Am I just crazy, or was there an episode of Flying Circus where Spiny
Norman was tracking Dinsdale through the whole thing? Think this was in
the original Piranha Brothers sketch, I went out and rented the first
Videocassette, only to find that Norman only appears in the closing
credits.

Geez! It's the holidays. I'm already depressed enough. MUST we have all
this talk about Brazil? I dunno, somehow I can't see a man being tortured
to the point where he loses all contact with reality as a happy ending...

I seem to recall an episode where Spiny Norman made a few appearances outside of
the Piranha Brothers sketch. My favorite running cartoon gag, though, was Kevin
and Maurice in the "Bicycling Tour" (full half-hour or so) sketch. Not to be
outdone, of course, by the hilarious "Brian Islam and Brucie." I roll on the
floor (literally) with laughter every time I see it.

Ahhhh, but a quick glance at the reality he escaped is enough for me to conclude
it was a happy ending.
