"Yes, 1st Mate Wilkens."
"I think," he says while pointing out the front window of the bridge, "we are about to get spoken to..."
Suddenly, there is a loud, booming voice echoing out across the turbulent waters and filling the control room..." Arthur Pewty! Are you a man... or a mouse? You've been running to long, Arthur Pewty; it's time to stop. Time to turn and fight like a man! Go back in there, Arthur Pewty! Go back in there and pull your finger out!"
Cpt. Boogenkamp looks over at 1st Mate Wilkens with a screwed up look of confusion on his face. Similarily, the same look is returned with the addition of shrugged shoulders.
Again, the loud, booming voice fills the control room with a commanding tone of impatience and divine authority..."Hello! Anyone there?"
1st Mate Wilkins jumps out of his seat in haste and quaking with fear, makes his way towards the window..."Y-Yes... Yes, Your Honor... I mean, Your Excellency... I-I mean, Your Wizardry."
"Are you Arthur Pewty?"
"N-no, no sir! There is no one on this ship by that name!"
"Huh? Really?" The reverberations from the loud voice knocks one of the framed Captain's Certificates off the wall.
Shaking his head slowly, 1st Mate Wilkins replies, "Nope."
"Well, I'll be damned! Okay, well goodnight."

..... I was passing a farm when I overheard some commotion.
I left the King's Road to find out what was going on.
As I cleared the corner of the shed I witnessed the horror on the farmer's face.
A mounted division of the King's men had taken a shortcut through his wheat field.
They were riding at a fast pace and everything got trampled.
The poor farmer fell to his knees, tears rolling down his face .....
“after supper
she got out her book
and learned me about Moses
and the Bulrushers
and I was in a sweat
to find out all about him;
but by and by
she let it out
that Moses had been dead
a considerable long time;
so then I didn't care no more about him,
because I don't take no stock
in dead people,” says Huck.

I spent countless hours during my younger years watching first "Monty Python" the BBC tv show on PBS, buying their LP's and then never missing a movie. To this day random lines & songs will pop in to my head at odd moments. Spam, spam, spam.....lovely spam!

"Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk."

Created this motion graphic for this week's theme of "Time" on the Moncton Photography Facebook page. With a tip of the (bowler) hat to John Cleese in one of his most iconic roles in Monty Python's Flying Circus - The Ministry of Silly Walks. One of my good friends recently commented that my last animation was "Terry Gilliam Mk II". =)
I bought the Cleese / Ministry of Silly Walks watch some time ago. They are made by the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild.

Castle Stalker Scotland.
One of many interesting castles to photograph in Scotland.I'm sure they built them all those years ago just for us photographers, as they are perfect for the long exposure. I am always fascinated when I look at this great building, wondering about the life of the people who lived on them. Must have been a hell of a journey to get to the nearest pub.

"Death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy, teeth!"
I found this skull lying outside what appeared to be a badger sett..... A bit strange for badgers to make such a mess, so I thought maybe it was the work of foxes.... but there again, there was only this one piece of bone and no other bits and pieces lying around. The skull itself is a .... well.... I don't know. Maybe a (that's no ordinary) rabbit or hare with the upper parts of the skull broken off, it's hard to tell. Suggestions welcome.
The sun sets over Castle Stalker on Scotland's West Coast.
I took a circuitous route down to the foreshore to get this, stumbling through a steep boggy hill from the cafe which overlooks the castle. When I got to the bottom I spoke to a fellow photographer who had found an access road and parked up right next to the beach! Once I finished I had to gather up my gear and stumble back up the hill, this time with the added excitement of half-light. Still, I think the shot was worth the work, I hope you agree.

Castle Stalker (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal an Stalcaire) is a four-storey tower house or keep picturesquely set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe. It is located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north east of Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland, and is visible from the A828 road around mid-way between Oban and Glen Coe. The islet is accessible (with difficulty) from the shore at low tide. The name "Stalker" comes from the Gaelic Stalcaire, meaning "hunter" or "falconer", and should therefore be pronounced stal-ker, with the l sounded, not as in the pronunciation of the English word "stocker" and some L-dropping accents' pronunciation of "stalker." In recent times the castle was brought to fame by the Monty Python team, appearing in their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It also appeared in the film Highlander: Endgame.
He has left us his shoe. It is a sign. A sign that we must follow!
There is a scene in Life of Brian where a mob chases Brian, convinced he is the Messiah, and he accidentally leaves a shoe behind. The mob sees that as a sign and decides they must follow with a shoe raised on high. It's brilliant silliness but is more significant in that it contains a cameo appearance by comic legend Spike Milligan of The Goons fame.
We're Here looks at The Monty Python Side of Religious Expression today.
Rev. Brian Cohen takes a sneak peek at the poster for Monty Python's Life of Brian, curious as to the title character with whom he shares a common name.
Monty Python's Life of Brian was released in 1979 and created quite a furor amongst religious types as being blasphemous. It wasn't but it did take a satirical look at the fecklessness of organised religion. But most importantly, it was hysterically funny with classic scene after classic scene.
As a note of trivia, the script was completed and filming about to start when the financing was pulled by the backers. A friend of Python Eric Idle came to the rescue and financed the film because he wanted to see it made so he could watch it. That friend was Beatle George Harrison whose production company, Handmade Films, provided the money to ensure the film would be completed.

