A T-shirt that's just a flesh wound

There's a Monty Python flavour on TeeFury today ... with the shirt, I notice, available with sleeves for two arms. 

Gonna have to buy it! 

Ah, the lovely Swedish lakes (and moose)

The opening titles of Monty Python and the Holy Grail still make me snicker. 

Look to the third line and say ... Ni!

For the Monty Python fan, and the optometrists, too. As seen here.

Four Yorkshiremen

I was making Nick laugh with some of the lines from this classic Monty Python sketch, which makes fun of the tales of deprivation that elders like to pass on ... with enhancements. 

I figured he might as well see the real deal. 

 

Day of firsts

It was a nice, bright Sunday here in St. John's - full of sunshine if not necessarily a whole lot of warmth.

Three things happened that are worth noting, for the record:

1. Nick and I took our bikes out for our first spring jaunt. Beautiful day for it.

2. I hauled the barbecue out and fired it up. Hopefully more to come. The aroma was terrific.

3. Not related to the weather, but today was the first time Nick has seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail ... that is, the whole movie. I've shown him tidbits (the Camelot song, the monks who hit themselves with books, etc.) on YouTube, but now he's seen the works. When I heard him howling at the Swedish translation jokes in the Bergmanesque opening credits (and, granted, he won't get the Bergmanesque bit for years), I knew he's found a keeper that will amuse him for years and years ... just like his folks.

Monty Python meets Operation, on a T-shirt

The age-old game of Operation gets a makeover in today's offer from TeeFury, with the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail on the table.

A nice touch: the MB logo, for Milton Bradley, has had an update. Just check the bottom-left corner.

And, just for fun, here's one of my favourite John Cleese moments.
