The Monty Python Appreciation Society

Posted: September 18th, 2007 | Author: Matt Hobbs | Filed under: Consume | Tags: , , | 3 Comments »

Many years ago back at school I founded ‘The Monty Python Appreciation Society’, which impressive as it sounds was in fact just an excuse for a gang of us to borrow the school video and watch episodes of Python at lunchtimes. Ah, the joys of being a geek. To be fair we had more reason than many people, as Terry Jones used to be Head Boy at our school, so there was a tenuous link which was exploited to full, lazy effect.

Now thanks to my birthday present from mum I get to relive those school highlights, since I now have the complete box set of Monty Python to enjoy. Amazingly, aside from a few sketches, it stands the test of time admirably and still makes me laugh out loud. Plus there are the quotes. Mmmm… quoteage.

    MP is highly quotable. My MPFC box set is one of my most treasured things. When I die, I’ll want to be buried with it, along with some coconuts.

    I think perhaps the inner nerd needs a little less embracing somedays.
