Responses and British Wit

First off – a big “Holla” to the lovely folks who left me comments after my last post. You made my days sparkle a little brighter.

That said – only one of them dared to ask me a question. Thanks The Bumbles for taking me up on it. The question asked is:
“Do you appreciate Monty Python?

I hope this doesn’t diminish me in your eyes, but I adore British humour. I think it started when I was a kid and my mom watched “On the Buses”, and “Doctor In the House”. Then when I got a little older I discovered “To The Manor Born”, “Jeeves & Wooster”, and then my favourite of all favourites (in the 80’s) the “Blackadder” series and tied closely with “Red Dwarf”. I daren’t leave out the short lived series “Faulty Towers”.

Intermingled through the 70’s was “Monty Python”. And by that I mean paying good money to see their movies at the theaters. My warped and sarcastic humour found a home. The “Dead Parrot ” sketch, “Ministry of Silly Walks”, “The Lumberjack Song” to name a few that I can almost repeat verbatim.

However, my sense of haha line has its limits. I don’t enjoy “Mr. Bean” – although if you catch me on an off day – I can be seen laughing at the episode of him in a church service trying to stay unnoticed while unwrapping a mint or lozenge. That one kills me, but mostly because of personal experience.

So – do you still have any respect for me? Do you want me to destroy your phone number and promise never to call you again? Or … in hope against all hope I have wiggled myself further into your furry little hearts. Please say yes.

P.S.
The Bumbles - The Lovely Bones was an interesting book. I gave a huge sigh at the end at the picture of the icicles. But it sure does make you look at your neighbour twice. And yes - I do believe we can blame all of this on Cardio Girl. She's a good catalyst, isn't she?

Poolie - I'm pretty sure I found you while I was still living on Diaryland, but I'm not at all sure how our paths ended up converging. I'm glad it did though.
