POLL: Monty Python OR Black Adder?

[Avril Roddam]

I personally am in favour of Monty python.

A few quotes would be good!

I want to see at least 50 posts here when I log on tomorrow!
Cheers.

Monty Python. Black Adder is good, but there's no comparison in my mind.


"O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down,
it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and
VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts
through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

O: No no! 'E's pining!

C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!! "

A tough call--I'd say apples and oranges, and they're both good.

Tim: the Enchanter:

Follow, but follow only if ye be men of valor! For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so fowl, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of four fifty men lie strewn about its lair! So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage, or your strength, come nay further, for death awaits you all . . . with nasty big pointy teeth!

Tim: the Enchanter:

There it is!

King Arthur:

Where?

Tim: the Enchanter:

There.

King Arthur:

What, behind the rabbit?

Tim: the Enchanter:

It is the rabbit!

Sir Robin:

You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!

Av, its Monty all the way. See you Thursday.

[Iwant2bafencer]

Well I'd have to say Monty because . . . *looks around all nervous like* I've never seen Black Adder.

"What is the speed velosity of a swallow?"
"An African Swallow or an English swallow?"
"I Don't know AAHHHHH!"

"...swimming pools full of fat German businessmen forming pyramids and frightening the children..."


"Who's at?"
"Dunno. Must be a king."
"Why d'ya say that?"
"'Cause he hasn't got sh** all over im."

[Iwant2bafencer]

"Bring out your Dead!"
"Here's one"
"Ninepence"
"I'm not dead yet."
"What?"
"Nothing, here's your ninepence"
"I'm not dead!"
"Er, he says he's not dead."
"Yes he is."
"I'm not!"
"He isn't?"
"Well he will be soon. He's very ill."
"I'm getting better."
"No you're not, you'll be stone dead ina moment."
"Oh I can't take him like that it's against regulations."
"I don't want to go on the cart."
"Oh Don't be such a baby"
"I can't take him"
"I feel fine!"

I'll stop there

Both excellent, but Monty Python rules.

From rec.sports.fencing some time back, on a brief rumour of Gourdain's death:

He's crossed over. Stepped out. At peace. Departed. Released. With God. Closed his eyes. Bought a ticket on the Stygian ferry. Passed on. Come to an untimely end. Popped off. Dropped off. He is no more. Death knocked and he answered. Launched into eternity. Gathered to his fathers. Bought the vineyard. Snacked on his last snail. Taken the big advance lunge. He's Boldly Going, Going, Gone. Score one for the Reaper. Got traded to the Angels. He's kicked the bucket. Dating Bambi's mom. Electrocardiographically challenged. Driving the six handled sedan. Threw an exception. Went out in a blaze of his own glory. Gourdain has left the building. He's taking acting lessons with Al Gore. He's fencing with St. Peter. Got black carded by the Grim Reaper. He was eliminated directly. His mask cord came undone for good. Got caught in prep. The doctor has given him negative one day to live. Halt!

Achieving room temperature. Gone past the vale. Checking out the big waiting room. Dancing with Grace Kelly.

"Look, I took the liberty of examining that fencer, and I discovered the only reason that he had been en guarde on the piste in the first place was that he'd been NAILED there."

monty python.

MR. BLACKITT: That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen- seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas,... [sniff] ...and, Protestantism doesn't stop at the simple condom! Oh, no! I can wear French Ticklers if I want.

MRS. BLACKITT: You what?

MR. BLACKITT: French Ticklers. Black Mambos. Crocodile Ribs. Sheaths that are designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual congress.

MRS. BLACKITT: Have you got one?

MR. BLACKITT: Have I got one? Uh, well, no, but I can go down the road any time I want and walk into Harry's and hold my head up high and say in a loud, steady voice, 'Harry, I want you to sell me a condom. In fact, today, I think I'll have a French Tickler, for I am a Protestant.'

*laugh* yes, Definitely Monty Python!

"This new learning amazes me, Bedivere. Tell me again how sheep's bladders can be used to prevent earthquakes?"

"Oh Kights-who-say... ... Who-so-recently-said-NI..."

"Albetross!!!!"

"Do you mean to tell me that there's a REAL frog in there?"
"Oh yes, we would never use artificial ingredients!"

[Tireur]

Monty Python, of course.

My nipples explode with delight!!!!

[Yankee Hill]

I guess I'm the only one or perhaps the first to say: Black Adder.
