Top 3 Python sketches and why you love them, go!

A very, very hard question honestly... They had so many amazing sketches and I sadly tend to forget about the ones that I'm not currently obsessed with so it was hard to choose but here's my choice now (in no particular order):

the whole Blancmange story; I can't really say what I love about it so much but it has stayed with me for years of not touching anything Python and that tennis playing Blancmange has lived rent free in the back of my mind all the time so that must mean sth. The sketch is so delightfully random and I love that it really is a complete story

Secret Service Dentists; it's just comedy gold: the timing, the dialogues, the absurdity of the whole situation and how every villain is interrupted by another worse villain. But let's be real here: "Poor Flopsy's dead and never called me mother" and the Lemming ditty are the real reasons why I love it

Archeology Today; this is a relatively new favourite of mine but I just love the atmosphere of this little story so damn much. And what is there not to love: the host's size kink, his determination to get revenge, Kastner's 'little 5-foot-10-inch body', Eversley's "Today" song, his reaction to Kastner's remark of having had more women, the dynamics between the characters in general and of course that epic showdown... Perfect really!

(But Confuse-a-cat was also very close to be put in this list, a very underrated sketch imo + as honorable mention I'd like to name the Happy Valley Tale from their German episodes which I really love, too)

Thank you so much for your ask!

#asks #thegizardofmars #personal rant #monty python #monty python's flying circus #flying circus #Okay I can definitely see a pattern here lol; anyone know who wrote each of these sketches?

OK, PSA

I can’t answer asks on this blog. If you want to ask me anything, plus just reblog something, or ask me at my personal account @puffitale

Anyway: Thank You for the ask @shyloudpanda regarding if I believe Justin or JC are the main hold outs for a proper ‘Nsync reunion.

It’s both.

I tried typing out a long ass thing about how I agree that Justin doesn’t need the group, so that’s the main hold back - he doesn’t need it to survive anymore. Hell, going be his work patterns, he seems to just be a rich flopsy who’s accumulated enough money to treat his actual job as an eccentric hobby. (To the guillotine) A lot of people think that he needs an ‘Nsync reunion to get back on his feet, but he doesn’t. When he releases JT6 (ew) he’s got enough solo hits to still do a full ass tour etc.

That being said, I genuinely don’t think an ‘Nsync reunion is something that JC actually wants to do - which is lush coming from someone who’s just done a cat food commercial… He might not have “fuck you, I’m Justin Timberlake” money, but he’s got enough to follow his passions and also flop about LA like a rich flopsy. If it doesn’t interest him, he’s not going to do it.

Furthermore (this whole ass essay), I doubt if, IF, there’s an ‘Nsync reunion thing coming soon, it’s just going to be the final song of the Trolls 3 movie, and one or two tv appearances, like Jimmy Fallon and the Today Show or GMA since Ellen’s dead now (the show, not the host). It’s not going to be a full ass album and a stadium world tour. It won’t even have a proper music video.

Y’all need to check your expectations, cause none of y’all are and it’s embarrassing

I have written this for @erin-bo-berin cos she writes awesome work for us and I wanted to return the favour - I hope you like it!!

No warnings - just a bit cute!!

Getting a pet with Steve

'Steve?' I asked as I wandered into the lounge room

'Hmmm?' He replied, not looking up from the book he was deeply engrossed in.

'You know this six nugget plan of yours?'

'Yeah?' His head still not moving from his book

'Well, I was thinking..........'

'Oh yeah..?' Steve had still yet to look up from his book

'Why don't we start off with something a bit easier than a baby?'

'Huh?' He asked, FINALLY looking up from his book, with a confused look on his face

'I was thinking we should get a pet! We could "practice" (As I motioned my fingers like they were inverted commas) with an animal before we start having babies.'

'Okay, what were you thinking? A cat? Or a dog? Or.....'

'A rabbit!' I said, cutting him off

'A rabbit?'

'Yeah, a rabbit! I went past the pet shop the other day and they had the cutest little bunnies in the window, there was a black one that was just adorable, it had these big floppy ears - it was just so cute!' I almost squealed as I rambled off my excitement

I watched as Steve sat, thinking it over, his brain weighing up the pros and cons of getting a pet.

