September 15, 2008

Spouse and I went to Vermont.

(By the way, it was just the two of us. "Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Know what I mean?" Flying Circus (Well... other than the cousin who was to hitch himself to a Vermontian... and the cousin's sisters and all their kids... I guess they're also cousins and kids of cousins... and the mother of the cousins was there... I guess that makes her the aunt... and Spouse's Mom and Dad came too... that would make them the in-laws... we musn't forget the in-laws.... and the 100 or so other people there to witness the hitching... but the Yahoos.... the Yahoos were at home... so other than that it was just the two of us.)

"We are the knights who say 'NI'!"

"We are no longer the knights who say 'NI'. We are now the knights who say 'ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang - zoom- boing!'"

" This morning, shortly after 11 o'clock, comedy struck this little house in Dibbley road. Sudden, violent comedy."

The Flying Circus

"Tis but a scratch."

The Holy Grail
