the luckiest bride

hey, i'm not gonna lie... i'm like most 'girly' girls... i'd love to get married someday. like, i'd love to pick out and wear my own ultimate white dress, and enjoy the ceremony centered around myself... but since i can't legally marry jean-lucien, that's not likely to happen like, 'officially.' but it doesn't stop me from wondering what my dress would be like. all that aside, how's this for a groovy shot? it shows the game and gorgeous miss carol cleavland, all draped in lacy white, and fully supported by her five devoted brothers. and they are, from left to right: the handsome genius terry jones, the vain man-diva eric idle, the dependable and sensible michael palin, the very homosexual graham chapman, and the wicked and rougish john cleese. who could ask for a finer bridal party?

palin and bush get my vote!

only ummm, not the 'palin and bush' you might think. yes, my big bad groovy vote goes to the terribly cool couple of python's michael palin, and the exotic and talented miss kate bush! now there's a team i get 'get behind,' coolness-wise. i have no information as to like, what kind of event this picture was taken at. probably some kind of 'prince's trust' something-or-other. they seem to have a 'prince's trust' shindig over there like, every other weekend. it looks like they're holding some kind of award? who knows. it could be a 'child's bank' for all i know. i've given it a close look, and it looks like a little... gallows or something? who knows. hey, at least they look happy. actually, judging by their clothes, the event doesn't look all that formal. anyway, i thought it was a cool picture. i wonder who else they hung out with that night? (cut to a smoke-filled back room. on the sofa, locked in a 'make-out three-way' are kate, mr. palin, and david byrne.) ...i'm going with david byrne on that one? sigh...

j is for 'the joke'

yes, some may disagree, but in my opinion, this bit is full-fledged comedy gold. its a skit included in the 1969 production entitled, 'john cleese on how to irritate people.' anyone that knows me well at all knows that this skit is my favorite from all the clips on that particular compilation. it showcases the talents of michael palin, graham chapman, gillian lind, and last but certainly not least, miss connie booth as beryl, the wife. with her social gathering going down in crickets and tumbleweeds, she decides to shake things up a bit. the result is, in MY opinion, hilarious.
