Thought maybe people could list there favorite lines from Monty Pythons. I know a few of us are fans so....

What is your favorite line or film or scene?

One of my favs....

...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... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, 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 shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither 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.

I know Garnate loves MP's as her tag line is a classic "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me//"

So what's your fav?

The Philosopher's Drinking Song

The Lumberjack Song

Every Sperm is Sacred!

And then the sketches- the argument clinic, Spam, Spanish Inquisition, the dead parrot, the cheese shop!

I'm very jealous! That would be an absolute blast! I haven't seen too much MP that I haven't liked! The dry humour, the music, the characters- what's not to love?

You're a good man to pass on the tradition! I saw Holy Grail in high school, and I was so not interested in watching it- by the time the opening credits started running with the llama jokes, I was hooked!

The music was awesome, and visually it was a feast for the eye.

"It's not pining, it's passed on! This parrot has ceased to be! It has...expired! This parrot has gone to meet its maker! Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If it weren't nailed to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! IT...IS...AN....EX...PARROT!!!"

John Cleese has the most amazing delivery...
