And now for something completely different ...

This is one of those moments where something completely unexpected pops into my head, and I can't get past it and move on to something else without finding it, reading it through, getting the giggle out of it that made me remember it in the first place, and then recording it somewhere so that i don't have to hunt for it again. Most often, this sort of thing happens to me with movie quotes, but in this case, its' a TV show quote. Specifically, it's from Monty Python's Flying Circus, Episode 37 (I had to look that up) and it's not even one of the more popular sketches, either. This is from a skit about a weekly game show called "Prejudice"

(Michael Palin is the cheeky host) "Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever entries. Mrs Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... (applause starts vigorously, but he holds his hands up for silence) ... and a Mr St John of Huntingdon said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory than Belgians. (cheers and applause; a girl in showgirl costume comes on and holds up placards through next bit) But in the end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts (placard 'The Sprouts'), sent in by Mrs Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number two..... the Phlegms (placard) ... from Mrs Childmolester of Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in Lancashire... Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards. (placard; roar of applause)"

And here's the skit in its entirety, just for the hell of it:



That's all. Now back to your regulary programmed afternoon.
