Eric Idle is drop-dead funny. "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life"

[kwassa]

Fired out of a cannon, with roller-skating nuns wearing Union Jack skivies, Indian Bollywood dancers, opera singers, and men with sticks.

Olympics closing ceremony. Prince Andrew was singing along.

1. That was totally crazy!

Everyone seemed to be having one hell of a good time, total dance party!

2. Best part of the ceremony, so far.

BTW, that's Prince Harry, not Andrew.

3. OOPS! you're right, Prince Harry.

the funniest part is as soon as the intro started, the audience joined in, they knew it so well.

4. And he went ahead and sang "shit" (bleeped out, of course)

Although it occasionally looked like all the props came from the 99-pence store, knowing that the sheer in-your-face campy, multi-cultural, yes-sex-exists glory of it was making fundie heads explode made me love the whole closng ceremony. Idle was definitely the highlight.

5. Sounds like I have ANOTHER apology due

I asked why Monty Python, Benny Hill and AbFab weren't represented.

turns out I was wrong about AbFab...

Well, one out of three isn't THAT bad...
