mike, monte python humor breaks down if seriously analysed. it was
the nerd mating call when i was in high school. we hardliners could recite
the mp scripts verbatim. if an opposite gender person answered with the
next line in the schtick, it was instant infatuation. {8^D
i was so disillusioned recently when i learned that most python humor
was ad lib. no staff of genius writers pondering for months, all just
experimenting and seeing what people laughed at: the ann elk routines,
the spanish inquisition, all of it pretty much made up on the spot. how
they
could ever create such a thing is beyond me. spike
