Well, art is art, isn't it?

Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west, and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.

Now you tell me what you know.

1. I know I am going to be sewing black velvet curtains for a fake house

this weekend. That's not nearly as cryptic and figurative as it sounds.

2. OK

I want another slice of rhubarb tart.
I want another lovely slice.
I'm not disparaging the blueberry pie
But rhubarb tart is oh so very nice.
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
A whatbarb tart? A rhubarb tart!
I want another slice of rhubarb tart!

The principles of modern philosophy
Were postulated by Descartes.
Discarding everything he wasn't certain of
He said 'I think therefore I am a rhubarb tart.'
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
A Rene who? Rene Descartes!
Poor nut he thought he was a rhubarb tart!

Read all the existentialist philosophers,
Like Schopenhauer and Jean-Paul Sartre.
Even Martin Heidegger agrees on one thing:
Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart.
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb tart!
A Jean-Paul who? A Jean-Paul Sartre!
Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart.

A rhubarb tart has fascinated all the poets.
Especially the immortal bard.
He caused Richard the Third to call on Bosworth Field:
'My kingdom for a slice of rhubarb tart!'
A rhubarb what? A rhubarb bard!
Immortal what? Immortal tart!
As rhymes go that is really pretty bard!

-- John Cleese

3. Where'd you find that?

I've never heard it before.

10. Must be on one of the albums

I've never heard it in any of the shows or films. :shrug:

That's the one area in which my collection of Pythonalia is woefully inadequate: audio. :blush:

4. I know that if you're going to criticize someone

You should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you've got their shoes.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. I love that one

Kinda goes along with this:


I was feeling sorry for myself because I had no shoes.

Then I met a man who had no feet.

I asked him, "Can I have your shoes?"

5. Here's what my grandpa always said:

"You don't know nothin'. Someday you'll know you don't know nothin', and then you'll know somethin'. But until then, you don't know nothin.'"

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Your grandpa was a wise woman

And a master of the apostrophe, to boot.

7. It ain't what you don't know that gits you in trouble...

it's what you DO know that ain't so.

think about it
