If I could live in any era of history, what would it be -- list 10 reasons why.<------
I would go back to the medieval times, of course! Just out of the dark ages. An *era of chivalry and knighthood* --and also these 10 cool things:
1. 2 empty halves of coconuts + much galloping = my horse.
2. castle defense= barnyard animals being catapulted by rude Frenchman.
3. convenient pick up service for disposing of my dead loved ones.
4. access to the artistic genius of Roger the Shrubber.
5. Castle Anthrax: Just like Victoria's Secret....only all "exciting underwear" is hand-stitched.
6. totally legal to beat your cat against a tree.
7. a chance to study the Air Speed Velocities of Swallows (both African and European) under the tutelage of those who are so wise in the ways of science.
8. huge tracts of land.
9. the miracle of the Holy Handgrenade blowing our enemies to bits (mercifully).
10. In Medieval times---it's always ok to just "RUN AWAY!"
----------------------
I hope there were at least a few of you out there that *got that* ! Did you want me to list all the actual reasons I'd want to live back then? Let's see--Troubadour music, poor drinking water, thatched roofs, the Black Plague---hmmmm.....I think I like what I did better :).
Now leave me a comment or I shall say "NEE!" to you!

Best movie EVER!
Don't Nee me please!!!
I was going to pick the same time period! But I was too tired to write so I did a three line Haiku! I'm so lazy.
Have you watched "A Knights Tale"? One of my favorite flicks.
I So don't get it....
pray thee not to nee me either....
Great movie!!!
You forgot... chasity belts. Mmmmmm, I'm sure they were a pleasure to wear.
Can we turn you into a newt and see if you get better?
Or perhaps toss you into some water to see if you're a witch made of wood so we can burn you?
And who can forget the killer bunny?
Or Camelot being "only a model" and "a silly place?"
I {heart} my blog readers!!! You're all bloody brilliant!
I won't make any of you cut down the mightiest tree in the forest.....with a Herring!
Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who
Love your post. I got kind of lazy and did a Haiku, but I will say it took me longer that I thought it would.
I fart in your general direction!
You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberry.(or whatever)
Its been a while since I've seen the like of MP! I think I need another viewing.
Love it!
I like what you wrote just fine! Though ok call me clueless, because I don't know what movie this is from?

I really need to watch that now.. it's been a long time since I've seen it.
barnyard animals being catapulted by rude Frenchman... Roger the Shrubber... Castle Anthrax... I'd forgotten about all this stuff. Your comments were hysterical.
Loved it.
ROFL that was great!
NEE! NEE!
It's just a flesh wound!
I feel like the girl who didn't get the joke and is pretending to get the joke...but I am telling you that I don't get the joke...Sigh.
But I am listening to the music...and it is so perfect for this post.
watch monty python much?
your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries!
If medieval times were like that movie, I am there.
Haha!
I do find it incredibly odd that you chose medieval times because I think they were the worst times to live in all of history! But, I see you made some very humorous reasons as of why you would like to live in medieval times :).
I would like to live anywhere in history that was when small pox was wiped off the face of the earth. I heard it was better in some cases to die from the disease rather than to survive it!
Ohhh by the way, I have question!
Are you able to find time to read ALL your comments?! I'm just wondering because you always have so many!
LOL - you know, for real LOL.
I loved it!
Cattle catapulting and cat beating. I'm calling PETA on you, woman!
Oh bummer...she stole my flesh wound comment. I have to go wake my lazy bum boys up and ask them for all their favorite lines. I bought this at a yard sale this summer and they have been watching it. Whenever I am on stage singing and they put the beat "click" in our ears, I always do the galloping coconut thing because it sounds just like that... :)
And I am right there with you in the Medieval. I dress up Renaissance for our Homeschool History Day at our co-op.
"What are you going to do bleed on me?"
"It's only a flesh wound. Come back here and I'll bite you kneecaps off!" (Or something like that!)
"She turned me into a newt. . .I got be'er."
This was hilarious. It was also one of four or five movies my friends and I quoted incessantly throughout high school.
My husband like the dungeons:-) You know...like everyone had one:-)
A brilliant movie that not only gets better the later the night becomes, but it also gets better each time you watch it.
For the other posts, missing the flick, it's called Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Classic. It's at the top of my list, along with Strange Brew, in my book of demented movies worth watching over. and over. AND over again.
Hey Jennifer! Nice yo see you at the blog again. My husband and I moved from Ohio to Florida a year and a half ago so I do miss the fall and occasional snow, but I can't say I miss scraping my windows or winter hat hair! The Florida sun helps cheer me up for being so far away from my friends and family up North!
