    Gungas that's brilliant thanks for sharing that
  1.  
    You've never said I was brilliant, Cad.

    Men.

    That's all you do. Just brag on each other.

    What if neither one of you were brilliant, but you just thought you were, because you're not smart enough to know?

    What if I was really slow, and I didn't know, but thought I was more brilliant than you, and I actually do think I am -- does that make me bragworthy, or do I just have to bitch about it until someone finally says, that was brilliant, Fanny?

    That was brilliant, Gungas, I agree with Cad, only on that point. But I point out, that Mrsthing is brilliant, too. I guess I better go read her sermon.

    In this lab, the students are separating the ulner nerve from the humerus bone. It has been suggested that this was the point the Chapman had decided to dedicate his life to comedy.

    Oh, okay. Kerri is the cute blonde girl who is "helping" John on his tour, right? Garry was discreetly vague on her job description.

    I love how he throws stuff in like that at the ends of interviews. He once dropped a comment about "Michael Palin's homosexuality". Michael must be an awfully nice man to put up with that level of teasing.

    Unfortunatly, there are a lot of fuckers out there who are just too stuck up there own arse holes to realise we are only having a laugh.

    John Cleese a roaring success at Lincoln Theater
    By SASHA PAULSEN
    Register Features Editor

    "Cleese, who has just turned 70, opened by telling the audience he’s undertaking his “Alimony Tour” of
    appearances to pay a recent $20 million divorce settlement. Why else, he asked, would he be spending his golden years, “trying to entertain farm hands and winos?

    "Perhaps the only low point of the show was the Q&A session in which members of the audience, invited to ask
    questions, attempted humor with generally tragic results. To try to be funnier than Cleese is probably like trying to be more royal than the queen."

    Paying the bills: John Cleese
    No joke: Alimony settlement prompts comic to hit the road with one-man show
    BY POP MUSIC CRITIC
    FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2009 AT MIDNIGHT

    Writer and actor John Cleese says he has a single claim to fame: that he’s taller than Dick Cheney.

    John Cleese's Alimony Tour
    A Python gets personal in Glendale.

    By ALYSIA GRAY PAINTER (?!?)



    But probably you think and admire and laugh about John Cleese on a daily basis. You're following him on Twitter, we hope. And you're silly-walking straight to the Alex Theatre in Glendale on Saturday, November 14th to see his one-man, musing-packed show.

    GORGEOUS picture!

    The troupe’s fans range from fellow comics Jimmy Fallon and Russell Brand to actor Tom Hanks and hard-core
    punk-rock icon Henry Rollins. “Monty Python’s records were like food for me as a kid, because
    — after hearing them — you knew it was cool to be weird,” Rollins said. “I’d put on my Monty Python records
    before I went to high school each day in suburban Maryland. I had to have my insulation of John Cleese
    to be able walk through the place.”


    I know how he feels!

    Sisthing! What were you before becoming a Cleessette? Did you exist? Did you talk or sneeze or carry a sword? Did you live in a hotel, sell cheese or tall males. Hmmm, what did you do before Cleese?

    Well, first there was Mighty Mouse. Then there was Billy Gail in second grade, but he grew up to be a stuck up snob, so I'm glad nothing ever happened there. Then there was Davy Jones, then a whole string of teen idols and a few older men (Christopher Plummer in "Sound of Music"--be still my beating heart!), then I got stuck on older men for good. My best friend and I went to see "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" 8 times just to see Harrison Ford with his shirt off. I can't think of the rest right now; there were so many!

    So, has anyone seen the Imaginarium movie? We are going to see 2012 - I am going against my will - I was out voted... might bring my iPod to listen to a book while there!

    Ooooo, Christopher Plummer in "The sound of music"!
    Er...I want to make the point that I haven't been a gerontophile all my life.
    When I was 8-9 I liked Duran Duran AND Spandau Ballet (I didn't give a fuck these bands were rivals, I loved them both. My favourite member from Duran Duran was Roger, the drummer. Never liked Simon LeBon. The second fav was John Taylor. My fav Spandau Ballet's member was Martin Kemp, though I liked his brother Gary, too.)
    When I was about 12 I loved A-ha singer, Morten Harket (A-ha was a Norwegian trio. They were amazing. Does anyone remember "Take on me", "Hunting high and low" or "Stay on these roads"?) And when I was 15-16 I loved New Kids On The Block (fav member: Jordan Knight. He was HOT).
