I was 13 & a freshman in high school when, because my parents watched other programs on the main living room TV, I watched Monty Python on their bedroom TV on channel 13.

'The Mouse Problem' was one of the first skits I saw (along with Ron Obvious). I remember "getting" the satire of this & giggling to my mom that they were lampooning homosexuals & discussing it with a small group of guys in my mechanical drawing class, where we'd put on fake British accents & re-enact the skits until the teacher, Mr. McConnell, told us "enough" - because we were disrupting the class.

That & the Pilot Banter sketch were among my favorites.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power & of love and of calm, a well-balanced mind, discipline and self-control.

Just when you think phaggs and betas can't sink into the sewer any deeper...
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
