The other day, my friend and colleague John Deering and I were talking about a Strange Brew gag a mutual friend had suggested. This one:
June 4, 2014, Strange Brew cartoon by John Deering, Creators Syndicate. From gocomics.com.
So yeah, you know what earworm snuck into my head. I share it with you now, one of the all-time best Monty Python skits. Happy Sunday!

I’m not sure how I missed out on Monty Python in my youth, but this was my first ever MP skit to watch. I think I’m hooked.

It’s a good one to get your feet wet on. I highly recommend The Holy Grail and just about any of the old episodes (you can find several on YouTube).
I got hooked when I was a kid because AETN used to play the episodes on the weekend when I was growing up. It’s just this wonderful mixture of smart and stupid humor and physical comedy (of which John Cleese, especially, is a master) that makes it hard to keep from snorting.
Of course, then you might be like me and start dropping Python bombs all the time. (I love it when I get to use “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”) 😉
