3. No, but
I thought with a government grant I could make it sillier.

6. Good question
I'll try to remember to ask that when I talk to someone at PBS.

7. Thanks...
...and while you're asking...could you see if anyone there could put a word in for me with the Masons? I promise, I'd just sit in the back and never cause any trouble...

12. LOL!
You've got a second-hand apron, right? And you nearly got in at Hendon?

:rofl:

(I actually found this photo on the site of the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and the Yukon.)

15. I'm gonna make it a condition of the deal
that they put it on their web site.

No webby, no story.

10. My local PBS station got 'em their start in the US

14. KERA in Dallas?
That's always seemed strange to me — and to the Pythons — that the mania began to spread to the U.S. via (cough) Texas.

Someone here about a month ago linked to a video from a night Chapman, Palin and Gilliam were on a segment during a pledge drive at KERA. They were hardly known at all in the U.S. then. That video was a major score for my collection of Pythonia. :bounce:

16. Yes indeed.
And it is weird. But Dallas has its weird charm, if you can find it. ;)