My hubby LOVES LOVES LOVES that movie. If I weren't married to him...I would set you guys up for a date :) hee hee! On our last trip to Scotland we had to travel to the castle where it was filmed. Dune I believe?? Anyway, he's holding coconuts and everything. You would surely appreciate it. I also was catching up on your last post about your Zane's bd!!! Hope he had a GREAT day and whoa...that newest picture of the two of you is sooo cute. Your hair is waaay cute when it's short!!!!!
bwahahahaha! now that was funny.
(actually i'm not a huge monty pythom fan...i just don't think it is all that funny.....possibly the same reason i'm not a huge fanof the office...take it or leave it, i say!)
but you did make me laugh: so good for you!
What IS this Monty Python movie that absolutely everyone is splitting a seem over???? Why must I always be the uncultered one? What if I watch it because Jennifer and all of her bloggy fun commenting pals said it was awesome....AND I DON'T LIKE IT!!! I will shrink!!!
I'm googlin', and one day, maybe I'll watch this thing. There must be plenty of ways to find out which movie everyone is talking about. I think all I have to type is something about "Nee"ing someone, and google will explode with capital letters, "HAVEN'T YOU SEEN THIS MOVIE YET?"
Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
Oh.. it's been so long! Must watch this again.
I'd love to be a castle wench!
interesting, very interesting.
Nee!!! She's a witch!!!!
Okay... it has been way too long since I've seen this movie but you are definitely making me want to freshen my memory!
I pray don't nee thee! Great post. I love medieval times and Monty Python!!!
Lisa Q
Hilarious post! My husband is laughing as I read it aloud!
We demand a shrubbery from thee Jennifer P!
You forgot the beautiful clothes and chivalry. :)
Old Woman!
Man.
Oh...sorry, Man. Who lives in that castle?
I'm 37
What?
I'm 37. I'm not old!
Well I can't just call you "man".
Well you could say "Dennis".
I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked..
What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
You must cut down this entire forest with......
.......a herring!
Oh. My. Head.
Best movie ever.
"I fart in your general direction."
and my favorite...
"What you going to do, bleed on me?"
p.s. This makes me love you even more.
hmmmm, I am not a fan of Monty Python (despite being British!!) but your list of ten reasons made me laugh!!
I am so sad for all the people that have never seen this movie (Debbie!). Have you seen Spamalot? I want to break out into song now...
"always look at the bright side of life..."
And here I was thinking, "the dark ages?" WHAT?????????? The Plague, crap in the streets......but then you completely won me over.
I must re-watch that movie; it has been so long.
Thank you!
Holy. Toledo! Now I know why my husband says these same random things all the time. They're from a movie! Duh! I just thought it was part of his peculiar sense of humor.
Thanks for that enlightenment. I'll have to watch the movie now.
i'm going to start blog-stalking you. ;-)
Legal to beat your cat...that had me crying laughing...nice work!
Jay @ HalftimeLessons.com
I was thinking you picked it for the lovely smell of unwashed bodies! Mmmmmmmmmm
Thanks for the sweet comment :)
I did think that you read all your comments (their fun to read!) but I was just randomly curious.
I forgot to mention in my previous comment that my favorite of your 10 reason is #3! Haha, I found that one especially funny.
I love that movie and is there really anyone that does not have the whole thing memorized?! I need to go watch it....
Yeah I'm gonna go with your list...love it. Not much of a plague fan myself...
Oh. My. Goodness! Another woman who quotes Holy Grail? I'm a total geek over that movie.
"Some call me... Tim?"
"WHAT is your name?"
"Sir Robin."
"WHAT is your quest?"
"To seek the Holy Grail."
"WHAT is your favorite color?"
"Red... no Blue AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"Aaauuurrrgghh..."
"Why would he write Aurgh?"
"Maybe he was dictating!"
More and more and SO MANY MORE! Love, love, LOVE this movie. Thanks for sharing your excellent top 10 reasons. Glorious!
"She turned me into a newt!"
"A newt?"
"Well...I got better!"
"Holy Grail" is one of hte best movies ever! Now i know what we're watching tonight for movie night! :D
Ahhh. You need to visit the Texas Renaissance Festival.
Ya gotta love Monty Python, lol!!!
Okay I won't lurk...
"Well, that's no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel,
and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on."
You crack me up, mind if I link to your blog? I think my friend would get a kick out of it :)