'Just think, a dog would be too noisy and one of the kids is bound to be allergic to cats - a rabbit would be quiet and less likely to cause allergies!' I stood there, giddy with anticipation, waiting for Steve to decide if he agreed to my idea

'Hmmm, I think my darling Y/N, that getting a pet sounds like a great idea!'

'Omg, really? You really think so?'

'Yeah, I wasn't allowed a pet growing up - my parents wanted to keep the house picture perfect and a pet would mess that up - but now that they've moved to New York and the house is mine, I say LET'S GET A PET!!!'

'Yes!!!' It somehow came out as a high pitched squeak as I grabbed Steve's hand and pulled him up off the couch so I could throw my arms around him. 'Thank you, thank you, thank you, I love you, I love you, I love you!!' I said as I peppered kisses all over his face. Steve squeezed his arms around my waist as he scrunched up his face amid my kissing assault.

'We'll go to the pet store tomorrow and go get ourselves a bunny!' Steve said as he pulled away and sat back down on the couch to continue reading.

'Yay!' I did a little happy dance before joining him on the couch and turned on the TV, a huge grin plastered across my face. The smile didn't last long as it was making my cheeks hurt plus I was getting engrossed in what I was watching just as much as Steve was engrossed in his book.

_______

I made us get up early so we could go to the pet store and get our new fur baby. Steve kept chuckling at how excited I was as we got ready to go. I was like a kid at Christmas, I was so excited. I grabbed Steve's hand and practically dragged him into the pet store the second we were out of the car. Thankfully the bunny I wanted was still in the window.

'There's the one I want, it's still here!' I pointed the rabbit out to Steve as the sales assistant approached us. We were able to get our bunny, a hutch and food for a really good deal, all dual saws while we took it in turns holding the rabbit (which we were told was a girl) and both of us falling in love with her.

I cuddled our new bundle of joy on the car ride home, Steve would glance over at us smiling, seeing how much love I was giving the rabbit.

We made a temporary enclosure for the bunny - who I decided to call Flopsy - as we built her hutch and got her new home all ready. Once we were done, we sat on the grass with Flopsy, watching her get used to her new surroundings. 

Steve stretched his legs out, resting back on his arms that were sticking out behind him, Flopsy had somehow made her way up onto his legs and was now resting in his lap, it was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.

'I think she likes you!' I said as I softly patted her while she slept in Steve's lap.

'She's got good taste!' Steve said looking at me with a smirk on his face.

'Steve.....' I said, rolling my eyes at him before looking back at our precious bunny.

Steve sat up, trying not to disturb the sleeping rabbit and gave her a pat too.

'This was a good idea babe, we're pretty good at this owning a pet thing!'

'Steady on there buddy, we've only had her a few hours!'

Flopsy decided at that moment to wake up and go for a hop around the yard, we quickly got up from the ground and chased her, trying not to scare her. We managed to corner her and get her into her hutch before she was able to make her great escape.

'You were saying?' I asked Steve as he rested his arm on my shoulder as we watched our beloved rabbit happily hop around her new - and secure - home, clearly unaware she could have created a disaster, had she been able to escape. He looked down at me and let out a small laugh 'C'mon bunny daddy, let's go inside, let madam herself settled without us two weirdos watching her!'

We didn't move for another 5 minutes, as we continued to watch Flopsy sniff around her new home. The cold breeze snapped us out of our new fur-parent haze and made us go inside.

I headed to the kitchen to make a start on dinner. I thought Steve had gone into the lounge but when he didn't answer anything I was saying, I realised he wasn't there. It didn't take long for me to find him - he was outside checking on Flopsy to make sure she wasn't too cold. If this is what he was like with a rabbit, he's going to make a great dad!

He is fish, he is squish, he's a flopsy and fluffy flounder! A special request large plush, he is roughly 41 inches long, 27 inches wide, and weighs 5lbs and 10.7 oz. He took me about 48 hours to make and he is very comfy and squishy! (My cat is my official tester of comfiness.) Handmade using soft fleece, glass eyes, polyfil and glass microbead stuffing. Stitching is combination of sewing machine and hand-sewn. He will be joining me at the craft and vendor show in Birnamwood one week from today before being shipped to his new home. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp79HjgO9gI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Tale of Peter Rabbit

Beatrix Potter, 1902

Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were—

Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.

They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree.

