Somehow, the juxtaposition of Silly Walks and Koyaanisqatsi really hurts my head...

Wow, somebody else who knows Koyaanisqatsi.... but, yeah, Koyaanisqatsi is mind-twisting enough, nevermind Monty.... "Three, sir!"

Ah, fond memories of sneaking out of bed and watching MP at midnight on PBS.

Mmm. Muppets, followed by a quick change to Monty Python at the age of 5. Memorizing Monty Python and the Holy Grail before it was a gamer cult classic.

Wonderful.

When my mom thinks that I've pushed the alternative/weird/strange envelope too far, especially if it involves my, er, 'unusual' sense of humour, I remind her that she and dad let me watch Monty Python's Flying Circus at a young and tender age.

Perhaps, one of the few multi-generational cultural touchstones out there.
