I searched for just the words Monty Python, and 305 threads appeared. This does not even indicate the number of threads where MP was only quoted.
One of the best derailers, strongest troll-repelents and best laugh-starters on Absolute Write, Monty Python quotes have eased tensions, created tensions, helped a flounce-thread or two along, and built community with something so many of us know and appreciate: "and now for something completely different".

We did have one thread dedicated to getting it out of our systems.

It didn't work.

AW. A very nice place!
Ahh, so you're an archivist of sorts. Really cool.
Will be sure to have a question or two for you down the road,

about where the x is, if I'm not mistaken.

One of my favs from The Search for the Holy Grail

What is your name?

I am Arthur, King of the Britins.

What is your quest?

To find the Holy Grail

What is the air speed velocity of a laden swallow?

How do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Well I don't know that.

AAAAAHHHH.

How do you know so much about swallows?

Well, you have to know these things when you are king.

Going shopping with Soccer Mom and Bubastes for fu
When we play MP&THG, we sit around the TV and literally recite the movie word for word. I can break into the dialogue at any given moment, which has caused much horror and embarassment for my children.

Sir Robin ran away.
He bravely ran away away--
When danger rears its ugly head
Sir Robin turned his tail and fled--

...and there was much rejoicing.


yay.

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is?

ARTHUR: I am your king!

WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.

ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.

WOMAN: Well, 'ow did you become king then?

ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, angels sing her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom ofthe water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. singing stops That is why I am your king!

DENNIS: 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.

ARTHUR: Be quiet!

DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

See? :) It is one of the great phenomena of Absolute Write. We just can't help ourselves.

Chief Constable Er, now then sir, you are Attila the Hun.

Attila the Hun That's right, yes. A. T. Hun. My parents were Mr and Mrs Norman Hun, but they had a little joke when I was born.

Chief Constable Yes well, Mr Hun ...

Attila Oh! Call me 'The', for heaven's sake!

Chief Constable Oh well, The... what do you want to see us about?

Attila
I've come to give myself up.

Chief Constable What for?

Attila Looting, pillaging and sacking a major city.

Chief Constable I beg your pardon?

Attila Looting, pillaging, sacking a major city, and I'd like nine thousand other charges to be taken into consideration, please.

every sperm is scared

every sperm is great

if a sperm is wasted

God gets quite irrate.

Let the heathens spill them,

on the dusty ground.

God will make them pay for each sperm that can't be found.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

I one more time-a unclog my nose in your direction, son of a window-dresser! I wave my private parts at your aunties, you heaving lot of second-hand electric donkey bottom biters. I burst my pimples at you and call your mother an unrequested silly thing. You tiny-brained wiper of other people's bottoms! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!



Ahhh I feel better for that.

I had a very sad day once, playing an online game. The party were having a bit of fun quoting whole films verbatum( as you do), then some poor, poor, poooor person pipes up 'Who's Monty Python?'

We had to kick him from the group -- obviously he did not derserve to live.

A lady I work with was sick and her children asked her what she needed, could they get her anything. She asked for a wafer-thin mint and a barf bucket. They had no idea what she was talking about and made fun of her for it when she tried to explain.
A few years later one of her kids called her (away at college) and had seen Monty Python movies with friends. "Mom! I got it! I know what you were saying now." She felt a sweet bit of redemption in that.

I need to find one of our better derails with Python. We had a couple of trolls that really just asked for it. (that was pre-landfill, so they stayed in those threads).
