What? Who did you think I was talking about?

I get angry and the mere sight of the name Palin. It's a strange reflex.
Michael is still my favorite Palin
He may be my favourite Python actually... other Palins are mere garden variety snakes ;) (had to... just had to, I've been hanging out with Matt-man too much!)
You know who else was good for a quote? Winston Churchill. I think.
I also think that I drink like him in that I'm not out partying and just more really to function and keep a clear head.
*gigglesnort* Loved this post!
You know, every time I see the name Palin, I automatically think of Monty Python...this post included! It made me chuckle when I got to the end and saw that it was actually him :o)
Well, John Cleese and Eric Idle were pretty damn funny too.
You're especially adorable when you're being incredibly adorable.
I meant incredibly clever. I just can't get your adorable-ness out of my mind plus I've had half a bottle of wine
Oh my god, I know what the point of the post was, but I just wanted to say that I LOVE MICHAEL PALIN!!! One of my fave Monty Pythoners. :)
MP Rocks. And so do you. Cheers Knight!!
LoL!!! you are bad! how r u???
That was great. And the last quote--god I wish I could live in it until the election is over.
Great post! Thanks for the smiles!
LOL! This is the first time I ever heard that song.
Hey, thanks for trying to submit to the truth of water site. I don't know why my form isn't working but i put a note in there to email questions directly to questions@truthofwater.com in the meantime.
I've sent a help ticket into the people that run the server.
Thanks for telling me!! I owe you one.
I think that Michael Palin is going to make a damned fine Vice President. He's just gotta ditch the dress, heels and glasses.
Maybe John Cleese can be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I'd pay good money to see that...
Why is it that absurd fantasy sounds so much better than tragic possible reality?
I think pythons lumderjack song may be more fitting!...I love both Palins.
