Interesting point! Thanks. Is that your own formulation, or can you cite it for me?

He should have said it, without a doubt.
Oddly, about 30sec before I posted this comment, I posted another apt Python reference in response to another video... it was an odd morning:
"Sooooo, if Obama weighs more than a duck..???"

I was so sure that Cleese was about to say that. I'm glad you did. ;-)

"..and I discovered that the only reason that she's standing at that podium in the first place is that she's been nailed there!"

Oh sweet, didn't know that!

Isn't it also Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers) that we see here in a cameo as the hippie in the men's room?

Well, I cannot really say I enjoyed this. I mean, the mere thought of Palin possibly becoming the vp is more than any reasonably thinking person could take, isn't it? But I had been wondering (having access to maps, unlike Ms Palin and Miss Teen South Carolina) what she would actually be able to see "from her home", but was too lazy to dig into it. So, thanks for doing my research for me. Are you from Alaska or did you just happen to come across this vid or did you seriously do some research?

In reply to this comment by wazant:
NP. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for posting this. I know it doesn't really matter, but I had been wondering what/how much/from where one would actually have a view of Russia from Alaska (realising one couldn't possibly see it from either Wasilla, Juneau or Anchorage).

It is pretty cool. As for all the promotes, what can I say - I like your posts!

In reply to this comment by wazant:
Wow! Another promote from Jonny! I must owe you like 10 stars by now...

I think that was my very first attempted sift. Always wondered why it never made it, since I think it's quite cool.

*promote

cool! and yeah, great album. we were just discussing classic album covers here, and then i finally 'fixed' this, so i thought it appropriate.

off to rechannel some car sifts.

Confession: me too!

His 3 albums are some of the most valued treasures of my 90s CD collection, so I couldn't help jumping back on the old 900-foot bandwagon by posting another of his videos. Didn't know he used to have long hair!

P.S. Your avatar is the first album I ever owned! (yes, on vinyl)

In reply to this comment by my15minutes:
cool. just caught another mc900'j tune, from a probie:

Your Montaigne vid went dead. I don't remember if you made the youtube playlist or not, but here's parts 1, 2, and 3, so you can create a new one or fix an existing one.
