Oh yeah? Well back here, http://www.threedonia.com/archives/7062 on May 8th I declared it was the #1 Monty Python sketch of all time.

Game, set, match, Rufus!

It was here http://www.threedonia.com/archives/14488

Interestingly, Philip K. Dick once did that, too.

Maybe I’m confused. Many months ago Rich did a post asking for favorite Python episodes and that’s when I posted the fish slapping dance. Has it been posted again?

Oh, sorry, there were so many environmental posts yesterday, I guess I lost track of who was posting what. Was that an effort to get rid of the “lack of depth” or to enhance the “perfect amount of shallow”?

I’m the one who posted the fish slapping dance. When we launch capsules into space containing information about the human race that will explain who we are to aliens those capsules need to include a DVD of the fish slapping dance.

It’s just such an anachronistic line. The question is so medieval sounding and direct, yet the response sounds so modern and unsure.

When my sons were pre-teens they really wanted to see “Holy Grail” because their friends were talking about it at school. Heck, Mrs. Firefly and I quote the film often! So, Mrs. Firefly bought the DVD for them. I told her I didn’t think it was appropriate and she questioned my judgement. So, I asked her to meet me in an adjacent room, out of earshot, and I quoted some of the Castle Anthrax dialogue. “Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.” But the DVD was in the house and she had already told the boys they could see it. We reached a compromise and I skipped over that scene.

Thanks for the link, Republibot 3.0. I really enjoyed that interview. I saw Cleese in an interview many years ago and he mentioned Harpo Marx as one of his chief inspirations.

Yeah, I don’t really want to explain that.

We did watch the fish dance via Rich’s post earlier.
