Yeah, but Evo Junior isn't going to put up with somebody putting a weird contraption like that on her head, and then walk around for all the world to see.

it would be cool if she did, tho'... i would have to pray in her general direction 5 times a day if she did that and threw it up on the net for people to watch, cause that would take friggin' balls :D
i think i might do it myself, if you promise to pray in my general direction...
... and for the people suddently finding themselves wanting to quote a good ol' Monty Python sketch i have only one thing to say:
I know where your address lives!

(Hopefully) it means that she doesn't mind humiliating herself by looking like an ass, whereas millions of 'normal' people wouldnt. Or whatever.
Oh yeah, you take credit for snake idea?

The Holy Grail is one of my favorite movies.
Have any of you seen Time Bandits? Also by the Monty Python gang.

Never seen the 'Time Bandits' but do you remember the killer bunny? And the series sketchs:
How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana;
The Bruce Sketch;
Ministry of Silly Walks;
Da Ja Vous;
BlackMail;
and The Agrument Sketch.
So funny.

You guys should watch Time Bandits. Balkan, you might have been too young when you watched the first time. It's hysterical in a weird and twisted way. If you like The Holy Grail, you will like this.
It has John Cleese, Terry Gilliam & Michael Pallin (all from Monty Python) even Sean Connery is in it. The music for the film was done by the late George Harrison of the Beatles, who was also executive producer.
One of my favorite scenes is where the Evil Genius (the devil) is telling his minions how much better he would have done at creating the world. Part of it is below, of course unless you hear the actors doing this, it won't sound as funny.
******
Evil Genius - When I have the map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding.
Robert - Understanding of what, master?
Evil Genius - Digital watches. And soon I will have understanding of videocassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being! God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time: forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!
Robert - Slugs.
Evil Genius - Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear, they can't speak, they can't operate machinery. If I were creating the world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would've started with lasers, eight o'clock, day one.
