...to cheer when Sir Robin(a.k.a. Clay Aiken) gets tossed into the Gorge of Eternal Peril?

No, in fact I will cheer with you.:)

They need to replace Clay Aiken with someone else. Clay as Sir Robin, no, just no....

...to cheer when Sir Robin(a.k.a. Clay Aiken) gets tossed into the Gorge of Eternal Peril?

No, go right ahead.
I'll join in depending on how apathetic I feel / if I even watch it.

Not only are they not using Eric Idle, a blood-relative, or a perfect clone to play Sir Robin, they're using a person who had no idea what Monty Python was and thought it was stupid?

I think a part of me just died.

I hope it was my appendix.

That is the second thing to make me laugh all day. Thanks, LG!
You may cheer as loudly as you want.

i'll join in. and i'll be on hand to stamp on his fingers should he manage to claw his way back up.

First, you must ask him three questions...

I hope not... since I'm cheering at the image right now...

who would you prefer he play... Robin's Minstrals?

[imagines Clay Aiken singing]
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped

And his bottom burnt off
And his penis...

[*head explodes*]

Perez Hilton posted highlights from that interview, and I found this even more hilarious:

""How did you get into a fight with that lady on a plane?
I'm not going to talk about it.

I was just curious because you've never talked about it.
I did talk about it.

What about the Kelly Ripa thing?
I'm not going to discuss it.

Did you think it was homophobic?
I'm not going to discuss it.

What do you want to talk about?
I think we're done.

Can we talk about something fun?
No, we're done. I thought NEWSWEEK would be more reputable. I'm surprised.

But I think people are curious about it.
It was a year ago. This is NEWSWEEK. It's not the National Enquirer. I'd hate to have a job where I had to be rude to people.

We're just having a conversation.
Change the subject!"

Poor Gayken, fighting so hard to stay in the closet. Why he bothers when he has such a prominent case of gayface (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gayface) (and after his gay personal ad was uncovered), boggles the mind.

First, you must ask him three questions...

Pfft... at least get the tone right...

*cackles* First ye must ask he, these Questions Three...

:p

Indeed - I'll shoot myself later :)

This was cut from the film, after they'd crossed the bridge:

*** Note: The following bit was cut from the movie. ***

(Arthur and Bedevere approach a gigantic lake.
A boat in the shape of a dragon glides slowly
towards them. As they prepare to cross, the
same old man suddenly appears before them.)

Boat-keeper: STOP!
He who would cross the Sea of Fate
Must answer me these questions twenty-eight!

(Arthur and Bedevere look at each other. They look
at the old man. They look back at each other. They
pick the old man up, throw him in the water, and board
the ship.)

No need to shoot yourself. just find someone to administer the spanking.

I remember reading/hearing that somewhere! :p

who is this retard anyway? and why is he named after fine grain mud?

No it wouldn't.

"I thought it was a person"?


Are you kidding me?

I thought it was (actually I thought it was homage to someone...) and this was way back in the late 60's...

"I thought it was a person"?

Not only justifiable, but required.

I've never heard of the idiot before, but after reading his quote:

"I thought Monty Python was a person until three months ago," Aiken told Newsweek

I agree he should be disposed of & quickly. :p

It's dumb, but not quite as dumb as Avril Lavigne declaring herself this generation's "Sid Vicious" (despite not being able to play bass or be a self-destructive fucktard), and then not knowing who the Sex Pistols were.

I hope she has a heroin addiction at least! :eek:

And ironically, he'll be nailed on "What is Your Favorite Color?" in a panic trying to keep himself locked in the closet.

Would it be wrong of me...
...to think of Clay Aiken as a literal clone of Barry Mannilow with only slightly less sex appeal {perhaps they missed a few genetic sequences)?

No, but I'm bookmarking your post for Engineering Week. This was a question on last year's scavenger hunt.
So you're only a nerd if I am a nerd.

No, but it would be wrong not to toss him!

What an idiot. People like this should be charged for breathing our precious oxygen!

Seeing as it’s one of the most oft-quoted lines from one of the most referenced comedy films in celluloid history, a resounding ‘no’ is the only answer available.

Spamalot has always felt like a money-spinner rather than anything else; the OP merely confirms the suspicion.