'Now my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.'

'Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out.'

Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, and went through the wood to the baker's. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns.

Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather blackberries:

But Peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden, and squeezed under the gate!

First he ate some lettuces and some French beans; and then he ate some radishes;

And then, feeling rather sick, he went to look for some parsley.

But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor!

Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees planting out young cabbages, but he jumped up and ran after Peter, waving a rake and calling out, 'Stop thief!'

Peter was most dreadfully frightened; he rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten the way back to the gate.

He lost one of his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe amongst the potatoes.

After losing them, he ran on four legs and went faster, so that I think he might have got away altogether if he had not unfortunately run into a gooseberry net, and got caught by the large buttons on his jacket. It was a blue jacket with brass buttons, quite new.

Peter gave himself up for lost, and shed big tears; but his sobs were overheard by some friendly sparrows, who flew to him in great excitement, and implored him to exert himself.

Mr. McGregor came up with a sieve, which he intended to pop upon the top of Peter; but Peter wriggled out just in time, leaving his jacket behind him.

And rushed into the tool-shed, and jumped into a can. It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in, if it had not had so much water in it.

Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the tool-shed, perhaps hidden underneath a flower-pot. He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each.

Presently Peter sneezed—'Kertyschoo!' Mr. McGregor was after him in no time.

And tried to put his foot upon Peter, who jumped out of a window, upsetting three plants. The window was too small for Mr. McGregor, and he was tired of running after Peter. He went back to his work.

Peter sat down to rest; he was out of breath and trembling with fright, and he had not the least idea which way to go. Also he was very damp with sitting in that can.

After a time he began to wander about, going lippity—lippity—not very fast, and looking all round.

He found a door in a wall; but it was locked, and there was no room for a fat little rabbit to squeeze underneath.

An old mouse was running in and out over the stone doorstep, carrying peas and beans to her family in the wood. Peter asked her the way to the gate, but she had such a large pea in her mouth that she could not answer. She only shook her head at him. Peter began to cry.

Then he tried to find his way straight across the garden, but he became more and more puzzled. Presently, he came to a pond where Mr. McGregor filled his water-cans. A white cat was staring at some gold-fish, she sat very, very still, but now and then the tip of her tail twitched as if it were alive. Peter thought it best to go away without speaking to her; he had heard about cats from his cousin, little Benjamin Bunny.

He went back towards the tool-shed, but suddenly, quite close to him, he heard the noise of a hoe—scr-r-ritch, scratch, scratch, scritch. Peter scuttered underneath the bushes. But presently, as nothing happened, he came out, and climbed upon a wheelbarrow and peeped over. The first thing he saw was Mr. McGregor hoeing onions. His back was turned towards Peter, and beyond him was the gate!

Peter got down very quietly off the wheelbarrow; and started running as fast as he could go, along a straight walk behind some black-currant bushes.

Mr. McGregor caught sight of him at the corner, but Peter did not care. He slipped underneath the gate, and was safe at last in the wood outside the garden.

Mr. McGregor hung up the little jacket and the shoes for a scare-crow to frighten the blackbirds.

Peter never stopped running or looked behind him till he got home to the big fir-tree.

He was so tired that he flopped down upon the nice soft sand on the floor of the rabbit-hole and shut his eyes. His mother was busy cooking; she wondered what he had done with his clothes. It was the second little jacket and pair of shoes that Peter had lost in a fortnight!

I am sorry to say that Peter was not very well during the evening.

His mother put him to bed, and made some camomile tea; and she gave a dose of it to Peter!

'One table-spoonful to be taken at bed-time.'

But Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail had bread and milk and blackberries for supper.

THE END

9 Books I Loved As A Child

A super quick post for a Friday!

Here are a few books I loved during my childhood :

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

A picture book originally published in 1969, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is the story of a caterpillar who eats a lot of food!

I loved this book, and it may have contributed to the fact that I now spend about 50% of my day thinking about eating. Of course, as a child I didn’t pick up on the subtle healthy eating messages it contains! (the caterpillar munches his way through lettuce and other vegetables with no issues, while sugary foods give him a stomachache) I still get peckish whenever I see it in a bookshop!

