Reading some Python references on another thread got me to thinking...the show was done over 30 years ago: the Python troupe made a few movies afterwards - Holy Grail ('75), Life of Brian ('79), and Meaning of Life ('83) and there were also a few movies of live performances too. The thing is - that over 20 years has passed and and people are STILL bandying quotes from Pythondom. It's almost a right of passage that if you attend college at an American University you WILL recieve exposure to MP to some degree. "Quoting" Python in a responsorial way (ala 'knock knock' joke) appears to be way of demonstrating membership to the club, much as one might produce an ID card elsewhere (and oddly it seems most people feel compelled to recite their Python with an English accent too).
My two question for the Throbbing Brain - who among us quotes or has quoted Python and why is that it still remains a phenomenon after all these years?
