keep up the good work,, love, mom

Visiting John Cleese's website convinced me to skip your movie. I've voted with my feet.

Yikes, am foist. John Cleese! Fawlty Towers - one of the best. Would love to hear one of their (not our) conversations!
Posted by: PETER | October 14, 2004 at 04:16 PM
I have to wonder about Joe voting with his FEET, though. By chance, is Joe a Florida voter?
Posted by: rhealist | October 14, 2004 at 04:21 PM
I love the way John Cleese got around the fact that some look-alike/impersonator took www.johncleese.com from him. Apparently instead of suing the guy for the domain name and raising all kinds of legal heck, he just named his site www.thejohncleese.com.
Yes, he is THE one and only, inimitable John Cleese. Classy!
Posted by: Corn | October 14, 2004 at 04:36 PM
I have a serious question. We all know that THE John Cleese is a very tall individual, especially for someone from the UK, where they don't put HEC (Height Enhancing Chemicals, such as Flouride) in the water supply.
We also know that Dave has never consumed any HEC, as he only drinks beer.
Therefore, Dave should be much shorter than John (who is exceptionally tall), yet somehow...this picture makes them appear to be of very similar height.
My question, then, is...
Is Dave standing on a box of Water Enhancing Flouride Pellets (Consumer Grade), or is John bending at the knees...similar to the way a dead parrot might?

the only thing i can figure out is joe h was either not born during monty python OR .. well... some folks just don't get it
Posted by: jeffrey | October 14, 2004 at 04:45 PM
joe: you voted 3 times with your feet. does that mean you have 3 feet?
inquiring minds want to know.
Posted by: sj | October 14, 2004 at 04:46 PM
Joe voted and posted with his feet, all three of them.
I love John Cleese. He is the second reason I will go to see the movie. That is a huge compliment, Dave, becasue the last movie that I paid nearly ten bucks to see was LOTR, Return of the King.

BASIL!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, so many times that face has filled my TV.
Posted by: crash | October 14, 2004 at 05:26 PM
Apparently Joe doesn't have a sense of humor. Having seen all the debates (pity me, please), I thought that joke on www.thejohncleese.com was dead on.
Posted by: Monsoon | October 14, 2004 at 05:50 PM
two legends in the same photo.. could life get better? oh yes.. my computer could work properly .. dang it .. at least i can get in here
Posted by: Kat | October 14, 2004 at 05:52 PM
1. I did not realize that Cleese was that old (shows my age, eh.)
2. Why do you look like a happy Dracula?

That IS Dave. Look at the shirt.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | October 14, 2004 at 07:39 PM
So, I log on to the blog, and what fills my monitor, but a photo of Dave and John Cleese looking for all the world like a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary at Disney World. John is giving the camera such a coy look.
Posted by: slyeyes | October 14, 2004 at 07:45 PM
So Dave, how long do you plan on remaining welded at the head and shoulder to Mr. Cleese?
Posted by: Dan the Goose | October 14, 2004 at 08:03 PM
The happy couple...and that same shirt. It's like the third wheel.

Such an adorable couple!
Posted by: MeganBNL | October 14, 2004 at 08:08 PM
Dave...what's this "coming soon" %#@& on your movie trailer link to the "official movie website"? We want a trailer now or we're voting with our feet

John Cleese is the rarely liked comedian combination of Elderly Man and Man With A Very English Accent.
Plus his name is John.

Ooooooh it's John Cleese! Now I definitely want to see the movie (not that I didn't want to before).
:( But they probably won't bring it here, the way I know it.

But I just couldn't resist, after all, if I can't contribute when the subject is monty python & john cleese than what good am I? Throw dave into the mix and you've got a humor-lover's paradise.
Does anybody else remember the episode of fawlty towers with the Germans? I'm not sure I've ever laughed at anything so hard in my life.

Yay! I love John Cleese.
That is all I have to add at this time. Thank you for coming. There are refreshments in the back and I will stick around to answer any questions you may have and to sign autographs.
Good Night.

why is it that if you say something anti-democrat, people tend to stick around and argue, you know, trying to make an actual point, or convince people of the rightness of their point of view and stuff....but if you say anything anti-republican, they .... leave?
Posted by: judi | October 15, 2004 at 04:51 AM
because, judi, republicans know that one cannot carry on a rational, logical discussion with a liberal, or democrat (redundant, I know).
Posted by: president bush | October 15, 2004 at 05:17 AM
Dave Barry has been to purt-near (trans. = "almost") every country on Earth. He has spoken to many of the most powerful and influential human-type people alive. He has set things on fire and gotten paid for it. He has done purt-near (that's fun to say) everything a person could want to do.
But John Cleese has kissed Lucy Liu.
That's power.
Posted by: Federal Duck | October 15, 2004 at 05:22 AM
Okay, now I'm all green with envy and stuff.
Now I must go check out John Cleese's web page and see if I might find some way to send him lacivious email ...
Posted by: cherie priest | October 15, 2004 at 05:43 AM
Why did Joe voted with his feet, he has no hands?
I don't think I could vote with my feet, because first they are feet, and second I can't use them like hands, but I know monkeys can, so maybe Joe is a monkey, or a Bigfoot!
Posted by: Rockchild | October 15, 2004 at 06:03 AM
Welcome, Trankster!
Judi ... A little Democrat humor (at the expense of Republicans)
This little old lady calls 911. When the operator answers she yells, "Help, send the police to my house right away! There's a damn Democrat on my front porch and he's playing with himself."
"What?" the operator exclaimed. "I said there is a damn Democrat on my front porch playing with himself and he's weird; I don't know him and I'm afraid! Please send the police!" the little old lady repeated.
"Well, now, how do you know he's a Democrat?"
"Because, you damn fool, if it was a Republican, he'd be screwing somebody!"
Thank you ... I'll be here all week.

And now for something completely different....
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100
degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met but, somehow, now it's my fault."

Of course it's his fault. He's a man. It's always the mans fault.

Odd that a photo of Dave with John Cleese appears so soon after somone mentioned Spam in another thread. Yay! =D
Posted by: OverClerked | October 15, 2004 at 10:09 AM
Good one, Marvin.
I'm a democrat to my core, but when something is funny, it's funny ... see below:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with killing just me, and not my family? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint-and-weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

Hey, I'm a Canadian! Here's a Canadian limerick:
I was riding a moose on the Shield
And in stupidity did not yield
Some mounties went by
And a herd of black flies
Ate me and moose there in the field.
Also, it must be Friday afternoon. Yes, I realize that my previous post contained "haikus", not "limericks".
So lash me with a wet noodle.

My mother finally told me after all of these years just before she passed away for the last time. Yes, yes, I was not her only first child from her first litter. I had a twin brother that was born years later because the doctors didn't know that there was another one in the woo-mub. I searched the world over looking for my twin younger brother! Wal-ah! A picture appeared in the Rag! Could that be, yes, could that be my twin? The hair was the same, (dish water blond), the eyes were the same, (watery blue), the bass lips were the same, the didamus, (front teeth), was the same, and yes, yes, the blue shirt was the same. (Our "familly colors") We are even the same height!! Can you beat that! Dang! I never got to meet John Cleese.
