On second thought, let's not, for it is a silly place.

Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

In highschool we used to just repeat large portions of the script of Grail to each other in place of actual human conversation. I can still trot out the whole "Old woman!" scene by memory when the moment calls for it.

My fave, You Don't Need To Follow Anybody.

With its catchy lyrics...

Look, you've got it all wrong.

You don't need to follow me.

You don't need to follow anybody!

You've got to think for yourselves!

You're all individuals!

You're all different!

You've all got to work it out for yourselves.

Don't let anyone tell you what to do!

Dead Parrot. It's the album cover for Your Mother Smells of Elderberries. Sick rhymes.

The picture is from 1970. John Cleese is 30 or 31 years old in that picture...

They originally were the Knights Who Say Ni, but broke up for a while for some solo work, then reunited as The Knights Who Say Ekki Ekki Ekki Pitang Zoom Boing. Best rap album ever, with the chart topper "Only a Flesh Wound".

unfortunately, the lumberjack song is a teeny bit transphobic by today's standards - if they were to do that today, the mountie singers and the lumberjack's lover would say "okay cool, you be you"

This is Deforested Hillock. Their biggest hit was "Advanced Maladjustment in the Noggin"

Simultaneously the best and worst answer.

Definitely not me. I just want to go put on women's clothing and hang around in bars...

Yeah. I have it on CD. They had it on vinyl, too, but I refused to buy the record because it was scratched.

This is Toad The Wet Sprocket, of course!

"Rex Stardust, lead electric triangle with Toad The Wet Sprocket, has had to have an elbow removed following their recent successful worldwide tour of Finland. Flamboyant, ambidextrous Rex apparently fell off the back of a motorcycle. "Fell off the back of a motorcyclist, most likely," quipped ace drummer Jumbo McClooney on hearing of the accident. Plans are already afoot for a major tour of Iceland.

"Divorced after only eight minutes, popular television singing star Charisma changed her mind on the way out of the registry office, when she realised she'd married one of the Donkeys by mistake. The evening before, in LA's glittering night spot The Abbatoir, she'd proposed to drummer Reg Abbott of Blind Drunk, after a whirlwind romance and a knee-trembler. But when the hangover lifted, it was Keith Sly of the Donkeys who was on her arm in the registry office. Keith, who was too ill to notice, remained unsteady during the short ceremony and, when asked to exchange vows, began to recite names and addresses of people who also used the stuff. Charisma spotted the error as Keith was being carried into the wedding ambulance, and became emotionally upset. However, the mistake was soon cleared up, and she stayed long enough to consummate their divorce.

"Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager Lefty Goldblatt. They've been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became, for a while, Trout, then Fried Trout, then Poached Trout In A White Wine Sauce, and finally, Herring. Splitting up for nearly a month, they reformed as Red Herring, which became Dead Herring for a while, and then Dead Loss, which reflected the current state of the group. Splitting up again to get their heads together, they reformed a fortnight later as Heads Together, a tight little name which lasted them through a difficult period when their drummer was suspected of suffering from death. It turned out to be only a rumour, and they became Dead Together, then Dead Gear, which led to Dead Donkeys, Lead Donkeys, and the inevitable splitup. After nearly ten days, they reformed again as Sole Meunière, then Dead Sole, Rock Cod, Turbot, Haddock, White Bait, the Plaices, Fish, Bream, Mackerel, Salmon, Poached Salmon, Poached Salmon in a White Wine Sauce, Salmon Meunière, and Helen Shapiro. This last name, their favourite, had to be dropped following an injunction, and they split up again. When they reformed after a record-breaking two days, they ditched the fishy references and became Dead Monkeys, a name which they stuck with for the rest of their careers. Now, a fortnight later, they've finally split up."

Chapman: It trying to remember if he turned off the stove.

Idle: Has asked for the manager to complain, but turns out the manager is right about everything and he's realizing that just now.

Jones: Waiting for the bus, looking forward to the Pizza that is in his fridge.

Palin: "Hey kids, do you wanna see a dead body."

Cleese: Has just conceived of a new, exciting way to commit arson.

Gilliam: Not pictured because the new, exciting way to commit arson involved his car.

Wasn't there this sad story of one of the members who would much rather have become a lumberjack? Leaping from tree to tree? As they float down the rivers of British Columbia? The Fir, the larch, the mighty Scots pine...