2. Peace At Last by Jill Murphy.

���The hour was late and Mr. Bear was tired. But he could not sleep – however he tried and wherever he tried.” I was obsessed with the tale of Mr. Bear trying to find a comfortable place to sleep, and lost count of the amount of times it was borrowed from our local library. I came across it again a few years ago on a holiday to Devon, sitting in a cupboard. Naturally, I couldn’t resist a quick re-read!

3. Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

More food!!

4. Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl

I read most of Roald Dahl’s books as a child, but this was my first love. I am reliably informed that as a little girl, this was my bedtime story of choice every night for a long time! In fact, I love it so much that, one long day during the first UK lockdown (when you might say I had some time on my hands) I sat down with a cup of tea and re-read it from cover to cover. And I fell in love with it all over again.

5. The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter

I’m a big Beatrix Potter fan, but Peter Rabbit was my favorite, closely followed by The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. It has everything a children’s book should have – an intrepid hero, a fearsome villian, a moral (you should always listen your parents), not to mention a cat that gets locked inside a greenhouse! Last year I was lucky enough to visit Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s home in the Lake District, and it was a magical day that reminded me of the simple power of her books and how much they still enthrall children and adults alike today.

6. The Twits by Roald Dahl

Sorry Tim Burton, I don’t think you’ll be making a film of this one any time soon. Mr and Mrs Twit are a spiteful, unkempt old couple who play the most vile practical jokes on each other. I re-read this book as a child many times, but as an adult I really can’t remember why I loved it so much, as they really are horrible to each other! From a glass eye in a mug of beer, to a truly disgusting serving of Spaghetti Bolognese, I’m amazed that in our modern world, certain well- meaning people haven’t lobbied to have it banned.

7. The Mallory Towers series by Enid Blyton

I am aware that there are controversies surrounding the novels of Enid Blyton. However, the Mallory Towers series is considered wholesome enough for the BBC to make it into a successful television series, and that’s good enough for me! The 6-book series is set at a girl’s boarding school in Cornwall, and stars Darrell Rivers, who joins the school in the first novel and eventually becomes Head Girl in the final book. Darrell and her friends partake in all manner of post-war girl’s school fun, including midnight feasts, lacrosse, a pantomime, and trying not to fall foul of their housemistress Miss Potts!

8. The Sweet Valley High / Sweet Valley University series by Francine Pascal

Good Lord. This one is a definite step onwards from Enid Blyton! For a short time in the mid-90s, I was slightly obsessed with the Sweet Valley High series. It appealed to the same part of me that also loved Neighbours and Home and Away. The Wakefield twins and their scandalous (for 1997) antics enthralled me. I laughed out loud when I reminded myself of some of the plotlines!

For instance : Elizabeth Wakefield was almost murdered by her boss, stalked by a doppelganger (who turned out to have a twin who was also a psychopath), and was held hostage by a man with a bomb. And she was the sensible one! Jessica Wakefield on the other hand, dated a werewolf (take that, Bella Swan!), joined a cult, and eloped during college with a man who was violent towards her.

Riveting stuff, when you’re 14.

9. Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaardner

Philosophy for a teenage audience. Sophie Amundsen is a Norwegian teenager who is introduced to the history of philosophy by an unknown author, who sends her letters on the work of individual philosophers and the Big Questions. We begin with the question “Who are you?” and the novel progresses from there. This novel fed into my early interest in philosophy, and my decision to study philosophy at A level. Sadly, that didn’t last. I hated every second, and dropped the subject after one year. Philosophy remains the only school subject I was ever truly bad at. I don’t think my brain is wired that way! I actually re-read this book in full a few years ago. It blew my 30-something mind, so goodness only knows what it did to me at 15!

hi rachel thank u for all the numbers :DDD

4. which cryptyd being do you believe in?

most of them honestly?? if my religious trauma gave me anything it was a staunch belief in the supernatural/spooky things overall LMAO so quite frankly you could drop any kind of cryptid/mythological/folklore creature on me and i'd be like, "whelp, can't rule it out!" my FAVORITE cryptid though is mothman. also, in answering this, i've just suddenly had a vivid memory of being a child and watching a natural geographic documentary on el chupacabra, and being utterly enchanted and terrified of this demon dog creature that might just be in my backyard?? (i did not live in southwestern north america. this concern was unfounded. but the documentary showed a lot of dead goats and chickens and dogs as evidence.) (i also did not have any goats or chickens or dogs.)