Watch the original scene HERE.
• Includes 4 minifigs: King Arthur, Sir Galahad, Sir Lancelot and the French Taunter.

Doune Castle is a late 14th century stronghold near the village of Doune, in the Stirling district of central Scotland. The castle is sited on a wooded bend where the Ardoch Burn flows into the River Teith, across a bridge from the village. It lies 5 miles (8.0 km) north-west of Stirling, where the River Teith flows into the River Forth.
This fine castle is the product of a single building period, and has survived relatively unchanged and complete. It was begun in the late 14th century by the powerful Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (c.1340–1420), the son of King Robert II of Scotland and Regent of Scotland from 1388 until his death. The castle passed to the crown in 1425, when Albany's son was executed, and was used as a royal hunting lodge and dower house. In the later 16th century, Doune became the property of the Earls of Moray. The castle saw military action during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Glencairn's rising in the mid-17th century, and during the Jacobite Risings of the late 17th and 18th centuries. By 1800 the castle was ruined, but restoration works were carried out in the 1880s, prior to its passing into state care in the 20th century. It is now maintained by Historic Scotland.
Due to the high status of its builder, Doune was planned as a courtyard with ranges of buildings on each side, although only the northern and north-western buildings were completed. These comprise a large tower house over the entrance, containing the rooms of the Lord and his family, and a separate tower containing the kitchen and guest rooms. The two are linked by the great hall. The stonework is almost all from the late 14th century, with only minor repairs carried out in the 1580s. The restoration of the 1880s replaced the timber roofs and internal floors, as well as interior fittings.
The British comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a parody of the legends of King Arthur by the Monty Python team, was filmed on location in Scotland in 1974. Scenes featuring Doune Castle include:[16]
·At the start of the film, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and Patsy (Terry Gilliam) approach the east wall of Doune Castle and argue with soldiers of the garrison.
·The song and dance routine at "Camelot" was filmed in the Great Hall.
·The servery and kitchen appear as "Castle Anthrax", where Sir Galahad the Chaste (Michael Palin) is chased by seductive girls.
·The wedding disrupted by Sir Lancelot (John Cleese) was filmed in the courtyard and Great Hall.
Just when you least expect them...
In the early years of the 16th century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximinez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisition...
Watch the original scenes HERE, HERE and THERE.
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise... Surprise and fear... Fear and surprise... Our two weapons are fear and surprise... And ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency... And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope... And nice red uniforms."

This is a must have if you've already purchased the "Rabbit of Caerbannog" set. With these two sets king Arthur and his mighty knights can finally defeat the mighty beast of Caerbannog ("What? Behind the rabbit?").
• Includes 2 minifigures: Brother Maynard and a monk
• Includes the holy hand grenade of Antioch, the chest it is stored in, as well as the cart that transports it.
• Includes the Book of Armaments (with emphasis on chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one). Consult the book if you are not certain how the hand grenade works.
Excerpt from the Book of Armaments:
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu... ... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

In the spirit of Flickr Fairness (if such a thing ever existed) this shot is offered up to besieged PolPat, whose charming rural image of a log pile near his home in Poland was cut down to size, Monty Python "Lumberjack" fashion, by yours truly.
Now this is offered up as a target for his cutting humour. But whatever happens I still reckon my pile is bigger than his pile ... :-)
For clarification, I should explain I spotted these at a local woodyard in Essex, England.

This set allows you to reenact Sir Robin's journey through the dark forest of Ewing, accompanied by his favorite minstrel. Will Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot fight the three-headed knight? Of course not, he avoids the fight by running away while the heads are arguing.
Watch the original scene HERE.
• Includes 4 minifigures with weapons/accessoires: the bravely bold Sir Robin, his servant, his favorite minstrel and the three-headed Knight
• The set also includes a sound brick with two melodies. The first ballad is to be played before Sir Robin's encounter with the three-headed knight. Lyrics:
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 raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen—
• The second ballad is to be played after Sir Robin bravely ran away. Lyrics:
Brave Sir Robin ran away, ("No!")
Bravely ran away, away. ("I didn't!")
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. ("No!")
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about ("I didn't!")
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, ("I never did!")
He beat a very brave retreat, ("All lies!")
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin. ("I never!")

Black Knight Zombina: "'Tis but a scratch."
King Ricky: "A scratch? Your arm's off."

King Ricky: "What's that, then?"
Black Knight Zombina: "............ I've had worse."
King Ricky: "You liar."
Black Knight Zombina: "Come on ya pansy."
..Letting them watch Monty Python was probably not the best idea I've ever had....
Btw - This is the translated version. Zombina only speaks Zombie.
