They return – it would appear – to a time where no one is the messiah but there is no shortage of naughty boys.

Fifty years after the first broadcast of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, the men who revolutionised comedy have revealed details of events to mark their anniversary in what they dubbed “an increasingly Pythonesque world”.

“Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was,” the surviving five Pythons added in a statement that also revealed plans by BBC Radio 4 to air new radio specials.

How to Become TripAdvisor’s #1 Fake Restaurant

J’aime la scène quand ils se mettent à préparer des plats pour de vrai. C’est tellement anglais. Du Monty Python devenu réalité.

The Shed at Dulwich was the number one rated restaurant in London, with foodies, celebrities and bloggers trying to get a table. The main obstacle for them, however, was that it didn’t exist. Over the course of 8 months VICE’s Oobah Butler used an assault of fake reviews to get his ’restaurant’ to the hallowed top spot on TripAdvisor. With his phone perpetually ringing, PR agencies begging to represent it and TV crews pitching shows, Oobah decided he had no choice but to open its doors for one night only. Here is Oobah’s journey into a false reality that captured the world’s attention.

Un épisode Monty Python spécialement sélectionné pour les habitants de Calais

Ron Obvious (Monty Python)
▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Obvious_(Monty_Python)

Ron Obvious is a Monty Python character played by Terry Jones, appearing in a sketch in episode 10, ’Untitled’, of the first series. In the sketch, the extremely naïve Ron Obvious, encouraged by his unscrupulous manager Luigi Vercotti (Michael Palin), undertakes several impossible tasks for publicity, in this order:

Jumping the English Channel: In the opening scene, Ron Obvious from Neepsend is shown running along the seashore in a track and field uniform. The announcer (John Cleese) says that Obvious hopes to become the first man to jump the Channel, and will be landing in the center of Calais itself. The scene momentarily cuts away to a group of Frenchmen standing under a sign that reads “Fin de Cross Channel Jump” as traditional accordion music plays in the background. When asked how he plans to jump 26 miles (since Obvious’s longest jump is almost twelve feet (unofficially)), he says that “You see if you’re five miles out over the English Channel, with nothing but sea underneath you, there is a very great impetus to stay in the air.” Obvious has his passport checked by a customs officer, and carrying a 56-pound bag full of bricks that is provided by the Chippenham Brick Company, the event’s sponsor, he sprints toward the sea and jumps, splashing into the water only a few feet from shore.

Eating Chichester Cathedral: As the announcer mentions that Obvious is about to attempt to become the first man to eat an entire Anglican Cathedral, Obvious is shown brushing his teeth, putting on a bib and flexing his jaws, before biting into the corner of an old stone building and breaking his jaw.

Tunnelling to Java: Vercotti shows a map illustrating the route Obvious will use while digging his way from Godalming to Java, which should make Obvious a household name overnight. When the announcer asks him where Obvious is, after a couple of evasive answers Vercotti yells, “Ron, how far have you got?” Obvious sticks his head out of a very shallow hole and replies, “Oh, about two foot six,” and inquires if there is a spade he can use.
Splitting a railway carriage with his nose: Vercotti and the announcer walk along a railroad track discussing Obvious’ next endeavour, and allegations that Vercotti is exploiting him. The sound of an approaching train is heard, followed by a loud scream.

Running to Mercury: Vercotti explains that once Obvious gets out of Earth’s atmosphere and is in orbit, he should be able to run straight to Mercury. Obvious, wrapped in head-to-toe bandages from his previous exploits, is shown jumping off a wooden ramp with a crutch under his left arm. The frame freezes in mid-jump, and another loud scream is heard.

Most time being Underground (Deceased): The next scene shows Ron Obvious’ tombstone with the legend “Very Talented” written on it. Vercotti says that he hopes to break the world record for remaining underground.

Who Was Hunter S. Thompson? His Private Life - Biography (2016)

Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author, and the founder of the gonzo journalism movement.

Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author, and the founder of the gonzo journalism movement. About the book: ▻https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/030... The film Where the Buffalo Roam (1980) depicts heavily fictionalized attempts by Thompson to cover the Super Bowl and the 1972 U.S. presidential election. It stars Bill Murray as Thompson and Peter Boyle as Thompson’s attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta, referred to in the movie as Carl Lazlo, Esq. The 1998 film adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was directed by Monty Python veteran Terry Gilliam, and starred Johnny Depp (who moved into Thompson’s basement to “study” Thompson’s persona before assuming his role in the film) as Raoul Duke and Benicio del Toro as Dr. Gonzo. The film has achieved something of a cult following. The film adaptation of Thompson’s novel The Rum Diary was released in October 2011, also starring Johnny Depp as the main character, Paul Kemp. The novel’s premise was inspired by Thompson’s own experiences in Puerto Rico. The film was written and directed by Bruce Robinson.[77] At a press junket for The Rum Diary shortly before the film’s release, Depp said that he would like to adapt The Curse of Lono, “The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved”, and Hell’s Angels for the big screen: “I’d just keep playing Hunter. There’s a great comfort in it for me, because I get a great visit with my old friend who I miss dearly.”[78] Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision (1978) is an extended television profile by the BBC. It can be found on disc 2 of The Criterion Collection edition of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The Mitchell brothers, owners of the O’Farrell Theatre in San Francisco, made a documentary about Thompson in 1988 called Hunter S. Thompson: The Crazy Never Die. Wayne Ewing created three documentaries about Thompson. The film Breakfast with Hunter (2003) was directed and edited by Ewing. It documents Thompson’s work on the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his arrest for drunk driving, and his subsequent fight with the court system. When I Die (2005) is a video chronicle of making Thompson’s final farewell wishes a reality, and documents the send-off itself. Free Lisl: Fear and Loathing in Denver (2006) chronicles Thompson’s efforts in helping to free Lisl Auman, who was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the shooting of a police officer, a crime she didn’t commit. All three films are only available online.[79] In Come on Down: Searching for the American Dream[80] (2004) Thompson gives director Adamm Liley insight into the nature of the American Dream over drinks at the Woody Creek Tavern. Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride: Hunter S. Thompson on Film (2006) was directed by Tom Thurman, written by Tom Marksbury, and produced by the Starz Entertainment Group. The original documentary features interviews with Thompson’s inner circle of family and friends, but the thrust of the film focuses on the manner in which his life often overlapped with numerous Hollywood celebrities who became his close friends, such as Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro, Bill Murray, Sean Penn, John Cusack, Thompson’s wife Anita, son Juan, former Senators George McGovern and Gary Hart, writers Tom Wolfe and William F. Buckley, actors Gary Busey and Harry Dean Stanton, and the illustrator Ralph Steadman among others. Blasted!!! The Gonzo Patriots of Hunter S. Thompson (2006), produced, directed, photographed and edited by Blue Kraning, is a documentary about the scores of fans who volunteered their privately owned artillery to fire the ashes of the late author, Hunter S. Thompson. Blasted!!! premiered at the 2006 Starz Denver International Film Festival, part of a tribute series to Hunter S. Thompson held at the Denver Press Club. In 2008, Academy Award-winning documentarian Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Taxi to the Dark Side) wrote and directed a documentary on Thompson, titled Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. The film premiered on January 20, 2008, at the Sundance Film Festival. Gibney uses intimate, never-before-seen home videos, interviews with friends, enemies and lovers, and clips from films adapted from Thompson’s material to document his turbulent life.

Pendant le week-end
La Très Grande Entreprise
A annexé l’ open space voisin

Ouverture d’un café à la mode
Où l’on ne vous sert jamais
Ce que vous commandez

Les rêves
De cette nuit
Sont des rêves de lundi !

Appelant les enfants à la maison
Depuis l’ open space , la douceur
De leur voix et l’ambiance sonore de chez soi

Corée du Nord :
Les Etats-Unis prêts à utiliser
Leurs capacités nucléaires

Comment les parents
Contournent la carte scolaire
Et renoncent à la mixité

Septembre, des jeunes gens
Arrivent dans le monde du travail
Leur dire de fuir, le ventre noué

Déjeuner avec Zoé
En entrée, à bouche que veux-tu, du rire
Pour le plat de résistance et le dessert, aussi

Des sushis
Et du rire
Et du nougat

«  ? Je n’ai pas manqué un seul jour de classe
L’année dernière ? Tu n’as pas été malade ?
 ? Si mais mon père me forçait à aller en classe »

Elle a encore grandi
Elle est jolie, ma fille Zoé
Et maintenant elle a de la poitrine !

Hier encore je la portais
Dans le sac à viande
Dans les rues de Fontenay

Hier je lui donnais le biberon
Lui changeais ses couches
Et lui donnais le bain. Hier

Et elle me fait rire
Comme personne
Zoé est le 7ème Monty Python

Psychologue, orthophoniste, rugby,
Échecs, céramique, orthophoniste
Théâtre, équitation. Tout est calé !

Je peux passer
Des heures
Sans penser à elle !

Elle peut sans doute
Passer des jours
Sans penser à moi !

Je change,
Je peux trouver
Une certaine paix à plier mon linge

Je ne change pas
Même pour faire des pâtes
S’appliquer et ne négliger aucun raffinement

Pâtes au saumon fumé
Crème fouettée, pignons de pin
Paprika et basilic

Une belle promenade avec les enfants
Deux belles parties avec Émile
La belle soirée, un peu de lecture

Nous cueillons
Des marques-pages
Sur un ginko

Je rêve d’une bibliothèque
Dont chaque livre aurait pour marque-page
Des feuilles du même arbre

Me propose
Une belle aventure

Des nouvelles de #Peter_Sunde Pirate Bay Founder : ‘I Have Given Up’ | Motherboard
▻http://motherboard.vice.com/read/pirate-bay-founder-peter-sunde-i-have-given-up

I have given up the idea that we can win this fight for the internet.

The situation is not going to be any different, because apparently that is something people are not interested in fixing. Or we can’t get people to care enough. Maybe it’s a mixture, but this is kind of the situation we are in, so its useless to do anything about it.

We have become somehow the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail. We have maybe half of our head left and we are still fighting, we still think we have a chance of winning this battle.

So what can people do to change this?

