I remember how Terry Gilliam had Venus suddenly doing a tap-dance on the clam shell, alas to tumble into the sea - another indelible image from Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Couldn't resist choosing this Monty Python sketch for today's Flickr Group Roulette.
After all - there are Mounties in it! Couldn't find suspenders this morning and, even though I live in a town where there is a Fur Trappers Association, the lumberjack fur cap was nowhere to be found.
Sing it with me:
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
Chorus : He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
suspenders, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama!
Submitted to Monthly Scavenger Hunt - Oktober 2009 ("But she *has* got a wart!")
Met a woman with a wart in the metro yesterday but didn't bother to ask her for a photo. So I had to revitalise my daughter's abandoned doll for this category ;-)
"After King Arthur and his Knights killed the rabbit they decided to go to Antioch to up their firepower. The King himself chose a M60 7.62mm Machinegun - *The Beast* as it henceforth shell be known. Sir Galahad has to make do with the smaller calibre belt-fed SAW. Sir Bedevere's vision was obscured by his helmet again - so the arms dealer sold him a cheap M16A3; he now fancies himself the troops sniper - whatever. Sir Lancelot chose wisely - the shortened Commando version suits him well. He just likes to slice up peasant's with his bajonet. The King of Swamp Castle bought a Beretta and a couple more holy grenades. And Bond? Well - he's drunk again and has to make do with his AK for now."
[Brian is writing graffiti on the palace wall. The Centurion catches him in the act]
Centurion: What's this, then? "Romanes eunt domus"? People called Romanes, they go, the house?
Brian: It says, "Romans go home. "
Centurion: No it doesn't ! What's the latin for "Roman"? Come on, come on !
The first in my Top Ten movies and an unofficial tribute to the lovely Redcherryhill and her fab 'Life of Brian' pic. I grew up with the mutterings of my granny, who loathed this film and and its blasphemy (despite having never seen it). The first time I watched it, I was about 17 and fell about laughing. It was the FUNNIEST film I had ever seen and I couldn't hear the name 'Brian' without giggling!
Sadly, one centurion died during the making of this scene - Milo jumped up and snatched him :(
I can't pass a building clad so in dust sheets without thinking of those brave and reckless men of The Crimson Permanent Assurance and remember their crusade against the cruel forces of multinational corporations.
Don't miss part 2 of that video with the obligatory musical number
Oslo International Film Festival is celebrating the 40-year anniversary of Monty Python and the 30-year anniversary of the premiere of Life of Brian, with a special screening in cooperation with Cinemateket and Lille Måne Forlag. Terry Jones is visiting Oslo to promote the Norwegian edition of his latest book The Barbarians, and he will also be attending the screening of Life of Brian at Filmens Hus on the 24th of November. Life of Brian is the now well-known story of Brian Cohen, the man mistaken for the Messias. Life of Brian was banned in Norway in 1980, and was not released in its original form until 2004.
