“Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what’s coming to ya! I’ll bite your legs off!”
Best film ever.
“How do you know he’s a king?”
“He hasn’t got shit all over him.”
“Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”
“Come see the violence inherent in the system.”
“Well how do you know she’s a witch”
“She turned me into a Newt”
Sorry if that last one made you lose your lunch.
The Knights of Nee want a shrubbery….
The Knights who say “Nee”
My bad…I was being threatened by a killer rabbit at the time of the post.
Do not underestimate the danger inherent in a mad rabbit hatter.

Is that scene in England or Wuhan?
NYC – but its all being faked.
I’m not dead yet…..
I’m kind of impartial to the castle Anthrax.
Let me must face the peril!
“We are but eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen and a half, cut off in this castle with no one to protect us! Oh, it is a lonely life — bathing, dressing, undressing, making exciting underwear…. ”
DINGO: Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Zoot! Oh, she is a naughty person, and she must pay the penalty — and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon. You must tie her down on a bed and spank her!
GIRLS: A spanking! A spanking!
DINGO: You must spank her well. And after you have spanked her, you may deal with her as you like. And then, spank me.
VARIOUS GIRLS: And spank me. And me. And me.
DINGO: Yes, yes, you must give us all a good spanking!
GIRLS: A spanking! A spanking!
DINGO: And after the spanking, the oral sex.
GIRLS: Oral sex! Oral sex!
GALAHAD: Well, I could stay a BIT longer.
God: Arthur. Arthur, King of the Britons! [Arthur and the Knights grovel] Oh, don’t grovel! If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s people groveling.
King Arthur: Sorry.
God: And don’t apologize!
“It’s just like those miserable psalms, always so depressing.”
Just watched it the other night, but feeling motivated again. We will likely NEVER be allowed to see such funny stuff again given our truly fucked up world. Life of Brian came out when I was attending a Catholic High School (no, never raped by any priests). I was also taking Latin at the time. Of course the Catholic church “banned” Catholics from seeing the film (I am not catholic by the way, it was just a great school). So naturally EVERYONE went to see it. Out Latin teacher came into class one day (having also seen the film) and decided it would be a great day to review the scene in which Brian is confronted by John Cleese as the Roman guard, for his horrific latin translation of “Romans Go Home.” What a great class day that was. Anyone who has taken Latin must surely love that scene. What a great film that was as well.
“Nonsense, it’s but a flesh wound”
As if?
I submitted a post about fighting rabbits last night. The hillbilly farmer from whom I buy rabbits for breeding purposes actually knows people who raise fighting rabbits. When he told me that, I had to do some research and I discovered there really are fighting rabbits. So, I’m going to see if I can’t get some of them fighting rabbits and incorporate them into Watership Down here on the hillside.
So, there’s petting rabbits, frying rabbits, fricaseeing rabbits, baking rabbits and, even, fighting rabbits. Maybe come Easter Sunday, we might get some Holy Rabbits or Bible Thumping Bunnies. Who knows? The world has gone mad.
(I don’t like the plain white pink-eyed rabbits; I prefer a bit of color in my meat bunny.)
I actually have a hilarious video of me skinning a rabbit and its head fell off when I was demonstrating how easy it is to just peel that skin right off… like taking a scalp. But the head fell off and it is a bit macabre. I suspect it is not fit for sensitive TBP eyes, but I’ll send it to El Coyote and he can decide whether to pester Admin to post it. Of course, if he had a posting login, he could just submit it.
Of course, last year, I think EC and I made fun of a certain asshat here who refused to admit he was the liar not me.
But, I built a bridge and got over it. Just thought I’d mention it.
If you watch the scene closely, you will notice that when Arthur cuts off the first leg of the Black Knight, he gets a lot shorter. They actually found a local merchant in the nearby town, that had only one leg. They used him for the scene instead of John Cleese, but he was shorter than Cleesse (most folks are). They allegedly kept him till the end of the scene because it was easier to just dig a hole for his one shorter leg than to dig a deeper and bigger hole for Cleese and his two very long legs. Even the behind the scenes look at this film is funny.
