i've been a monty python fan since i was 13. even at that young age, i appreciated the humor in people hitting each other with fish and dropping 16 ton weights on unsuspecting britons. when i got a bit older, i saw the hilarity of a cross-dressing lumberjack and a knight who doesn't ride a horse but rather has his mignon make the sound with coconuts. now, i watch monty python and see sharp, caustic wit and pointed satire. god, middle class values, european elitism, celebrity culture, sex, all fell victim to python's wit. python, not to be overly sappy, has helped me a lot in realizing that all the trivial things will get you if you don't watch out. life is about being happy, making others laugh, and putting food in your stomach. if you are happy with what you do and how you live, everything else is just gravy.
if ever life gets you down, listen to 'always look on the bright side of life,' from the end of "Life of Brian." if those guys can be happy while being crucified, you've got not right to grumble.
