This just tickles my cross-dressing fancy to no end, and I will give you three guesses (though chances are you only need one) as to where this came from... Oh, sure, I know three Norwegians, but only one passes me comics on a regular basis
This of course REMINDED me of my very favorite depiction of Romans in EXISTENCE....
And I thought you needed some You Tube Links to my favorite scenes:
The Stoning
Biggus Dickus
And the one all writers should love best: Romans Go Home
I so love Life of Brian! It is brilliant. My favorite scene is the 'What have Romans ever done for us' scene.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Friday morning smiles, Hart!
ReplyDeleteTed-that is my favorite, too--I probably also should have included the 'but what have the Romans done for us?' bit...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth!
Monty Python is great!
ReplyDeleteHistory of the World has some great Roman scenes, too.
I was impressed by your translation from Norwegian >:)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, do you read the Asterix comics?
Cold As Heaven
Alex-it's been AGES since I watched History of the World. I tried to get my son to watch it a while back, but he resisted.
ReplyDeleteCaH--Oh, I didn't translate... that would be Mari... as to Asterix comics... see... my comic reading is mostly limited to what people send me. I love them, so I have no clue why I don't seek them out... but somehow I only get them when a friend passes them to me...
That comic's great! Can't wait to share it! Love the Bigus Dickus too."He has a wife, you knoww..." And the Hebrews on the ground laughing at him "Woger? Do we have a Woger in custody?"
ReplyDeleteThese were great! Thanks for a good Friday morning laugh or four.
ReplyDeleteOH! i heart the stoning scene so much! It is so full of win!
ReplyDeleteahhh, good times!

ReplyDeleteLove this! Thanks for the LOLs, Hart.
ReplyDeleteLove me some Monty Python, but I'm alone with that quest in this house. How did that happen?
ReplyDeleteWill--definitely love the lisp: Woderwick?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
Sarah--the double cross-dressing particularly pleases me... men dressed as women dressed as men *snort* Though Shakespeare did if first.
Carolyn--how many in your household? Hubby tolerates it, but my kids have been indoctrinated from a YOUNG age. Son had an "I fart in your general direction' t-shirt as a 2nd grader.
Wild guess: Cruella??? Good one, baby!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Monty Python. Man, they knew their stuff.
B
The Middle Ages
"You are the true messiah, and I should know I've followed a few!"
ReplyDeleteI'll be quoting all day now. Awesome.
:) Ah, Cruella. What a nicely chosen comic for you!
ReplyDeleteThe "Romans go home" scene is absolutely my favourite. Latin might be easier to learn if we all had to do it at swordpoint. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the scene where the Roman Centurion (Cleese) corrects Brian's ungrammatical anti-Roman Latin graffiti.
ReplyDeleteI love monty python!!! Very funny stuff.
ReplyDeleteomg, Monty Python is so freakin hilarious--LOL! :D thank you, dahlin~
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these, they are so funny! Also, thank you for your wonderful comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteCD
That was so funny, the comic and the Monty Python. Needed a laugh today. =)
ReplyDeleteI say, listen to the Norwegians and ban all high heels!
ReplyDeleteAwww Life of Brian ROCKS!! My absolute favourite Monty Python!!!
ReplyDelete"He is not the son of God, he's a very naughty boy!" OH classic!!!!
Thanks for cheering me up!
p.s. you can read Norwegian?!!? WOW!!
Take care

I should clarify... the cartoon came WITH a translation. Mari and I established today that when I try to fake Norwegian, I come up with mostly Swedish: Bork, borgen borgen ingen flingen... only ingen is actually a Norwegian word... (pretends the rest was Swedish because mari told me it was *shifty*)
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone enjoyed them!
Hart - I married a Norwegian 13+ years ago AND moved to a 99.5% (estimated) Norwegian community. As long as you use the phrase "uff da" once a day, they'll take you in.
ReplyDeleteerica
Erica- that is probably where my grandma moved FROM (or near)--she was from northern Iowa, but I know the big pockets are in Minnesota. In fact my Norwegian writing friend (the original one--Mari--there are several more now) had a sister living in the town my family came from when I first met her (Bergen, for the curious)--you also much be used to the Sven and Ollie jokes? That was what my cousin picked up on his family reunion visit (because he was a boy and got the GOOD conversation, apparently)
ReplyDeleteLove these pics of the Romans. That's all hilarious about the Norwegians - 'uff da'..:)
ReplyDeleteHehehe, very funny! Will be showing this to the other half when he gets home...
ReplyDeleteThanks Hart!
