And an idea for a drinking game:
# An Interactive Cast Directory - discover just how many roles Michael Palin plays

Every time Michael Palin appears as a new character, everybody drinks.

I let my friend borrow my copy and he returned it with the outside cover ripped and crushed and the discs all scratched up.

Kind of like me letting a friend borrow a perfect, brand new copy of one of my favorite books and having them return it with pages ripped out and the book rippled from being left in the rain and stained.
I was really mad. I wouldn't ever return someones property in that condition. I'd offer to buy a new one if I treated the original like shit. It's just fair to do that.

Don't forget And Now For Something Completely Different, which was a reworking of the show's most successful skits for the big screen. That's my personal favorite, but The Meaning of Life really surprised me again recently with how thoughtful and thought-provoking it really is.

i must have seen that movie 100 times and the only things I ever remember from that movie are the title song, the big fat guy that eats until he explodes (give me two of everything and a bucket"), and the totally odd short at the beginning where the office building turns into a pirate ship. that was fucking odd and, in retrospect, has "Gilliam" stamped all over it.

Mr. Creosote = "better get me a bucket i'm gonna throw up"

First time I saw this I was in tears, then proceeded to laugh even harder after he threw up 'again' on the cleaning lady.

I thought it was George Harrison who funded all of the Python ventures? (Wikipedia agrees.)

Okay, I somehow got this image to show. Anyway, not to take away anything from Monty Pyton, but is anyone going to pick this up?
