Merlin Mann

I revere "Argument Clinic" and "Cheese Shop" and "Ministry of Silly Walks" and "Spanish Inquisition."

But, the Monty Python sketch that permanently broke my brain and rewrote my whole concept of "funny" was this one.

It involves Sir Bigglés dictating a letter to a courtesan.

Or not. It's hard to tell at points.

Although, this one also fucked up me and two of my friends super bad ca. 1984.

In-Joke Catchphrase: "Antelope. Gorn."

Good, woody words.

@hotdogsladies Ironically, my wife and I lean pretty heavily on “Later, dear.” for our In-Joke Catchphrase from that one.

@hotdogsladies true fact: Biggles is an actual name in the UK. I had a Biggles in the code club for which I volunteered.
