fiogf49gjkf0d May 8-9
Nice days today. Got a few chores done. Laundry, vacuuming. Got some exercise. I've lost 40 lbs. now. Finally at a healthy weight. No beer- get some walking in. That's the secret. Throw away those diet books. All I've got to do is 'become fit'. Not an easy task any more.
Still procrastinating about buying that riding mower. Which one to get? Which is the best? Can one go by the research one finds on the net, or is it just hype? Who can tell?
If anyone asks, that why not much editing got done today (5/9). Domestic issues got in the way. Just like a certain other pirate I know. Hope he checks in with me soon. Things need to get done in order to move on...

May 6
Time for another super enthralling (yawn) update on how the archive repairs are going. I've passed the halfway point (around 2000+) and will get there relatively soon if I can get in 100 a day. I should mention again that these are just repairs- fixing grammatical issues and zapping no longer functioning links and such. I'll still add info when I run across something I've memorized years ago, but for the most part, it's just fixing.
I've bought a nice, comfy chair to replace the broken one. Instead of being a Pythonesque torture device, my cat is torturing the comfy chair with it's claws. I should have remembered that leather and cats don't mix.
I haven't heard from Wayne about the ideas in last week's blog, but he told me his schedule was packed solid this week too, and I understand his dilemma. Hopefully, he'll get 'round to reacting to my ideas soon. I think they're good ones.
Meanwhile, I'd like to thank everyone who put more time and effort into working on the archive with me. You know who you are. (and I have the list) If I could, I'd grant all of you 'contributor' status myself, then try to recruit more, but that sort of thing will have to wait until I get an answer about this solution to the whole 'mostly empty pages' problem.
I've also noticed an artistic burst happening lately. Must be spring. There should be a page on the site for all this self expression. And it could play a part when Wayne finds time for adding to the look of the site again.
There. That should do. As always, questions and ideas can be posted here, and we could always use more help with the archive. Now, I'm off to buy a riding mower. 'Cause the old one fell apart. Just like the chair. ...Hate lawn care season....

fiogf49gjkf0d Holy crap! Fifty bucks! I'm on my way!!!
Lemon curry?

fiogf49gjkf0d The sensible course would be to experience them all from beginning to end, but I rarely do the sensible thing when it comes to this stuff. You should start with the infamous 'Lemon Curry' episode (ep. 33) featuring the Cheese Shop sketch, some of Terry Gilliam's more sinister cartoons- "Henry, turn that TV off! You know it's bad for your eyes!" and the super gross (for 1971) 'Salad Days' sketch, which they actually apologize for afterward. This episode is strange, even by Python standards. If you're going to start anywhere, start with this one.
The 2nd and 3rd seasons are generally considered the best. Watch those first, if you can. I can only think of 2 episodes that didn't work at all (ep. 34- 'The Cycling Tour & ep. 41- 'Michael Ellis'), as Python works best when they don't use a theme to string the show together, but you can decide for yourself. If you didn't live through the times the shows were made, you may have to see them a few times to get it all, but you will. They were never very topical and it's funny as hell. All in all, a good purchase.
I taped the series 20+ years ago when it ran for the zillionth time on PBS in Boston. If the whole thing can be snagged on DVD for a fifty these days, maybe it's time to update my collection a bit.

I just got The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus for $50 at Costco. I was wondering what episodes should I start with or should I just have a Monty Python marathon.

3 separate ones, actually. But they were from the same show. You do have to be pretty demented to be able to remember that sort of thing at 2 in the morning.

What can I say? I mean, how can I encapsulate in mere words my scorn for any military solution? The fultility of modern warfare? And the hypocrisy by which contemporary government applies one standard to violence within the community and another to violence perpetrated by one community upon another?

Well I recognize some of these:
pranged his kite (prang: Noun. To have an accident.)
how's your father (how's your father: Noun. Sexual intercourse.)
Hairy blighter (blighter: Noun. Insignificant or objectionable person. )
dicky-birdied (dicky bird: Noun. Rhyming slang for "word". Usually heard in a negative sense.)

fiogf49gjkf0d At present, I'm hunting these multiple artist and song pages (along with everything else), marking them as duplicates and reporting them to Wayne. I've sent him a dozen or so examples already. I'll look into what you've told me...
Well spotted, Pete. I've marked the duplicate Nerf Herder and Annette entries. I'm doing the song pages first, and it'll be a while before I get to the artist and album pages. Annette recorded albums using just the one name, so that's why there might be 2 entries. I'll put them on the list. (but if I could do this myself, I'd be done by now.)
The 'multiple link' business is a programming thing that Wayne will have to look into.
I still haven't heard from him about the other lists. His situation must leave him with no time for this right now. I imagine he's fitting it in as best he can.
And Pete...

fiogf49gjkf0d Maybe, you did, but I still see it on current entries. Look for example at Bobby Pickett on the most recent show. Two listings for MMS-76...Pete
--- Tim P. Ryan
I thought I pointed that out to Wayne on the old site, got it fixed then, I thoguht.
-Tim
--- peterpuck9
Also, I was wondering why if an artist is played multiple times on one show, the show link is listed multiple times. Is that some type of counting mechanism?

fiogf49gjkf0d Right! Editing!
Possible Duplicates (I'll send this to Wayne too):
Two artist entries for Nerf Herder
Artist entries for "Annette" and "Annette Funicello"

My aardvarks fly, you know. In fact, I just got back from the front. Saw it all. Top ho. Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the how's your father. Hairy blighter, dicky-birdied, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie.
--- peterpuck9
Troublemaker, eh? Get out and take your asphalt aardvarks with ya!

(No I don't recall doing this one before. We haven't been going in any particular order, seems randomly based on what comes up in conversation.)
Well, then you would be Stavro "No Sheds" Arrgula. I think we should focus on your editing! I had read that thirty years ago you were interested in train-spotting.

No, no. Look. This shed business -- it doesn't really matter. The sheds aren't important. A few friends call me Two Sheds and that's all there is to it. I wish you'd ask me about the editing. Everybody talks about the sheds. They've got it out of proportion -- I'm a editor. I'm going to get rid of the shed. I'm fed up with it. (mmm- ep. 1. Don't think we've done one from that one before)

Yes, especially while being poked with the soft cushions.
I'm more concerned with it fitting in the wasp infested shed. And fixing the shed doors. You practically have to adopt a carpenter to own a house.
