In case you are wondering whether Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail is still funny (as I recently wondered), let me help you out here. After the first half hour, its really not. Except for the French John Cleese ("I fart in your general direction."), it all sort of peters out after the first 35 minutes. At minute 57, you will turn off the movie, and then start wondering how something that's only 1.5 hours long, can seem so, well, LONG.
This suggests that other things I did when I was 14 may also no longer be enjoyable. But rather than test that question, I am going to avoid Tetris, making out at U2's Rattle and Hum and getting endless soda refills at Pizza Hut in Morristown, NJ, until they close.

This may be problematic, as we are going to see Spamalot when it comes to SF this summer. One of Chris's very good h.s. friends is the asst. stage manager, so we are going to see her more than the show. Still, I hope its funny.
Even the bunny scene isn't funny?
The Trojan bunny? Yes, its funny, but it immediately follows Cleese's French taunting, so it gets the exemption.
