My favorite quote evah!
Edited to add: How ironic is it that I got comment spam on a Holy Grail post?
What does this say about me? This quote came up today on my Facebook Monty Python and the Holy Grail quotes and reminded me how much I love it.
Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, ‘First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.’
That, and “Big, sharp, pointy teeth”. That actually gets used around here quite often.

Hello Gem!
Delighted to meet you and to know that you read my blog! Monty Python quotes are frighteningly common around here, as well!

Hubby and I have our stash of regular movie quotes from Grail as well as others. . . I realized we say certain phrases so often that the kids have picked them up–even for movies they are waaaaaaay too young to see!
(Though, we have watched SFTHG with them. . . edited, of course.)

Hi Gem!
Thanks so much for visiting hippie dippie bébé and adding such insightful comments! And nice to meet you! Good to find another silly mom who loves Monty Python. Bizarre thing is my son and husband were upstairs watching it at the same time I discovered your post!
Look forward to sharing when we’re both homeschooling in the fall!
