Terry Jones has slipped his mortal moorings

[Stick]

‘He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy. Now go away’.

The Monty Python comic genius and director has passed away today aged 77.

By way of a tribute, what’s your favourite Terry Jones / Monty Python quote?

While he was not directly involved with this sketch, my tribute (slightly modified for the occasion):

'E's passed on! This Python is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PYTHON!!



As funny as he was, I think he played the straight-man better than any of the rest of the group.

That movie is full of great quotes from beginning to end.

The lumberjack skit is great as well. For some reason that catchy tune is impossible to get out of your head.

Sad news indeed.

My hovercraft is full of eels.

His books and tv series on history are excellent too. Medieval lives, book or series, are a great starting point.

A newt?
Yes, but I got better.

Great stuff. Sad to see him go, but he left some great works in his wake.
