I noticed the tendancy for Python to abuse cats in the grail.. I also
noted a supreme lack of horses in the movie... I know there is one
(the knight chopping of the historian's head is riding it), but
somebody told me there was another. I have watched The Grail numerous
times and I'll be damned if I can find it...
Has anyone else out there seen this mysterious other horse???

The easiest way is to buy Whizzo Chocolate's Valentine's Day box, and
throw out everything but the marshmallow ones (marshmallow, banana
slug, and tubercular mucus, coated with Austrian bittersweet
chocolate).  But relax - St. Mungo's Day is in mid-January, so you've
got plenty of time.

Status: R

      As the grand high wizard of the Coventry branch of Freemasons, I would
just like to add my voice to the growing number of complaints about all this
"SEX" talk on alt.fan.monty-python. Lets get back to the good old days, when
letters were suitable for family reading with none of this smut and filth
and we discussed parrots and lumberjacks and lemon curry.
 
      I should'nt need to bribe you with any of the usual garbage, such as
sex to keep you reading my letter. I've never once had to stoop to mentioning
any kind of sex you'll be glad to have noticed. I've not had to resort to
keeping you entertained with indiscreet glimpses into the bed or bathroom to
keep your eyes on the screen. Oh no, sir, and now do you see how unnecessary
page after page of sexy talk and writing is in letters.
      I don't know why the writers stoop to putting such things in, surely
its only to keep people reading their letters and yet you arn't taken in by
such smutty talk. Are you? To read a letter succesfully to the end, you
don't have to be titillated with little glimpses of Gina Goff's silken thigh
as she discreetly drops her dressing gown and steps naked onto the bathrug.
You don't need to see her run her fingers carelessly through her long blond 
hair, or watch the fine tanned muscles in her back moving lightly and easily
under the effort.
      Not for you, surely, the neccessity to see her standing under the shower
in the fine full nakedness of a young woman of twenty. To fell the splash of
the warm water tingling against her firm skin, to watch her hair dampening,
and falling in long coils across her firm bosoms, to feel her nipples becoming
firm with the kiss of the shower, her body arching up into the warmth, losing
herself in the sensual feel of the water, pushing her thighs towards the 
tingle of the spray, the damp hair rubbing roughly against the soap in her
hands, as she covers her body in the sensuous warm glow, and feels her very
soul alive with excitement. Only then did she become aware of Jester's naked
body in the shower beside her. No, this is not for you. Of course not. You 
don't need such cheep ploys of snoddy writing to keep you reading. Not for 
you, a sense of disapointment when the dirty stuff ends, and the quick move
to the next letter to see where the next love story begins. You're not that
sort of person I can tell. You wouldn't be even slightly interested in
sending 20 pounds sterling to me (or 10 pounds for masons), to get the full 
story, illustrated with over 50 full colour photographs of Gina's naked body. 
You don't care that the address is 'Behind the hot water pipes,  3rd washroom 
along, Victoria Station, London, UK.'. And your'e certainly not about to cum 
in your pants...Excuse me a moment..... Now lets get back to python.