9. which do you prefer, hot coffee or cold coffee?

answered here (x) but in short, cold! :D

17. are you farsighted or nearsighted?

nearsighted! i can see like. approximately a foot in front of me clearly, lmao. i think my exact prescription is something like -1.25(L) and -3(R) ((emo bangs got my right eye fucked up SKLDJFKLSJDF AHAHAHA mom was right [cries]))

22. what type of person are you?

oh man haha loaded question! i mean, i could just say enfp / melancholic-choleric temperament / type 4 / aquarius and cover most of my personality traits that way. i'd like to think i'm generally a laid back and understanding person? but at the same time... i know i'm also stubborn and judgemental and moody as fuck. i guess uhh Complicated, not to sound too... [waves hand around]. lonely? in my own head? alien / disconnected from the world. but at the same time, extroverted, adventurous, eager to make new friends. cruel while also empathetic. i don't think my friends would describe me as that, or as mean, but i know it's there and that it comes out sometimes. self-centered is probably another good one, haha. i dunno! what type of person am i? a selfish, complicated one, but in the way that self-awareness keeps me from cruelty most of the time these days. (or maybe that's dramatic, and my friends will laugh at me for saying that, and it's untrue to them! i dunno.)

24. if we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing?

listening to music, sharing some fries or snacks, drinking beverage of choice, and talking about anime probably :D or whatever has taken over tumblr for the week, lmao

36. how many times have you changed your url?

shiiiiiiit uh. god. maybe 4-5 times? screaminghelena, tiltheyhearyouout, and alienjack have been the big three though.

47. what was the last message you sent?

"DOES CRACKER HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE NEW SON YET" to @moirialsincrime in reference to her cat, cracker, in reply to a video of her new cat, flopsy (? i think i got his name right. he's a wobbly cat!!)

send me a number from the "weirder asks" list!

#answered #rachel #those personality types are mtbi + four temperaments + enneagram + sun sign lmao #weirder asks #geometricalien

poems inspired by my nicknames: petunia

I am petunia honey and poppyseed little flopsy and sweetheart.

It was never my full name never would be.

They bought me dresses with little green frogs it was always green.

It was green frogs and petunia.

I was petunia who loves spaghetti and chapter books and the neighborhood cats.

Petunia goes for a walk and doesn’t know what she looks like but her dress is green and scratchy

her mom removes the tags it’s okay

and her mom is trailing just there just behind

taking her picture.

Her sneakers are gleaming white and she is smiling her knees are dirty and she picks at her mosquito bites.

Me: I finally found the secret formula for the cutest Killer Sans platonic ship ever. It makes me cry at night knowing how amazing I am.

Me, showing my incomprehensible chicken scratches to Flopsy: LOOK AT MY MASTERPIECE!!!! It has hand holding! There’s even a cute life lesson and everything!

Flopsy looks at it for a solid 5 seconds, then looks away.

Me: SHE HAS APPROVED!! The sage says it must he done. Let the cuteness... begin.

#memes #writing memes #shipping memes #i’ve been working on this ship for months and goddammit I’ll make it work!!! #cat #flopsy is my cat

i want to make a review on all my smilodon plushies but i think i will wait until my collection is more diverse.. 4 is pretty good though

#so far the best fangs are by flopsie but the best overall shape is my first wild republic one.. #my lowest ranked is truffle who was made by independent person just because she 1) has a dog nose? and 2) is a lot more cartoonish but she #is definitely not bad.. she also has a rice sack in her to use as heat or cold pad which is nice #my second wild republic smilodon is just alright #it definitely has the right size and bulk but just isnt as accurate again tho shes great #the fangs on all but the flopsie one are just kind of Attached but the flopsie has the fangs actually tucked under the muzzle so they fold #I Love You Saber Cats<3 #i would kill for a gorgonopsid plush as well. the shape of a carnivore is just perfect #if i ever saw a lycaneops plush i would impulse buy.

My sisters dog comes into my room just to bark at me. Part of the dog’s (flopsy) brain is missing so aparently “we should get along just fine”

#personal #i dont even know how a dog can have part of their brain missing but she went to the canine neurologist and aparently its a possibility #anyway flopsy has complete control of the household now second only to my extremly large cat #they are quite a pair
