Why I heart Monty Python
First off, who is -- I?
I am a thirteen year-old thrity-plus year old late-bloomer and also late in my discovery - fortunately not too late - of Monty Python.
Our south-east Asian country - being once an American colony - adored everything American and probably found it too easy to understand their accent more than the English.
We also didnt have VCRs growing up & even if my cousin did have one, we only had access to - and our relatives preferred - the Police Academy movies more than any other comedy.
Fast forward years later when I finally got broadband installed and saw Monty Python video clips on YouTube - at the same time when I was reeling from a sad heart (read: boyfriend break-up) and was looking onto YouTube to help distract me from the "hurtful" now and viola --
up came The Funniest Joke in the World.
and the BISHOP!
then the ARGUMENT CLINIC!
and - this one waked me from my self-imposed depression, literally - Keep it Up!.
And these are why I HEART MONTY PYTHON.
They have mastered the art of deflating egos, popping bubbles of grand illusion and bringing people back to reality's grounds - and in an entertaining way too - more than any religion or yoga position would.

Welcome!
I have been looney for Monty Python long enough. Actually, for more than 2 years now.
I have long heard of something called "Monty Python" from my writing teachers and even saw an excerpt of Life of Brian during one of the writing workshops I attended but never appreciated them this much until I finally had internet broadband installed 2 years ago and saw un-authorized video clips of Monty Python on YouTube (at the time when YouTube was still cool and free from the limitations imposed by copyright law)
and then I was-is-and will forever be HOOKED.
And the rest is what this blog will be about..
..something not totally different but hopefully something where seekers of anything and everything Monty Python will get to find what they are looking for.
