    Oh yay the wheel of carpet samples is just about the only good thing what's-his-face has on the show! It's a tad awkward but it's just sufficiently silly :bigsmile:

    Then right click to bring up a menu and click on 'Open Image In New Tab' or copy and paste the link. You shouldn't be having a problem as it is located in the same place I put my other photos.

    What age are you, Logan?
    34.

    Well, I have a rule not to date people less than half my age, but I guess it's okay to be interviewed by one.

    Another difference between you and some of the other Pythons.
    Entirely right! [Sixty-seven-year-old Terry Jones just fathered a child with his 26-year-old girlfriend.]

    Title: Killing Time In Eugene.

    "We're now in Eugene, Oregon. Nothing better than a long bus ride at night followed by an invigorating round of 5 pin bowling. I think I'll keep my form, even though my scores have been low. No use trying to mix things up at this point. Will make some minor delivery corrections in my elbow. That should do the trick. Don't you think?"

    He morphed his face so that it was symmetrical in "The Human Face". I nearly threw up. It looked SO wrong! For the record, he made his left side the same as his right. I've always preferred his left profile.

    John Cleese was an outsider in school, and generally sat back and observed, developing his knack for subversive mockery. His mother was an acrobat, and his father sold insurance.
    http://www.lycos.com/info/john-cleese.html

    Cleese was raised an only child by his father, Reginald, an insurance salesman, and his mother, Muriel, an acrobat.

    Halfway to Hollywood by Michael Palin
    Alfred Hickling on the memoirs of the Monty Python man
    The Guardian, Saturday 17 October 2009

    "Yet it's clear why Cleese later nominated Palin as his luxury item on Desert Island Discs because, whether exploring the Pacific Rim or jogging round Hampstead Heath, he makes such unfailingly good company."

    'Python' star slithers into Bay Area
    By Rich Freedman/Times-Herald staff writer
    Posted: 11/06/2009 08:12:37 AM PST

    "Beyond his marital hell, Cleese was actually told he would have to repair the porch steps in a Santa Barbara house he bought 15 years ago in case a burglar falls and sues him.

    "It's laugh-out-loud funny but isn't funny," Cleese said."

    Seriously? John Cleese's mother was an acrobat? My great-grandmother was an acrobat, on horseback. We figure that's where we get these odd, muscular legs, all the acrobats and horse-trick riders in part of my family line.
