See, that will actually work. Plus, Monty Python truly could perform horrible acts upon ye.

Actually, this is pretty funny. While reading it, I could just picture Graham Chapman or John Cleese reading it in the voice of a disgruntled navy commander or an uptight police chief as they did on MPFC. It's pretty funny that after all these years, the surviving members of MPFC still have a good sense of humor!

Viva Python!

I believe they will "spit in your general direction", spoken in a french accent.

I'm sure it'll only be a flesh wound

You'll never know what to expect from the Pythons, because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton! They'll make you sit in the "comfy chair" and then bring out the tea and crumpets! OMG, the humanity! Please for the sake of everyone's sanity do as they ask!

Bah, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! Now go away, or I'll taunt you a second time!

Finally, someone gets it. Get your stuff out to as many people as possible and eventually some of the people will buy it. You'll get more royalties that way, especially if your stuff is as funny as Monty Python. People tend to only want to buy quality, not (rap.

Exactly right. Plus, if you charge a REASONABLE PRICE for the legitimate thing, people are more likely to buy it.... so far, that has NOT been happening with any DVD collections in general for years.... 100 dollars per? I don't think so!

Redhound1, I think they actually "fart in your general direction", rather than spit. Whether or not the fart has a French accent I guess would depend on the food that they ate beforehand. Perhaps a nice smelly cheese quiche, or God only knows what an escargot fart would smell like.

Perhaps they will tell you that your mother was a hamster and then yell for you to get "that Welsh ***** out of my house."

Comment #1: There's plenty of old niche shows that don't require a 24 hour dedicated channel that should do this - and sell products to bring joy and happiness to our otherwise dull and meaningless lives.

Comment #2: The larch. The Larch. The.... Larch.
