Thoughts of a dying humourist
Wednesday, May 17, 2006



As I was browsing the Education Dept's library for children's books (for an assignment at the time) I came upon a book that.....*wait for it*.....Terry Jones wrote! Its like looking in the cupboard for a Kellogg's Special K bar and finding chocolate mousse...!!!

Its interesting to see what the Pythons have been doing since the good old days.

Eric Idle - has been involved extensively in Spamalot, a spoof of a spoof (Holy Grail...) and apart from that he has been on a tour called "Greedy Bastard" , some sort of comedy thing obviously. (I know this sounds immensely vague but I dont have the facts down pat)

Michael Palin has signed on to Discovery Channel and he will be roaming many mountain ranges and travelling and generally freeze his geriatric bits off while documenting it all. (He has aged in such a manner that you dont recognize him at first)

Terry Jones has written many children's books and is living in London with his family (although Im pretty sure his kids are very much grown up)

John Cleese has been in movies and generally making himself useful (I think)

Terry Gilliam has worked on movies such as The Brothers Grimm, and got accused of "the story not having anything to do with the legend..." well what do you expect from a Python director!?

And sadly, today, Graham Chapman is not doing anything because he's deceased.

On a very unrelated note, Eric has strange looking hands...by that I mean theyre quite small with very slender fingers. Call me crazy but I consider hands a important player in the attraction game. Now Im trying to think of someone with good looking hands. ...Olivier Martinez? My ex? (he did have good hands....actually im pretty sure he still has them)

On that random note , I shall now go and forage in the rain.
Hopefully the subsequent fever will induce interesting hallucinations featuring you lot in different incarnations and plots. One can only hope.
