I am so glad Monty Python is still in the lexicon!

I knew right off: Monty Python. Thanks for the memory jolt

“Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government…”

The last 3+ years have made me question that assertion……

We should give it a try. Can't be any worse than what we've got. BTW, does the sword light up? Way more fun if it does!

It'd be cooler if it did...

Theoretically, our ancestors (at least those of us who came from the British Isles) already did…. at least in legend.

The Arthur legend was one of the original foundation stories of the British monarchy.

I dunno about you, but I felt repressed when they tried to make me wear those filth pouches

Not only is it a basis, it is far superior to what we have now.

I go away on trip for just one day and look what trouble and mischief you all have all gotten into.

I fart in your general direction, you silly english kanigits!

It really is a miracle. Macron made Le Pen look like a sensible woman.

Expand full comment

she's not sensible?

Expand full comment

Oh. She's French. Sorry.

"What type of man are you?"

"I'm french! Why do you think I have this outrageous accent you silly king!"

Thank you! I had that in mind when I wrote it.

A chacun son gout.

Expand full comment

Chacun à son goût. Each one has his taste. The judges are iffy on Chacun a son goût, each one to his taste, which is not idiomatic. But you have violated a word order tradition and will be sent to la Légion Étrangère if you keep at it.

Oh no! To the realm of dark sweaty adventurers who couldn't make good at home!

ikr? The grande peut être too

I'm done with those perhapsings and just want to enjoy what I managed to get.

Expand full comment

Sure sure, but I don't know her, so I dont' know if she is to my taste or not. I was clumsily asking for little more about her that would make you think she lacks sense. Trying to learn, not trying to argue.

"not trying to argue"

Whole different skit.

Hah!

The interwebs are often our friends.

Certainly when liberalism has a mental breakdown and begins hurling itself off cliffs, people with entirely the opposite views may have some sensible positions. That's the annoying thing about life. Nothing is entirely good or entirely bad.

And she's older now and France is currently largely deranged so...

"Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

ARTHUR: Be quiet!

"Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

ARTHUR: Shut up!

"I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!"

Beat me to the “moistened bint” line. What brilliance that scene was.

I can guarantee that the woke patrol has never, ever, invoked and gleefully recounted the Holy Grail, or any Monty for that matter. Humorless and miserable they are. In fact some Python therapy is just what they need. And no, Trump did not turn you into a newt.
