Ranking 5 best Python skits 1. The Upper Class Twit of the Year, probably John Cleese's greatest work not known as Basil Fawlty. The play-by-play was incredible writing. "And Oliver has run himself over, (Oliver lying in front of car) what a great twit!" 2. Salad Days, Directed by Sam Peckinpah...the visual blood scenes that everyone copies years later..flat out I'm dying anytime I watch it on YouTube. 3. The Argument Sketch, A: SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE MAKES ME PUKE! YOU VACUOUS TOFFEE-NOSED MALODOROUS PERVERT!!! M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!! A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse! 4. The 4 Yorkshiremen's Sketch, MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph." I saw this live at the Cali Hollywood Bowl as a 14-year-old. 5. The Dirty Fork...Cleese as the cook "You bastards! You vicious, heartless bastards! Look what you've done to him! He's worked his fingers to the bone to make this place what it is, and you come in with your petty feeble quibbling and you grind him into the dirt, this fine, honorable Man, whose boots you are not worthy to kiss. Oh... it makes me mad... mad! (slams cleaver into the table) I saw Chapman many, many years ago after he got sober. No show, no skits or anything. Just him on stage with a microphone and they'd play some of the best of his work and he'd talk about it, but mostly he took questions and told atories of the top of his head. Probably just as funny as most standups could dream of being. Great story about being in a hotel late at night with Keith Moon and only having six bottles if lager in the fridge. Moon walked out the window 20 stories up, came back ten minutes later with a large bottle of beefeater.

So funny, and they did 2 skits that had never been done on Python, but were part of the group they were part of when Marty Feldman was one of their mates.

I think the story goes that George Harrison all but funded Life of Brian...I guess they had no funding and Harrison was at a party with the Pythons and was told the script. The stories are great. Cleese and Fawlty Towers--flat out and still to me the funniest sitcom in TV history.

Cleese and Fawlty Towers--flat out and still to me the funniest sitcom in TV history. The way I heard the story was that they went and asked Harrison if he could help (maybe after the party thing, maybe they sent him the script) and he told his accountant he wanted to do it. Despite being a Beatle and despite the budget being just ("just") $4M, Harrison had to mortgage his house to put up the money.

Don't forget to select your non keepers

Going to do the Butchy thing and do public call outs:
Pletch, Book, Schlichy & Captain Covid: I see you selected keepers, so make sure that is correct and dump the rest of your roster.
Kelv, you need to select your keepers and drop the rest. If you don't do this I'll just use the projections, player rank or the committee to make your selections for you.

It's a rule, but an unnecessary one since I asked all to elect their keepers and drop everyone else by today. So we are not scrambling at the last minute if somebody didn't do what they should have before the draft.

So, I think I’m kosher as of yesterday.
I guess the one hour thing is when the system takes the keepers out of the draft que? It would be nice to be able to see now who is actually available. But I don’t think that’s possible, is it?

But I don’t think that’s possible, is it? It is. Just go to add player and it will show everyone available. I think everyone has dropped all but keepers as of now.

I offered you a deal, check it out. All transactions needed to be finalized by the 28th.. Please cancel this offer.. Not sure what was offered but there is potential of fucking up the draft if changes are made at this point.
