Hope I am not encroaching on Mark & Snow here (see Magna) but today is John Cleese's birthday.  One of my favorites comedians.

My favorite skit was the Minister of Silly Walks.  Wet my pants laughing so hard.

People remember it so well, because it was short sharp and sweet. They only made 12 programmes and it's amazing how many people are shocked by that.

He was also in actually he wrote "A fish called Wanda"  I was supprised to read that they only made 12 episodes.  When Fawlth hit Manwel with the frying pan I thought he killed him.  My youngest watched the episodes so many times he would sit in the chair and his lips moved reciting the lines.

See PBA Lumberjack song.
 
Trouble is some are very repetitive.

A Fish called.... was a good film, with a great cast, but I thought Kevin Kline stole the plaudits.

Flash, ref #6 - I was singing those lyrics just the other day while out in the woods with my chainsaw.  Along with:  "You're Stihl the one."  Named my saw Dahmer after cutting up a bear who met an early demise (before hunting season opened).  That fixed him for raiding the TDL.

I assume PBA does the chorus? Or is he the one with the yellow curls looking adoringly?

John Cleese, from the Monty Python sketch "Election Night Special":

Cleese: No I'm sorry, there isn't time, we have to pick up a few results you may have missed. A little pink pussy-cat has taken Barrow-in-Furness -- that's a gain from the Liberals there. Rastus Odinga Odinga has taken Wolverhampton Southwest, that's Enoch Powell's old constituency -- an important gain there for Darkie Power. Arthur Negus has held Bristols -- that's not a result, that's just a piece of gossip. Sir Alec Douglas Home has taken Oldham for the Stone Dead party. A small piece of putty about that big, a cheese mechanic from Dunbar and two frogs -- one called Kipper the other not -- have all gone "Ni ni ni ni ni ni!" in Blackpool Central. And so it's beginning to look like a Silly landslide, and with the prospect of five more years' Silly government facing us we... Oh I don't want to do this any more, I'm bored!

Even taken out of context, it's still funny stuff.

Dangerous stuff that even in those days.
 
Of course Odinga Oginga was a communist pal of Obama's Kenyan daddy.
 
And....look what I found
