I remember seeing some clip on YouTube once of Graham Chapman's funeral, of the remaining cast and Chapman's partner leading the rest of the congregant in 'Always Look on the Bright Side', in lieu of a hymn.
When I worked at a celebrity heavy sushi restaurant here in Los Angeles I never really bat an eyelash at most of the people who came in for our insanely expensive mayo-doused-sushi. Then one day, I look up and there is Eric Idle at my hostess stand waiting to be sat. It was everything I could do to not quote any Python at him so I just kept staring until another hostess sat him. Nobody knew who he was, and yet there I was freaking out!When he left I let out a very feeble, "byyeeee, Mr. Idle, byeeee."
If it was Michael Palin, thought, I would fainted, fact. #montypython
Michael Palin will always be my favourite. I'm fascinated that he managed to have a vibrant comedy/acting career and then sneak off and turn up later as some sort of cultural David Attenborough. #montypython
@morninggloria: Until the Jezebel I always thought I was strange in that he has been my biggest crush since Junior High (well, him and Bowie...specifically in Labyrinth...ah the youths and their love of curious bulges). Those travel docs he did for the BBC are like porn...I've said too much... #montypython
I believe they brought Chapman's urn to MP's 30th anniversary special - where they pretended like they dropped it and accidentally spilled his ashes, just like how Graham would've wanted it. #montypython
Graham Chapman's penis was the first one I ever saw, courtesy of Life of Brian. And I wish I had a penis of my own and was sharing the afterlife with him so he might possibly want to marry me. He will always be one of my biggest crushes. #montypython
Did anyone catch them on Keith Olbermann last night? Keith got totally flustered at the end when they told him they were huge fans of his and applauded him. It was a really cute, sincere moment. #montypython

The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment. #montypython
