To Sarah W, for the extraordinarily generous gift of the complete “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” on DVD!
Between this and “The Sopranos”—which I watched for the first time on Sunday—I’m going to be quite happy for a couple of hours at the end of every day for quite some time.
Thank you so much, Sarah.
Wow…I’ve browsed Flying Circus myself and I know how much it costs. Congrats, Jeff. You are lucky to have Sarah for a friend.
Maybe there is something to that whole “being social” thing after all.
I value my readers, BJ. I really do. Because as I’ve said on a number of occasions, it’s just not the same having a conversation with an apple if you can’t share it with others…
NO ONE expects the Flying circus DVD set…
[Diabolical laughter] HAHAHAHHAHAHAHa
Man, did I ever not see that coming
I feel shame.
Never saw a Sopranos episode before ?
Well, start here: Jews and Italians are exactly the same, except Italians know how to cook…
What about Laurence Simon? He can cook. Go ask him.
Incidentally, my biological father’s name was Santo Tetso. So I’ve got a just a little bit of the goomba blood in me…
Oh sure. Like they know from hamentash.
If anyone can explain why Charlie took Johnnie Boy for the ride at the end of that movie, I’d be quite grateful.
And, assuming food is diegesis, I’d like mussels marinara, some spedini romana and a hot antipast’ while we consider the motivation. Just to start.
Prego.
Hey Jeff, how ‘bout burning us all some bootleg copies and sending them too us.. I mean, that set is pretty expensive.. Too expensive for us blue collar working stiffs.. Come on.. do a bother right…
Santo Tetso ? That’s not Italian.. That’s Cherokee for ‘Dances with Joooooos’… I think that makes you Native American and much more so than WC.. Theres going to be an opening soon for a Head of the Cultural Studies Dept at the Univ of Colorado.. You might want to send your CV.. Make sure you mention the Santo Tetso part …
Warning: That Python set almost caused my then-fiancee to break it off with me a few years ago. I’d advise taking it in 1-hour chunks rather than in 12-hour marathon sessions which result in your talking entirely in show-quotes for three days, even to your rabbi and the cops. Overrated: Silly Walks. Underrated: Scottish poet Ewan McTeagle (“Oh gie me a shillin’ for some fags/and I’ll pay yer back on Thursday…” and “To Ma Own beloved Lassie/A poem on her 17th Birthday/Lend us a couple of bob till Thursday/I’m absolutely skint,” not to mention his masterwork “Can I have fifty pounds to mend the shed?”
