Enjoying the new Monty Python YouTube channel, I somehow stumbled across this amazing gem of a Monty Python fan finding the Life of Christ a deeply offensive parody on the great JC – John Cleese.
It’s hilarious to watch this parody! Lots of great lines, but the “It has ceased to be” takes the cake!
Last week, I twittered a request for help finding Statler and Waldorf quotes, the snide-yet-funny remarks those guys in the balcony made during the Muppet Show.
I got so much help that I decided to post links for your reading:
I don’t know about you, but I’m experiencing political fatigue.
I’m amazed at how many of my sane, normally enjoyable, intelligent friends get so wrapped up in this election. Calling people names. Snide remarks about the candidates. Smug assertions of their own superiority.
As I see it, political conventions bring out some of the nastiest human tendencies–hubris, pettiness, vindictiveness–and brings them to a national stage. Mine included.
And this high level of emotional negativity is draining.
Yes, I believe it’s important to be politically involved. Yes, I am civically engaged. But c’mon. Democrats aren’t the anti-christ. And neither are Republicans.
Apparently I’m far more “moderate” than I ever thought I was! :0
I did my American duty and went. The technical process of politics was b-o-r-i-n-g. The level of groupthink was astonishing. And the intense seriousness that people brought to the convention was incredible.
The “Unofficial Guide” was my Gen-X nerdy way of trying to process the event. It’s a slightly irreverent six pages. My favorite portion is the section on Roberts Rules. I end the piece with “6 Ways to Make Your First Convention More Fun.”
In this day of increasing gas prices, it seems nothing is left untouched.
But you know it’s a travesty when it even reachs the Wheel of Fortune.
Contestants on the television game show Wheel Of Fortune have been hit especially hard at the podiums in recent months due to skyrocketing vowel prices, which reached a record $600 last week.
Read all about it on the wonderfully satirical website, the Onion.
