    The entirety of Holy Grail, for starters. My high school history teacher said that it was one of the most realistic depictions of life in the Middle Ages ever put on film.

    After that…

    “What have the Romans ever done for us?”

    “The roads!”

    “Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don’t they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads–”

    …and…

    “Oh, we used to dream of livin’ in a corridor! Would ha’ been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House? Huh.”

    Immanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable

    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table

    David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel

    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

    There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya 'bout the raising of the wrist Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

    John Stuart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

    Plato, they say, could stick it away Half a crate of whiskey every day

    Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle Hobbes was fond of his dram

    And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart “I drink, therefore I am.”

    Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed

    Holy hand grenade

    Biggus Dickus, I remember my dad cracking up over it the first time I saw Life of Brian (not his first time, obviously). And now, more than 15 years later we’re still in tears when just mentioning the name or watching the scene for the x’th time

    edit: Life of Brian, not Holy Grail… sleep induced brain didn’t work that well anymore

    A couple of lines from the The Man Who Says Words in the Wrong Order sketch.

    “Sometimes at the end of a sentence I’ll come out with the wrong fusebox. And the thing about saying the wrong word is a] I don’t notice it, and b] sometimes orange water given bucket of plaster.”

    TheWrongFusebox was my reddit account for… well over a decade.

    Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.
