I can't believe I missed the birthdays of one very dead and one very Welsh Python

Silly me. In my post of Michael Palin's birthday, I got to wondering about the dead one (Graham Chapman). Bloody hell, his birthday was way back in January. And then I got to thinking about one of the two Terrys (the squealy voiced Welsh one: Jones) and his damn birthday was in February.

I am an ass.

So, to continue on with the Monty Python birthday theme, I bring you, many months tardy, videos of Graham Chapman (January 8, 1941 - October 4, 1989), lovingly referred to as "the dead one"; and Terry Jones (born February 1, 1942).

So, here are some videos featuring both of them:

Happy birthday, Michael Palin!

Another member of my favorite comedy troupe (not yet dead) celebrates a birthday today. Michael Palin of Monty Python was born May 5, 1943. Ni!

Happy birthday, Eric Idle!

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more! It is March 29, 1943 and Eric Idle is thrust upon the world, thereby beginning in earnest my memorization of Monty Python sketches decades before I was born.

Monty Python or real life? Or neither?

Fellow fraternity brother Bones sent this video to us via email. And there was plenty of hearty laughter that followed.

Sometimes life parodies itself. I could have sworn this could be a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch, but apparently this could be real.

What's the minimum crew?
-- Uh, one I suppose.

Classic.

Sadly, upon researching the interwebs concerning this clip for our blog, it is discovered to not be real. It has been verified that the "interview" was in fact the comedy duo of Bruce and Dawe. Damn. If it were real it would have been killer.

And now for something completely different, a proper Monty Python interview sketch:
