Happy 40th Anniversary, Monty Python!

I came across this in my surfings this morning. Here is the blurb that accompanies a video of celeb favorite Python moments: Monty Python was first aired on British television screens on October 5 1969.

The BBC spoke to Ricky Gervais, Justin Lee Collins, Jeremy Clarkson and Stephen Merchant to find out their favourite Monty Python moments. Click here to watch the video.

But the Black Knight refuses to succumb, declaring "'tis but a scratch" and it's "just a flesh wound" as Arthur dismembers him. In their desperation to win, however, the Clintons might well end up destroying themselves — like...

A Splendid Achievement (Terry Jones on W)

I write to you in my capacity as secretary of the World League of Despots. It is with great pleasure that I am finally able to extend an official invitation to you to join our ranks. For many years, we have watched your efforts to fulfil the requirements necessary to join our number.

Thoughts for Father's Day: "A Father's Duty"

Thoughts for Father's Day: ''A Father's Duty'' Posted by Doc Farmer Wednesday, June 11, 2003 I'm fortunate that I'm the father of two wonderful, beautiful and intelligent children. I'm not so fortunate about my ex-wife, of course, but that's another matter entirely.

But be that as it may, as any father I try to be involved in their lives as much as I can be, and give them the benefit of...
