    That's a bummer... I wasn't aware he had developed a form of dementia that rendered him unable to speak. 
    This has been a sucky year so far.

    I'm sorry to say that spam's off (permanently) - sad news.

    I'm thinking I should eat some spam to honor him. :/

     

    Man. Monty Python was a deep part of my childhood and formative years.

    To be more precise, it was Spam Terry Jones with Michael Spam Palin ;)

    I only saw a sketch or two of Monty Python as a kid on PBS. However they got to be far too popular and expensive for PBS since that time.

    In a weird coincidence, I just picked up a copy of the last film he directed, Absolutely Anything, in a recent VUDU sale and noted that that film was also the final film role for Robin WIlliams.  I was going to watch it this weekend, but now it's going to be kind of creepy given that the other surviving Pythons are also in it and I'll be wondering how many of my other favorites may end up making their last appearances in that film.  At least Simon Pegg still seems to be healthy...

    That explains a lot actually. cheeky

    Very sad news about the fabulous Terry Jones. Time to do a binge watch.

    Brian's mother:He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

    ARTHUR: Now what happens?
    BEDEVERE (played by Jones): Well now, Launcelot, Galahad, and I wait until nightfall and then leap out of the rabbit and take the French by surprise, not only by surprise but totally unarmed!
    ARTHUR: Who ... Who breaks out?
    BEDEVERE: Er ... We ... Launcelot, Galahad, and I ... Er ... leap out of the rabbit and ...
    LAUNCELOT covers his eyes
    BEDEVERE: Look, if we were to build a large wooden badger...

    In addition to his personal gifts of comedy, he also co-directed the Grail with Gilliam and directed Life of Brian and Facts of Life.

    Wow, I'd never seen the Spam skit before! (I mostly know MP from Fawlty Towers and that Viking movie.) Who says social forums aren't educational! cheeky

    I like that chair.

    Given Jones played the bewildered Cardinal Biggles, might this render be appropriate for this thread?

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    You missed the posts upthread a bit — it's really the Spamish Indigestion.
