What do New Yorker's Think of Texas?

Recommended Posts

I don't like when people use bad words.

Monty Python's Flying Circus -

"Are You Embarrassed Easily?"

The Players: Eric Idle - First Announcer;

Michael Palin - Dr Karl Gruber;

John Cleese - Assistant;

Carol Cleveland - Lady in Restaurant;

Graham Chapman - Second Announcer;

John Cleese - Alan Hutchinson;

The Scene: Soft introduction music plays...

FIRST ANNOUNCER: Are you embarrassed easily? I am. But it's nothing to worry about; it's all part of growing up and being British. This course is designed to eliminate embarrassment, to enable you to talk freely about rude objects, to look at awkward and embarrassing things and to point at people's privates. The course has been designed by Dr Karl Gruber of the Institute of Going a Bit Red in Helsinki. Here he himself introduces the course.

DR KARL GRUBER: Hello! My name is Karl Gruber. Thank you for inviting me into your home. My method is the result of six years work here at the institute in which subjects were exposed to simulated embarrassment predicaments over a prolonged fart - PERIOD! - TIME!! [farts] Sorry.

ASSISTANT: "Shoe" ..... "Megaphone" ..... "Grunties".

DR KARL GRUBER: Now let's go on to something ruder.

DR KARL GRUBER: How do you rate your embarrassment response? (a) High ( B) Hello © Good evening.

If ©, you are loosening up and will soon be ready for this: [embarrassing noise]

DR KARL GRUBER: Well, how did you rate? (a) Embarrassed ( B) Hello © Good evening.

Now lesson three, in which these rude and dirty sounds are combined with smutty visual suggestions into an embarrassment simulation situation [fart]. You are the waiter at this table:

LADY IN RESTAURANT: [Charles, I've got something to show you ..... embarrassing noise]

DR KARL GRUBER: Score (5) for no embarrassment, score (3) for slight embarrassment, and (1) for .....

SECOND ANNOUNCER: Good evening. A Book at Bedtime. Alan Hutchinson reads another extract from a series of bedside books.

ALAN HUTCHINSON: Number 32. The lady lies with her left leg planted firmly on the ground and the right hand waiting. The gentleman with the melon switches on the battery and places his left thigh on the edge of the swivel table, keeping the neck of the .....

Just to put the clip in context its from the Daily Show. Its Lewis Black's answer to Texas governor Rick Perry's recent radio and TV commercials pushing businesses to come to Texas where there is less regulation less tax blah blah blah.

Its an extremely funny clip I actually shared it with several friends prior to OZ posting it here :D

Well, I guess I much prefer to experience the bad words myself. :smile: Esp when someone says to me: Fuck you. I always say, "OK. Your place or mine." :smile:

How about, "Promises, promises"

I don't know what New Yorkers think of Texas, but I live in California and you'd have to pay me tons of money to live in Texas for many many reasons.
