The Story: It's all funny, really...even the skewed credits in Nørsk. But my favorite part of " Monty Python and the Holy Grail " comes deep in that very episodic and brutally low budget film (partially financed by the bands Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd ) with a three episode strip that exemplifies what is best in the comedy troupe's methods of madness; we'll be exploring these over...
So, I've got my minimum (and a little change) words for NaNoWriMo done, and thankfully, I've been able to recover from a couple of off days towards the end of last week (it's sooo much easier to just churn out the minimum than to recover from a hole like I put myself into last year). So now it's time to turn to keeping my streak going for NaBloPoMo--or just pride. For reasons I can't comprehend, I...
For the last few months numerous stories have led us to believe that racing - IndyCar or otherwise - was likely to never again appear at the oldest speedway in the country. That too much corruption, mishandling, or plain old bad finances had done in the famed and historic Milwaukee Mile. That the track was going the way of an old, insignificant character in a Monty Python film. The Dead Body That Claims...
Even in 2009, Devo inspire mad, uh, devotion. The merch booth was mobbed; tons of folks bought the trademark red flowerpot hats, multiple designs of T-shirts, vinyl copies of Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo and Freedom of Choice , etc. These Akron, Ohio dance-rock icons also draw a pretty nerdy crowd. Crocodile booker Eli Anderson noticed a similarity between D&D aficionados and Devo fans, and...
Let the justice system of Brooklyn tremble! For I have been selected for a jury case. Oh yes, despite the fake nose and glasses, despite randomly shouting out "P!nk!" throughout the proceedings, despite bouncing in my chair and humming loudly whenever anyone else was talking, and despite my demands that the jury room contain a person gym and a hot tub, I was picked to serve on a case that...
Few Japanese want to pay $60 per month to use a phone that can't shoot video, receive TV signals or text-message photos. "The pricing has been completely out of whack with market reality," one expert on the Japanese cell-phone market tells Wired News. "I think they [Apple and its partners overseas] are in the process of adjusting to local conditions." high-minded Show phonetics...
ITU (the organization formerly known as CCITT) is having a bit of a relevance problem these days: its flagship technological achievements, including X.25, ISDN, ATM and SDH are dead or headed toward oblivion … and a former pariah, a group of geeks, is stealing the show and rolling out the Internet. No wonder their bureaucrats are having a hard time figuring out how to justify their existence....
From the point of view of a casual player with too short an attention span to play all the way through games, and applies to most of the below. 1. Guitar Hero III The series is good for musicianship, though who knows if it'll be good for music in the long run? Song choices have been pretty lame compared to Rock Band, and anything that prolongs the prog revival is a mixed blessing. What these games...
"Dying is easy; comedy is hard." It's a tired saying, but it's true. It’s hard to think of more than three artists whose comedy albums have been memorable - Steve Martin, Cheech & Chong, and Monty Python. Comedy albums are hard. Granted, Kathy Griffin already has us on her side. She has what she calls the Don Rickles effect, the ability to insult people and still be lovable. She...
By Noah Redfield Everyone knows about “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” as Heath Ledger’s last film, but for my money, it’s the new Terry Gilliam. The former Monty Python animator has been leaving his unique mark on cinema for over 30 years with his breathtaking visuals and madcap sense of humor no matter how many obstacles he has to face along the way. In this regard,...

As I walked into church I was greeted enthusiastically by my ever so slightly sarcastic daughter. "May I take your ticket, sir?" The church was already filling up, and was full of the warm red glow that we get with all the overhead radiant fires on. I must be careful where I sit, or my head will be grilled. Forced to sit in the back half because the front was already full, I chose a centre...
