For about as long as i've been online, i've been in a fantasy baseball league of ex-Fanballers called Hall of Rotating Knives where all the teams must be MPFC references. My team is SpamEggBases&Spam.
I'll never forget my first exposure to Monty Python's Flying Circus. I'd written jokes for a few standup comedians - and this is when there wasnt a single comedy club in Boston, hadda go to strip joints to see Jay Leno - and by so doing got in with the Emerson College comedy mafia. Each Saturday in the fall, these guys had touch football games in the actual Fenway of Back Bay Boston. Being the largest funny guy in town, i was invited to several. After one, they said they were all going to a new British comedy flick called And Now For Something Completely Different @ the Kenmore Square Theater the next day. I showed up with a hangover and all the aches you have the day after a football game, like most everyone in our crowd and were treated to an excruciating 90 minutes of Pythony, just pukin' our guts out laughing at this unprecedented stuff and screaming in pain from what it did to our scrumsad carcasses. good times -
