"I always wanted to be a lumberjack, swinging from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The giant redwood. The larch. The great Scottish pine. With my best girlie by my side, we'd sing sing sing.
I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok I sleep all night and I work all day I cut down trees I eat my lunch I go to the lavat'ry on Wednesdays I go shoppin and have buttered scones for tea I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok I sleep all night and I work all day I cut down trees I skip and jump I like to press wild flowers I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok I sleep all night and I work all day I cut down trees I wear suspenders and a bra I wish I were a girlie just like me dear mama"
That's from memory so it isn't perfect. I used to sing it all the time, but everyone just thought I was doing it to be stupid. They never realized there was a reason I sang it a lot.
Centurian: What does that say? *points with gladius* Brian: It says 'Romans go home!' Centurian: No it doesn't! It says 'Out Romans they go the house!'
Has anyone here seen Spamalot? I saw it on Broadway during the summer. Fantastic show. A show that has reminded me of just how frightening it is to be lost in a dark and very expensive forest.
*challenges Angelbelle to a duel for daring to insult her husband, Tim Curry*
I hate to break it to you, but Tim Curry came out of the closet several years ago after 30 years of denying any connection to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I saw the show on Broadway my senior year in highschool we went to NYC, and to a show on broadway... all the musicians (vocal and instumental) vote on which show to go see, and I'm proud to say that all my lovly little trumpeteer's and myself as well as 90% of the rest of the marching band won the vote for spamalot...

Shalgrith: I am maybe sort of kidding about Tim Curry being my husband (maybe). All the same, I've never seen anything about him officially coming out as gay (though I could be wrong. Point me to something if you've got a definitive source.)
Also, I don't believe he ever denied connections to RHPS. Wasn't thrilled that he got typecasted that way, but he's talked about it many times over the years.
'Terry Gilliam, in an audio interview,[15] describes it as "Python-lite". Terry Jones - who co-directed the original film with Gilliam - expressed his opinions forthrightly in May 2005: "Spamalot is utterly pointless. It's full of airRegurgitating Python is not high on my list of priorities."'
Someone else:
In Slate (magazine), Sam Anderson wrote, "Python was formed in reaction to exactly the kind of lazy comedy represented by Spamalot what Michael Palin once described as the 'easy, catch-phrase reaction' the members had all been forced to pander in their previous writing jobs... Spamalot is the gaudy climax of a long, unfunny tradition of post-Python exploitation books, actions figures, video games that treats the old material as a series of slogans to be referenced without doing any of the work that made the lines so original in the first place."
I have to agree Spamalot seems more like a rip off of Monty Python.
Okay, okay, I'll give you that Spamalot did have a lot of lines or scenes form the movie verbatim. I hated those bits. But the bits that were new where genuinely worth it, in my opinion. Some of the songs, especially, where really clever.
