1. Can you summarize for those of us on dialup? Youtube is virtually impossible for people like me. nt

3. It's a python skit of a banal female
Edited on Wed Oct-01-08 12:07 PM by dmallind
Well not really - but John Cleese pretending to be female.

She chunters on for several minutes and then reveals the stratlingly original theory that brontosaurus was very thin at one end, got much much thicker in the middle and then became very thin again at the other end.

Actually is quite a good Palin analogy, except Ann Elk is more eloquent.

4. Ayee have a theory
Edited on Wed Oct-01-08 12:14 PM by junofeb
it is mine and belongs to me....

I've always loved this skit. Thanks for sharing. Python stuff seems so extreme when you first see it, but after awhile you realize that real life is just as absurd.


on edit sorry was replying to OP but :hi: anyways :)

5. Ahh, brings back memories.
I remember listening to that skit through headphones when someone switched the tapes in French class. Teacher caught on when no one could stifle the laughter anymore.
