In light of Captain Peanut's recent misfortune


Hello..
As Im sitting here, my mind is a total blank, I have no idea what Im going to post, but hey, arts students drag it out from somewhere. One thing we're good at : Talking nonsense until something worthwhile pops into our heads. And......there it is.

Am I the only person that thinks John Cleese's status within the Monty Python troupe is a bit exaggerated? Somehow he gets singled out , but I don't think his contribution to the group's material was that good or that frequent. Look at Fawlty Towers, a series he and his wife wrote. Sure its marginally entertaining (mostly because it stars an ex-python) but it really lacks the randomness and off beat quality that the combined works had.
I vote for Eric Idle. Who wrote most of the songs. I read a column or two that he wrote , and it's incredibly funny. (It was in FHM about old age..if you were wondering)

So in light of this, I wonder who else is getting unfair attention for a group effort!!?
