And his peni*....
That's -- that's, uh, that's enough music for now, lads.

Well, I found this paragraph at the end of the "And Now for Something Completely Different" section of my Monty Python Encyclopedia while trying to find a movie transcript for the previous question and I thought it was interesting. It says that Terry Jones ran re-edit after re-edit in test screenings of that movie, and no matter what order he put the skits in, laughs tended to trail off at about the same time! He concluded that all people have a "Python threshhold" of only so many minutes. That could be a question...
Anyone want to guess (in 10 minute increments) how long the "Python threshold" is?
-
Well, on second thought, let's not go to The Monty Python Thread -- it is a silly place.
Right.
And that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped.
This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedemir. Explain again how sheeps' bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

I don't know what that would cost, but it couldn't be that much, could it? Anyway, if you're interested...

No no ahhhh at the back of the throat.
What?
'... the Castle of uuggggggh'.
What is that?
He must have died while carving it.
Oh, come on!
Well, that's what it says.
Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'aaggggh'. He'd just say it!
Well, that's what's carved in the rock!
Perhaps he was dictating.
Oh, shut up. Well, does it say anything else?
No. Just, 'uuggggggh'.
