Monty Python is hard for me to take much. Eric IDLE just did an interminable monolog

Yes, brilliant. Yes, tour de force delivery. And insufferable (for me). I love the movies (the chivalry one, the Life of Brian one) and isolated skits ("Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition&quot , but there are definite limits.

I remarked how other cultures (the Brits are "Europeans&quot go piff about American political correctness, using ethnic slurs like water.

But to take it to a more incendiary level, I've always been out of step with my counter-culture generation: Besides the Pythons much, can't take COSBY or CARLIN, either --- more at the "AT ALL" end of things.

Frankly, I just don't see why anyone else bothers doing comedy at all.

Those guys you mention -- they must have been philosophy majors or something... Stupid stuff no one cares about.

Oh yeah... Larry The Cable Guy is funny too.

All intellectuals are gay.

It's so annoying!

Things that make you go 'hmmmm..." should be banned by all right-thinking citizens,
who try hard every day to serve the nation well by thinking as LITTLE as possible,
and ONLY when ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

Everbody knows thinking sucks. Everbody everwhere.
