Spamalot

SPAMALOT! It's coming to Portland !
August 21st - August 26th

Jim and I will see it on the 23rd. We've had season tickets with Brodaway Across America for a couple of years now and I tell you it is money well spent. (Hope we can continue for many more years)
We've enjoyed "Mama Mia", (our favorite so far), "Peter Pan", (with Kathy Rigby, it kicked ass!), "Lion King", (amazing!), "Sweet Charity", (with Molly Ringwold, (HORRIBLE!, the only one we hated) , "Hairspray", (wonderful!), "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", (a really nice surprise, and absolutely hysterical!), "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", (a genuine giggle), to name a few.

Why do I taunt you with this? I just read Kara's latest blog, (Subject: Her defective "O", ((snort, snicker)) and her sister responded with this FABULOUS bit from Mony Python's Holy Grail.

It doth me well, good sirs, I shall enjoyeth this goodly farce in thy absence...

BROTHER: And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying,'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu--
MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.
BROTHER: And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'
Amen.

The second pic is from the musical number titled, "He's not dead yet!" Just thought you'd like to know, now you may go about your regular routine...

that's hilarious...my sister just put that quote in my comments for something totally unrelated. that (next to Tim) is our favorite quote.

i'm not sure about this show yet. i might give it a whirl, but if it sucks, i'm throwing something.

My favorite part of that is "Five is right out".
I need to see that movie again, and soon. Thanks for the silliness.

The Mac's own a copy, you may "rent" it any ol' time!

Sarah said...

Um, yeah. Can you hold that movie for me until I can come in to pick it up? That would be great. Thanks. :)
