Silly Olympiads

Only the Monty Python guys could invent that, obviously:

"The 27th Silly Olympiad, an event held traditionally every 3.7 years, which this year has brought together competitors from over 4 million different countries:
- 100 yards for people with no sense of direction
- 1500 meters for the deaf
- 200 meters freestyle for non-swimmers
- Marathon for incontinents
- High jump
- 3000 meter steeplechase for people who think they're chickens"

For those of you who would miss this kind of course:

Greece v Germany

Missing the Euro 2008 football compatition? Coming directly from Monty Python Live at Hollywood Ball here's the long-awaited football match opposing Greek and German philosophers!!!



"Beckenbauer is a bit of a surprise there…"

"Nietsche has just been booked for arguing with the referee."

And now for something completely absurd…

Bicycle Repairman! (From Monty Python's Flying Circus, of course.)

Black Knight: Lego version

I promised you several days ago to show you more stop animation movies made with Lego so as to re-enact scenes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Today, enjoy the Black Knight scene (I show you first the original version):





"None shall pass!"

"Now stand aside, worthy adversory."
"It's but a scratch!"
"A scratch?!? You arm's off!"

"It's just a flesh wound!"


P.S. Today, Professor Vandelanotte, referring to our History of Linguistics exam, said: "If you have problems, wave at my general direction." This was clearly a hint to John Cleese's sayings in the same movie, in the French Taunter scene: "I fart in your general direction". As Mr Romero pointed out: "I think nobody's got it." Then he looked at me (I was smiling), saying: "Yeah, of course…" I think Waldorf would have liked it, had he been there.
