My best friend hit a rock hidden in the grass and tumbled head over heels two or three times. I raced to where he was laying, fearing the worst. I threw my motorcycle on the ground and ran to his side. He sat up and was holding his obviously broken arm, staring at it, with tears starting to run down his cheeks. I said, "Oh look, it's only flesh wound". He looked up at me with grass in his hair and dirt on his face and busted out laughing.

Except when you look at your clothes only 30 years ago you'd be embarrassed too, no doubt dodgy hair styles too, but those things the King wears have been worn for 100s of years. So it is normal in the greater scheme of things.

Mr. Cleese came to my city (Winnipeg) last winter and it was like spending two hours with a old friend. :)

The ending to Holy Grail always felt particularly nostalgic for me - I used to do medieval re-enactment. And one time, during the re-enactment of the Battle of Tewkesbury... someone got an arrow in the eye. Next thing you know, gliding through the cannon smoke and past the men in armour, across the battlefield, a modern ambulance appears, loads up the wounded individual, drives off. Battle resumes. Years later I saw Holy Grail, and my thought was not "that's very silly and out of place" - my thought was "That's weirdly authentic."
