Monty Python turns 40 this week

Shamelessly stole that blog post title from Andrew Sullivan. I’m ok with it. Because this video rocks:

It’s not “Friday Monty”… but it is pseudo-Monty.

Hmm… bad news. I’ve missed the last two. But I’m bringing it back to life, because Friday Monty’s not dead yet… its feeling much better. (It’s just late).

Looking for anacondas or titanoboa?

Then this is your post. But feel free to stick around for a while: you might like what you see. I do some posts onĀ humor, politics, culture, Monty Python, science, ReTweets, potentially embarrassing tidbits, and some sports… let me know what you’d like to see more of.

You can also learn more about me and the site (and it’s ramblings) by clicking the links in the upper right.

For those of you that are wondering about this post’s prominent presence on the front page: turns out a not insignificant portion of my traffic is due to the titanoboa post, and I’d like to keep them around to increase the amount of conversation around here.

Those of you showing up because of that post: I’d love for you to stick around and chat a while.

Sorry… belated. Don’t worry… it’s ok… I’m drunk.

Happy 4th!

Because I conducted eight interviews this week:

I think my applicant pool would have been even better if I’d done interviews this way.

Thought of this when I was commenting on my ReTweet of Sullivan’s “Jesus Wept” post:

“NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!”
