Monty Python’s Birthing Sketch

For Make Me Laugh Monday, hosted by Absolutely Bananas, here is Monty Python’s Birthing Sketch.

I just love these guys. We used to watch MP’s Flying Circus on PBS every Sunday night when I was in junior high.

is it hot enough for you? take my weather survey!

We’re having potentially record-breaking weather today and tomorrow in this region of the country. Unlike some sun-worshippers I know, upper 80’s is just toooo hot for me now.

a fiery Mother’s Day dessert

The hubs never goes a normal route. His Mother’s Day feast was no exception.
The main course began normally enough, rotisserie grilled Cornish hens, corn on the cob and salad, but the dessert….

is it voyeurism if….

it was two of these?

I didn’t MEAN to invade anyone’s privacy, especially a red-breasted sapsucker’s (although, they ARE doing it in PLAIN SIGHT).
The binoculars just happened to be around my neck at the time.
It was a quickie (or, perhaps that was normal speed…), and then there was some post-coital, solo feather pruning. [...]