Nothing.

#capitalisme

The amount of employees in these companies are smaller then ever before and the profits are, in turn, larger. Apple and Google are passing oil companies by far. Minecraft got sold for $2.6 billion and WhatsApp for like $19 billion. These are insane amounts of money for nothing. That is why the internet and capitalism are so in love with each other.

Huw Collingbourne’s Rants and Raves : : Spip, Joomla, Pivot, WordPress, CMS Made Simple
▻http://www.rantsandraves.co.uk/rant15.html

http://www.rantsandraves.co.uk/images/photos/huw1.jpg

Silly names, are, to Content Management Systems (CMS) what silly walks are to Monty Python. You can’t have one without the other. Over the past couple of months I’ve toyed with Drupal, flirted with XOOPS and passed the time of day with Xaraya and Mambo. For a while, I thought I had finally found the love of my life in Joomla. But, just as we were about to settle down for a long term relationship, a tall dark stranger with a seductive accent entered my life; and so my heart was finally won by Spip.

http://www.rantsandraves.co.uk/images/rantpix/rant15/spip.gif

Not you that you have to publish a whole magazine to make Spip worth using. It would also be excellent for a tightly structured blog written by single or multiple authors or for any kind of web site that publishes articles divided up into sections.

Which leaves the question: if it’s so damn’ good why has nobody ever heard of it?

The answer can be stated simply: because it’s French.

Al Jazeera Correspondent - Once Upon a Time in #Sarajevo

Can three comedians from Bosnia overcome the bitterness of the past to reunite and reconcile? Often compared to Monty Python’s Flying Circus the comedy team from Sarajevo known as Top Lista Nadrealista or The Surrealist Hit Parade rose to prominence on the eve of the breakup of Yugoslavia. #Nele, #Zenit and #Djuro became household names throughout the #Balkans. The wars that followed the splintering of the country pitted each of the diverse communities against one another. The bitter conflict exposed some nationalist loyalties among the comedians and lead to the acrimonious break-up of Top Lista. The split reflecting the broader tribulations dividing their homeland.

#Monty_Python: ’We hate the Daily Mail slightly more than we hate each other’ | Culture | The Guardian

The five surviving members of the famed British comedy troupe Monty Python – Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam – do not get along. On stage at the Beacon Theater on Friday night, two members walked off in the middle of a discussion. Others rearranged chairs so as not to have to face one another or the audience, while host John Oliver struggled to keep control of men who, he said, “always had a fundamental disrespect for authority”.

Or, at least, the Pythons suggested that such would be the story if the Daily Mail wrote it up.

“We’re getting together and putting on a show - it’s real,” Jones told the BBC.

“I’m quite excited about it. I hope it makes us a lot of money. I hope to be able to pay off my mortgage!”

The reunion is expected to be announced officially at a press conference being held in London on Thursday.

John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Jones are all due to appear at the event, which was first revealed in the Sun.

Eric Idle also tweeted on Monday: “Only three days to go till the Python press conference. Make sure Python fans are alerted to the big forthcoming news event.”

Georgian politics: Bidzina is not the messiah | The Economist

Bidzina is not the messiah
Sep 10th 2013, 11:56 by G.E. | TBILISI

IT IS a phrase more readily associated with Monty Python’s “The Life of Brian”, a comic film with a cult-like following. On September 2nd, Bidzina Ivanishvili, the Georgian prime minister, released an open letter to explain his decision to leave his position shortly after the presidential elections on October 27th. The main reason, he says, is that he is not the messiah.

http://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/full-width/images/2013/09/blogs/eastern-approaches/20130914_eup502_473.jpg

Georgia has a complicated relationship with political saviours. All three of Georgia’s previous post-independence leaders, Zviaad Gamsakhurdia, Eduard Shevardnardze and Mikheil Saakashvili, the current president, fitted this mould. Each man courted wildly unrealistic expectations from the Georgian public, but yielded little by way of accountability in return. As Georgians saw reality, their dreams turned to deep disillusionment.

“Discovering Dad” aka delving into Terry Gilliam’s personal archive
►http://hollydgilliam.blogspot.fr

Le Sacré Graal, Brazil, L’Armée des 12 singes... à la mention de ces bobines cultes, les amateurs auront reconnu une partie de l’œuvre du cinéaste Terry Gilliam, artisan hors norme à l’humour burlesque ravageur. En juillet, la fille du réalisateur a entrepris de ranger les archives de son papa, fruit de cinquante ans de carrière. Elle a ouvert un blog où elle commente son travail de dépoussiérage. Sur HollyDBlog sont publiés régulièrement des notes, dessins, bribes de scénario ou photos liés à l’un des projets du célèbre Monty Python. A découvrir notamment dans cette caverne d’Ali Baba, les carnets dessinés du Sens de la vie ou récemment le script original de Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Pourquoi un partage de tels trésors ? « Parce que j’ai eu la chance de grandir entourée du travail incroyable de mon père et que je pense qu’il mérite d’être vu par tout le monde. Explique-t-elle. Je trie ses archives en espérant qu’elles soient un jour réunies dans un ouvrage ou qu’elles fassent l’objet d’une exposition. »
