Monty Python Comic

[Alex]

This comic well captures my feelings for rampant Monty Python quoters.

I'm actually not all that fond of random quotation of anything. I prefer it when people say things funny things of their own devising.

I can't argue with that, even though (shame face) I used to be one.

I saw Life of Brian....loved it.

Saw Quest for the Holy Grail...hated it. Why?

I knew all the damn lines to Holy Grail before I saw the movie. It pissed me off.

Surely you can draw better than that, Alex.

I find that *really* funny in light of your avatar:

There's a difference between walking around spouting quotes (as mocked in Alex's cartoon) and using a funny avatar. I was referring to people who answer every question I ask with a quote from the Simpsons, which I've encountered way too much (despite my love for the Simpsons.) Pbllllllt.

But I'm not smart enough to think of anything on my own.

Thanks for bringing up the Simpsons ... which, for random and oft-annoying quotability, is the new Python.

In fact, it's probably been about 20 years since more than 5 people were constantly quoting Python, so ... um, Alex, I think it's time to let that one go.

As for the cartoon, what's the joke? All I can think is, you can erase the words and replace them with whatever else you're sick of and have them beat the crap out of whichever geek you want.

I'd make fun of people who quote things, but then I remembered that we're Disney geeks (and I got here by way of Star Wars geekery - wanna hear my Jabba impersonation?). Sure, there are extreme cases, but for the most part this is a matter of being able to keep your quotes group-related. Keep your quotes within your respective geek societies and no one complains.
