Topic: Dont it make you feel old?!? Posted: March 02 2005 at 14:48 |
Well if your going to mention some obscure show down a back alley..
OK, OK, I was wrong, the humiliation! 
It did also appear in the Secret Policeman's Ball in '79, with Cleese, Jones, Palin and Atkinson but you're right, Mony Python did it first. Curiously, it was written before the Monty Python TV series were made, but not used until they appeared on stage. (Hope I got that right!).

A quicky for the Brits here (not sure if this bar was sold in the USA).
You might go 'oh yes, I remember that!' but stop for a moment and have
a look at the price in the corner.

26 years ago when I was born (not still rather old ), Pink Floyd has released their THE WALL album!
Of course, I don't remember this, but I remember how Rummenige and Maradona kicked their goals in Mexico'86, how Peter Shilton excellently saved his gates being 41 (!) at Italy'90 and how all people were as crazy to disco, Michael and Phill Collins-solo at my childish 80s

Shame on you EL - unless you were being ironic - The Four Yorkshiremen is probably one of the most quoted Python sketches ever (just don't mention dead parrots  ) - Theatre Royal, Drury Lane 1974 - Cleese, Palin, Jones & Chapman at their best.
Christ! That was over 30 years ago.....
I need a lie down.

I remember when my hip choices for footwear consisted of Doc Martens, combat boots, or Chuck Taylors. That's exactly how old I am. The day U2 stopped being a new wave band and became "classic rock" was the day I found my first grey hair.

Maybe as well, but Python did it. I have the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane LP. They also do it on live at the Hollywood Bowl. I love Atkinsons' Indian waiter bit tho'

Don't think it was Monty Python (he said pedantically! ). I think it was from a Secret policeman's ball. Wasn't Rowan Atkinson one of the four?

Did you not hear that the king has done a coup against his own government , proclaimed Martial Law and restricts the press. He says it is for the country's sake. True there is a Maoist Guerilla controlling the major part of the provinces.
I don't know what to make of it but four years ago, he was the only royal family member to escape the massacre (he was out of the country on business) but people suspect.......... he did it and not the Maoists.
Bad News, Man!!! Better go smoke doobies in Afganistan . Probably safer!!!

let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword
