Nazis, Queens and the Spanish Inquisition: Monty Python Takes New York


Monty Python’s Flying Circus took to the stage Thursday night, a little grayer and minus (almost) the troupe’s one deceased player — but no slower on the draw, with shots aimed at each other and even the occasional adoring audience member.

The iconic (mostly) British comedy team collaborated on a borderline inexplicable sketch comedy series 40 years ago that featured gay lumberjacks, cheese shops that sold no cheese, pet shops that sold dead parrots and Cardinal Richelieu reining Spanish Inquisition terror on unsuspecting 20th-century Britons.

They remain as popular as ever and their story is the subject of a 6-hour documentary, Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut), which premieres on the IFC channel this week.

Rubik’s $150 TouchCube Available Soon


The Rubik’s TouchCube first surfaced back in February earlier this year, and the “available sometime in the Fall” release date that was given translates to very soon, if not already. The official Rubik’s TouchCube website claims the cube is already available at Best Buy, though a quick search of their online store returned no results, while The New York Times Gadgetwise blog claims it will be in stores on October 18, just a few weeks away.

Meine Nippel explodieren vor Lust: 40 Jahre Monty Python


Die Headline habe ich ganz schamlos bei AICN geklaut, oben der Alcohol Philosophy-Song, vorgetragen von drei australischen Bruces, die auch gleich noch den besten Witz über amerikanisches Bier erzählen: „Why is american Beer like making love in a kanu?“ – „It’s fucking close to water.“ Kommen wir nun aber zu etwas völlig anderem.

Heut’ schon LSD gehabt?


Nein? Dann kann man ohne weiteres dahin klicken. Sehr kurzweiliges Flash-Spielzeug für die kurzen Momente der freien Zeit, die das Leben manchmal so hergibt. Das reicht dann allerdings auch.
