Oh dear, do you know nothing of the classics? They're from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I am sorry, I remember more about the Jabberwocky.. but I couldn't quote anything from it!
You need to chat with Jack in MotMV, he is a pythonist as is GodBen!

I'm not that rabid a fan, really, but Holy Grail and Life of Brian are fantastic. The relevant scene was where the Knights cannot stand to hear the word 'it' and tell Arthur not to say 'that word' to which he replies, 'What, "it"?' You just reminded me of it.
And I think I can recite the entire Jabberwocky poem.

Okay, this is, I promise, from memory. And to any moderators, Lewis Carroll's probably out of copyright now.
'Twas brillig and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock my son,
The teeth that bite and claws that catch,
Beware the Jub-Jub bird and shun,
The frumious Bandersnatch.'
He took his Vorpal Sword in hand,
Long time the Manxsome foe he sought,
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came.
One two! One two! and through and through,
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead and with its head,
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms my beamish boy,
O frabjous day, calooh, calaay!
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
I know what quite a few of the words mean, too.

I checked it and there's a few misspellings, but otherwise okay.
It's clearly high time I was abed. G'night.

What kind of pie is it? I wish to become a Thursdayite, because although I can never get the hang of Thursdays, I've come to expect that.
