They said it wouldn't happen!!
EvilPhog Amarr Dark-Rising The Dawn of Darkness	Posted - 2008.01.07 16:04:00 - [14] It's because the Monty Python crew are the epitome of what being British means. Being pretty stupid, yet successful and know how to have a laugh. We can charm the pants off the Pope. /wink

defiler Mad Hermit	Posted - 2008.01.07 18:40:00 - [24] I can't help myself when I hear/see the word lumberjack, I either start humming or singing or just fade out for a moment while the tune plays in my head, with a stupid smile on my face. Many of my friends do the exact same thing, and we're not even British. Granted, Sweden has a bit of a reputation for being on the same level as Britain when it comes to humour, but still. Who can deny the absurd awesomeness of Monty Python? Damn you, now I can't get the song out of my head! Mad Hermit corporation Minding our own business since 2004
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.01.07 18:52:00 - [25] Lumberjacks are our kryptonite. It's the single easiest way to derail a Britton's though proccess, thus mentally disabling him for the minute or two it takes to reach the final verse (possibly longer if he finds he's forgotten exactly how it goes and must mull over whether its "I'm ok" or "I'm alright"). True story. ------ Originally by: CCP Prism X There's no such thing as playing too much EvE! You all obviously need more accounts!

SoftRevolution	Posted - 2008.01.08 01:08:00 - [30] Edited by: SoftRevolution on 08/01/2008 01:08:22 I'm convinced it's a nerd thing. Throwing any python reference into any sufficiently large grouping of people above a certain age on the internet is like matches into petrol. Not just lumberjacks, but parrots and african swallows as well. EVE RELATED CONTENT

Throwing any python reference into any sufficiently large grouping of people above a certain age on the internet is like matches into petrol. Not just lumberjacks, but parrots and african swallows as well. The only reason this parrot is still on it's perch is because you NAILED it there It's not dead it's pineing (sp?) Pineing Yeah it's pineing for the fjords. ------------------------------------------- When we gonna see the 40km and 80km tractor beams ?
defiler Mad Hermit	Posted - 2008.01.08 05:26:00 - [32] Oh yes. I can highly recommend what I did once - watch The Quest for the Holy Grail (or whatever strikes your fancy) with a bunch of equally nerdy friends, plus one person who has never seen anything by Monty Python. It's quite an experience to see the puzzled look on that person's face. At first she didn't understand why we started laughing before the jokes, but after a while she figured it out and asked "you've seen this movie before, haven't you?" - "nah, only about fifty times..." Other things that gets me going are large wooden badgers (if I was a lumberjack I would build one), crucifixion procedures and the ministry of silly walks.

Leaping from the tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The giant redwood, the larch, the fir, the mighty scots pine!
