Doesn't have the ring of "An American in Paris" (or even "An American at Opera") but what can you do?

In Comedy, Timing is Everything

, , ,

The other night I was sitting with Mom watching Monty Python. Normally she doesn't mind, but this was one of the more surreal episodes and she wasn't really in the humor. So we started having a discussion about changing the channel. The central debate being whether what we were watching was comedy or just silly. (You can probably guess which side I was on :wink: )

So there I was trying to argue for the sophistication of Python when they came back from the ads straight to The Colonel.

It has come to my attention that this show is getting far too silly!


:eyes: You couldn't make this stuff up. :lol:

Not the exact scene, but the closest I can find on YouTube.

"now stop it!"

I can't stop laughting mick, thanks for sharing. :D

Micheál Seosamh 30. October 2008, 22:12

Angeliki, thanks for that. :smile:

I hope I haven't given Karen too much. It's an existing animated gif that's a little to big for My Opera (60x60 instead of 50x50) and when it's automatically resized after uploading the animation stops working. I've no idea how someone would go about fixing it. :confused:

Micheál Seosamh 30. October 2008, 22:23

Not too silly for you pfelelep? :D

I'm glad. :up:

Angeliki 30. October 2008, 22:24

it is easy to resize Mick,
see here:

I always resize my pictures in a flash!
I don't thing it will be long before you have it!

Micheál Seosamh 31. October 2008, 00:00

The problem is everytime I resize the image, it breaks the animation.

Angeliki 31. October 2008, 01:03

sorry,
I am sure at the end will be a solution,
i am in the stubborn group myself that never quits,
I am sure Karen will be able to do it she is very gifted...

Micheál Seosamh 31. October 2008, 01:35

No, I wasn't explaining the problem well enough.

I can be pretty stubborn with problems too, but I just have no clue when it comes to graphics. I'm a hardware/code geek.

I'm very grateful to Karen for her offer to help. I just hope she's not regretting it. :worried:

Angeliki 31. October 2008, 01:56

:hat: for the group of stubborn :lol:




she is a sweet soul :smile:

See? See how prescient Monty Python was? :wink:

Micheál Seosamh 1. November 2008, 00:54

I heartily agree :up:

After looking up the meaning of prescient :whistle:
