I learned about Monty Python from my high school print shop teacher in my freshman year. We would listen to 'Monty Python's Previous Record' while sorting out all the lead type in the California job case while laughing our butts off. Good times.

Fun Fact:

To remember which letters go into the correct slots in the type case, we learned short phrases. Basically 3 rows held the basic alphabet and the 3 phrases were:

Be Careful Driving Elephants Into Small Foreign Garages - BCDEISFG
Let Money Not Hinder Our Young Peoples Workings - LMNHOYPW
Vern Underwood Took (3-em spaces) And Ran - VUT(3-em spaces)AR

This is good to know in the event that you get asked on a radio quiz show.

You're welcome.

It just happened again on the main page. It's an ad below the "Visit Beggar's Canyon" link.

This isn't going to be a very fun site to visit if the videos must compete with noisy ads. Know what I mean, Vern?

Grew up watching Jim Varney. Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam anyone? One of my favorite spots of his was an anti-smoking PSA he did, where he chided Vern for smoking. "I care about ya buddy! But if you keep going like this, the groundhogs will be deliverin' yer mail, know what I mean?"
If they ever do a biopic, I nominate Mike Rowe.


Mike Rowe is like Ernest's evil twin Nash. All that workin out in prison. It'd be interesting to see him behave with such... timidity? Ernest isn't what I'd call a man's man. His strength lies in his pure ignorance and ingenuity, such that he holds to antiquated notions of chivalry and, not realizing the true nature of his enemies, fear does not hold sway.

Ernest underestimates his enemies and is easily defeated, coming back with something so wacky it works. Like someone that doesn't know how to play chess throwing off a chess master. Mike Rowe would not underestimate the enemy and would create a more logical and less fantastical battle plan.

Awe, I watched this stupid movie so much when I was a kid. Over and over again. It's so ridiculous, but even today this song comes up in my mind whenever it's raining and I'm a bit sad.

Y'know what I mean, Vern?

No, Jules Verne gave us the gift of science fiction... half a century before E.R.B.

(waves white flag) OK, I surrender. Jules Verne trumps Andrew Stanton, you win this round @EvilDeathBee

My local store had something like this a few weeks ago.
Vegan squid. and it has absolutely no real meat in it what-so-ever!~ They were so proud of their product. All I could think of was "Then, why would I want to eat it?"


Tell that to Captain Nemo

hilarious. I've always wanted to go to one of those events. not so much if there are hipsters involved.. thanks for the promote!

In reply to this comment by Fusionaut:
I went to a story slam last week and three asshole hipsters thought they would be clever and all tell a story about women in a river. All of the stories sucked but they brought their lame-ass hipster friends along to vote for them and one of the douches won. I wish that the old man, Verne, won with his awesome story about getting in a fight with his brother when he was a kid... Stupid hipsters... *promote

I am fascinated by technological clashes.
One of my favorite fantasies would be to get in a time machine, and go pick up Leonardo daVinci or Jules Verne, and take them for a tour of our technology.
Am I a hopeless nerd? lol


So basically, Bill and Ted?

If you showed them the "fleshlight" or internet porn, they'd be erased from the history books.

Ahhh, this takes me back to my physics lessons at school where we would talk about this with our teacher - who incidentally was not only a brilliant man, but also looked like Big Vern from Viz!

I think the appeal is that they're still scary. I'm an atheist, I DO NOT believe that ghosts exist. But they still scare the hell out of me in an unfamiliar place at 2 in the morning. I say have fun with it. But be responsible. And keep Vern off the damn train bridge.

Here is a clip of a television show called Eerie Indiana the kid playing Verne is the girls little brother Bob Bob.
