I think that Hatrackers should celebrate Monty Python on every Friday the 13th because it is a silly day. As well as on April 1st. Monty Python were geniuses, and rarely get enough credit. So who is with me?

I'm on board. Personally I think every day should be MP Appreciation Day, but I'm willing to settle for this lesser honor.

How about every second thursday of the month. MP is awesome and such, but hearing the "dead parrot" sketch every thursday would certainly wear on one's spirit. Posts: 903 | Registered: May 2003

I think we should add a day just for Tim the Enchanter too. We could call it the Day of Enchantment.

Maybe we could call it..........Festival of the Holy Grail ......or..........Enlightenment Day(Meaning of Life).............or............Celebrate Jesus Look-Alikes Day(Life of Brian)........pick one or supply other options

It could be called "What kind of snake is that?" Day, because the title would be just as silly and nonsensical as much of the subject matter Posts: 162 | Registered: Dec 2004

Are we starting tomorrow, even though it isn't the second Thursday? 'Cause it is the second Thursday after Christmas, and we don't have to be bound by such things as the calendar.

I think that is a better idea. Lets not set a specific day(other than Thursday). Lets all celebrate it in our own was on any Thursday we feel the need to. It just seem more Monty Pythonish to me. Don't you think? So lets do it!!

Talk about Spam........I love all those Spam sketches. They make me laugh just by thinking about them...... Posts: 6026 | Registered: Dec 2004

I agree with everything above. But I think we should be able to declare any day of the week the "second thursday of the month" at will. Yesterday, for example, was a wednesday, but had a distinctly thursday-ish undercurrent.
I therefore plan to celebrate yesterday today by performing the fish slapping dance...

If you have a subscription to Netflix, they have the 30th (I think) Anniversary BBC Python special, which is outstanding. Get it into your queue, and stand by the mailbox.

For the moment, Spamalot is only playing in Chicago. Once it gets through its trial run here, it heads off to Broadway.
As for the actual play, basically any sketch that was in the movie is reproduced ad verbatim in the play. However, Idle added plenty more to the show that makes it worthwhile. The fact that the search for the grail is nearly dropped and replaced with some great new material is more then enough reason to see it.

Here's a systematic celebration, for Rowan Atkinson's jubilee.
1) On every odd month of the year, the second Sunday will be celebrated with the purchasing of Norwegian Blues, and on the third Monday they will be nailed to the cage.
2) On even months of the year, during weekends, every person will walk a Silly Walk; preferably in public.
3) During Christmas, each shall say the "J" name of Lord God, and throw stones at priests.
4) On Thursday the 12th, each shall celebrate The Penultimate Supper. Friends, guests and waiters are all welcome; marsupials are to be sitting in the back. Three people are to have golden rings on their head; two skinny, one fat. Judas must look Jewish.
5) On Friday the 13th, groups of 4 will join for a reunion in Yorkshire, discussing their fathers' methods of murder.
6) On the 1st of April, all students are to change their names; two shall be named Nibble and Orifice, respectively. If there is a Plectrum, he or she must be tweakable. Undermanagers welcome.

SteveRogers, fullstops are the English, and presumably from Kama's usage of them, the European translation way of saying "period" as in at the end of a sentance. <-- like that

We'll not risk another frontal assault that rabbit's dynamite.
(skip a little bit)
Brother Maynard bring down the Holy Hand Grenade!
(Monks descend while chanting)
Chapter 22 from Arnaments.....
Brother Rupert(Not the real name I can't remember it)held up the Hand Grenade to the Lord and said,"Dear Lord, Bless this thou Hand Grenade so that we may blow your enemies to pieces in your mercy!"
And the Lord did grin....and granted his wish.
The people feasted on numerous things: ham, brocoli, turkey, breakfast cereals, oraungutauns....
(Brother Maynard interrupts)Skip a little bit there brother....
(Resuming his reading)To use this thou Holy Hand Grenade....first you must remove the pin...and then count to three...not four...nor two unless so proceeding to three....five is right out...
Thank you brother.
(King Arthur pulls out the pin)1,2,5
(Lancelot interrupts) 3, Lord!
(King Arthur corrects himself) 3!!!
Kabooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!
(This is not word for word....this is the best I could remember.)

Teshi, the captions on my DVD won't tell me what they're really saying, but that is what it sounds like to me.
SMACK!!!
And one of my favorites.... "I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough wiper! I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"

I was tempted to, but there was such a crush of people exiting and I had to catch a train.
