miscellany and musings
Is it ok to be really weirded out that there is a webcomic with the same name (I can't say based on or even relating to, not without twitching) as the medieval magical text I've spent a great deal of time on over these many years?
Yeesh.

I first saw The Four Yorkshiremen sketch when I rented Live At The Hollywood Bowl lo those many (many, many, as in mid-80s many) years ago, and since (success only recently, thank you YouTube!) have been able to find more of the same:
1967: Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, and Marty Feldman.
1979: Michael Palin, Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, Terry Jones.
2001: Harry Enfield, Alan Rickman, Eddie Izzard, and Vic Reeves.
*warning: I laughed out loud at my desk at these. I don't mean I snickered, even chuckled - I broke out in loud peals...embarrassing guffaws complete with eyes tearing to be precise. This sketch slays me every damn time (not the least because it's eerily similar to comments by my grandfather when I was growing up - sprinkled liberally with smartassed Polish commentary, Jak się masz). If you don't want your co-workers to look at you like you've gone 'round the bend -- watch them at home!*



I am full of squee!
