calimacHow much of a fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail am I?
Well, there was the time I was in a hotel ballroom at Mythcon which was being set up for a stage presentation I'd be participating in later that day. At one point the technicians asked me to speak into the microphone to test it. I walked up and opened my mouth with no idea what I was about to say.
What came out was, "Look: strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."
So last night I was attending a small social gathering and one of the other attendees was describing a radio station trivia contest she once took part in. Explaining how it worked, she said, "They ask you five questions ..."
And I instantly interjected, "Three questions."
Again, I had no idea I was going to say this.

re: spontaneous spoutings of Holy Grail
