2) Complete this quote -

"It's not pining, it's passed on. This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace..."

newb 06-30-2008 06:31 PM

It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

fortunato 06-30-2008 06:33 PM

bummer........

So with this round we get Fortunato gaining 2 points while New and Cactus each get one. This means that the Python Round scores are as such.

Newb - 2
Fortunato - 3
Missmassacre -1
Cactus - 1

Here comes your next question.

Despare 06-30-2008 06:51 PM

Q: Trey Parker and Matt Stone tried to lure Terry Gilliam into working for them. How?

newb 06-30-2008 06:52 PM

Hence "work for them" but what did they do to entice (coerce) him to work for them?

fortunato 06-30-2008 06:55 PM

they kidnapped his mother to take dna to make little terry gilliams that would work for them.

You are correct sir.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone paid an affectionate tribute to the Monty Python team by making a special short animation parody which was shown as part of Python Night. Immediately after this was shown, the BBC aired a video of Parker and Stone holding Terry Gilliam’s mother, Beatrice, hostage, rope-bound to a chair. The duo demanded that Gilliam direct an episode of South Park.

A much more concise answer, but I'm afraid Fortunato's was enough to take the point. Sorry.

Way to go, J!
