Well, they kind of did. They sounded like the words of someone who can't speak Norwegian, but tries to, in a jokingly way. Almost Pythonesque in execution
Come to think of it, Python did subconsciously inspire that. But not from the Holy Grail credits, but rather the "Funniest Joke in the World" skit. The joke that was so funny that anyone who heard it or read it literally died laughing. It was even used as a tactical weapon in WWII, where the British created a German version of the joke to use against them:
"Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!"
which, I presume, means nothing in German.

I received a text from my sister last night that her brother-in-law was found dead at his house last night. Cause unknown so they have to wait for an autopsy, but guess is either a heart attack or stroke. When I talked to my sister this morning she said that he had talked to one of his cousins a couple of days ago and said that he wasn't feeling well. Nobody had heard or seen him in a couple of days so they went to his house to check on him and found him. He is my age. Really strange that that is two people in less than a month that are my age that I know that have died. I figured I had another 20 or 30 years before that started becoming a more regular occurrence. Kind of an unwanted mortality check.

Sorry to hear that, Scott. Did you know the guy?
My friend who died of cancer and my cousin, who died in a car accident some years back, were younger than I'm now when they died. It's true, you never know when your time is up, so you should really live each day to the fullest. Not that I feel that I do that myself, but that's what I've heard you should do.

That's yet another great Python skit. Love that they couldn't translate more than one word each for safety reasons, and that a guy who read two words had to spend several weaks in hospital.

I didn't know him well, but I knew him. We were both groomsmen at my sister's wedding, and I would see him at birthday parties for my nephews and things like that.
