Almost. I cannot remember the corrections off hand, but have a booklet

Oh, hell yes, I've got a couple of their tapes, and it's on them. Mind you,
I won't mind typing it in and posting it (although I get this strange feeling
that someone's posted it already) provided I don't get multitudes of flames
about "oh, this word isn't quite right" since I think it's been firmly
established that the Pythons usually didn't memorize their scripts, or even
if they did, they didn't always follow them . . .
Eh, what's that? Copyright problems? Oh, I seeee. "Look sarge, I think I'll
be seeing you quite a lot when all this is over." Oh, sorry, sorry. I didn't
mean to violate copyrights, I really didn't. Well, I don't know how I could
get it to you without having the copyright demons after me, so sorry.
By the way, speaking of the Bruces sketch, and other sketches that do this,
I've noticed that quite a lot of the MPFC sketches pick on (1) Ethnic
minorities (care to count how many times they made fun of the Irish and the
Scottish people?) and (2) homosexuals and homosexuality. I don't know,
maybe picking on Scottsmen was a national pastime in Britain in the 70's,
but I was just thinking, Graham Chapman was openly homosexual, so how and
why did he put up with it for so long? Any answers out there from others who
know more about the late Chapman? Ever wonder if in this AIDS-enlightened age
whether a new group of comedians, similar to MP, say, could get away with
that much bashing of homosexuals as part of their repetoire?
Oh, well, at least BIFF & company hasn't invaded this group yet . . .

I've loved the Python's since I was about 12. . I'm now around 19. . .
and one thing that I disliked (now people who really like something

naked women etc etc. . .I thought this was in bad taste and kinda

And Now For Something Completely Different (the movie) with the

to pull off the leaf. . .the British seem to be much more open with
blatant sexuality on TV than we Americans. . however in America
everything is shoot it up blow it up super violence Rambo style. . .
look at American cartoons -- they're great but a lot of them are
violent (like the Road Runner. . meep meep!) The British don't put
up with that sort of stuff. . .plus I don't like when Python picks
on minorities. . .I'm a White Anglo Saxon but I feel there's no
room for bigitry crap in America. . .I am a little offended by that
minority song. . .but like John Cleese said at Graham Chapman's
viewing 'he did love to offend'. . .and I think's its cool how Python
takes the intelligent view of religion. . in all aspects. . .especially
demonstrated in The Life of Brian. . .actually laughing at these
religious fools. . . enough of this gay bantor. . .

Actually, It could be that I'm rather sensitive to the whole issue of racism,
not being in the majority (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Male) or even in the
minority (Blacks and Hispanics and American Indians are the only ethnic groups
that count as minorities, if you check any government office or public docu-
ments).
I also found that the Irish are INCREDIBLELY proud of their heritage, and are
absolutely infuriated if you confuse them with the British peoples. (Case in
point: I was talking to a gentleman who I assumed to be English from his accent
and asked him about England. His answers were a bit stiffly put, and when I
mentioned an English comedian that I thought was very talented, he said to me,
"Such-and-so is an IRISHMAN, thank you!" Gads.)

Well, I don't remember, so I'll take your word for it. But, well, I've never
heard a black man call another black man a "nigger" or an Italian make fun
of "wops", so I just was wondering why was it that Chapman, a homosexual, made
fun of the characters in the sketches who were homosexuals.

If he wasn't, why should gay jokes offend him?

I grew up out side of Washington, D.C. and it is very common for the city
kids to call each other "nigger" or "niggy", but it could mean your life if
you are white and say it. It seems to be derogatory no matter who uses it
though. Homosexuals probably use "fag" or "queer" as derogatory words
directed at other homosexuals in much the same way. I think it has a
significantly greater impact if spoken by someone not of the particular
ethnic, racial, gender group it is associated with.

This isn't a flame, just a statement to clarify my position:
(1) I never said Champan or anyone else for that matter is and/or should be
uncomfortable about being homosexual. I have several male homosexual
friends who are not ashamed of their preferences and who are good guys
overall.
(2) I never said that "gay jokes" SHOULD offend Chapman. It's just that based
on my experience, I don't like jokes about Indians and my homosexual
friends get offended by "gay jokes".
Which leads me to believe that Chapman was offended by the jokes, so it doesn't
make sense that he participated in all those skits (sorry, I can't imagine
anyone being such a "good sport" for so long, taking jokes like that from his
friends). Anyone out there that's read "A Liar's Autobiography" to see whta
CHAPMAN has to say on this?

An alternative view is that jokes about one's self and own firmly
held beliefs can indeed be very funny, especially to the cognoscenti.
There are people (I am one) whose sense of humour is such that
they find jokes about their race, nationality, religious beliefs, etc
funny - assuming the jokes are funny at all. Part of this stems from
being able to look on and see the ridiculous side of a belief, say
in religion or nationality.
You are right that it wouldn't have made sense for Chapman to have
performed in (and written many of) the skits if he had been offended
by them - so perhaps we should be lead to believe that he was not
offended or that he found them funny.

Hmm, okay, so I'm not that observant. After reading this article, my husband,
who's Italian, says that his family refered to each other as "wops" as well,
especially when one of them had asked something Italian-related ("Hey, mom,
what are tortellini?" "Oh, go ask your father, he's a wop."). Perhaps it has
ceased to be an insulting term. Sorry for stirring up all the trouble, but
last year around here the University of Delaware's president, Russell Jones,
got fired after he made a statement in front of the Coaliiton for Black Rights
(forgive me if I got the name slightly wrong. you get the idea) that went
something like "I didn't learn to hate blaks when I was young, I learned to
hate Polacks." He had also said something to the effect previously in the
year to students in the programs FAME (Forum to Advance Minorities in
Engineering) and RISE (Resources in Successful Engineering, also geared for
minorities, especially blacks) and called them "Underprivilledged minorities."
Personally, I found that rather offensive since I was in FAME and also do not
put up with even thinly veiled racism. . . .

What sort of a deadshit wanker are you?
What sort of deadass moron are YOU? Don't you care about artists'
rights? Don't you care about the law? What do you care about? Being

show how incredibly clever you are? Get a clue.

So tell us exactly what you're doing reading this group? If you're
going to have a cow if someone posts some quotes, then why read?
Hint: the letter "u" may come in handy if you're really as disgusted
as you say you are.
