Monty Python Returns
pigpogm writes "The remaining members of the Monty Python team are to return to do some new material for the BBC. It's part of the celebrations for their 30th anniversary - will they still 'have it'? Should be fun to find out." It's a one-time special scheduled to run this fall in the U.K. I hope it doesn't take too long for this to make it across the Atlantic. I saw the "remaining" Pythoners not long ago on HBO, with (the late) Graham Chapman appearing as ashes in an urn, and IMO they still "have it."
John Cleese as the replacement for Q in the :-)

Despite what people in certain quarters may imply about us, we honestly care about your business. You are a valued customer.
Unlike those snivelling little open source shits, what with their smug superiority complexes and secret handshakes.. claiming that their work is much more stable than whatever a magnificent bulwark of free enterprise like Microsoft Corporation could possibly provide! Everybody seems to hate the winner these days, don't they? We worked our fingers to the bone for the likes of those ingrates, and created the largest software organization in the process! What do those.. those hippies have to show? Red Hat? Oh come on now! We blew up penguins in my day, and I don't see why that trend shouldn't continue into the next century!! I wouldn't give the time of day let alone source code to any of those underpaid wretched Commie student bastards IF YOU BEGGED ME!!
Excuse me.
This fine new Merced box.. okay, play the little Intel sound logo here.. ding!.. thank you.. is running the latest and greatest version of Windows NT, your best choice for an Intel (ding!) system to function as a reliable server!

".sig,
We don't have a fall here in the UK. Maybe they'll show it during the autumn instead. ;)
The first two seasons will be available in full on four DVDs, each sold separately. First two volumes are out on 9/28; three and four are due 11/16.

Better yet, Cleese could do ads where he tries to return MS-ware with a Bill-Gates lookalike behind the counter ...
BG-alike: no, this OS isn't frozen, it's just reading the registry! Lovely OS, Windows, eh, beau'iful GUI!
Cleese: (incredulous) Readin' the registry??!?? Look, I took the liberty of typing 'ver' into a DOS window, and I found that the only reason that GUI works is because it's running DOS underneath.
BG-alike: If I hadn't put DOS underneath there, this OS would pry apart protected memory with GDI.EXE and ... voom!
Cleese: Look, this OS wouldn't 'voom' if you ran Apache on it! this ... is bloatware ... it's had the biscuit ... this ... is an ex- OS!
well I'm not feeling terribly creative right now, but at least you get the idea ...

Well, it's just before half past four, and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode. :-)
If it wasn't for Monty Python, we wouldn't have spam.

She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
With the latest antics of Microsoft (re the NT/Alpha thing), maybe they could collaberate with Bill Gates, who seems to be providing my life with just as much humour these days as Cleese and the gang:
"Monty Python's Flying Circuits?"
"Old man yells at systemd"
he's a lumber jack and he's ok, he sleeps all night and he works all day.
