The First Week Of Pythonalia Honoraria

 

Welcome to the first week of our SUPER time, “Pythonalia Honoraria” where we will spend four weeks celebrating the four Honorary Pythons.  This week, week one, we will start with Ian MacNaughton, famed director of most of the tele episodes and the Pythons first feature length movie.  

Please open your Hymnal to page 3 and join in our processional  “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” Verse 1

O LORD, please don’t burn us,   Don’t grill or toast your flock,

Don’t put us on the barbecue,  Or simmer us in stock,

Don’t braise or bake or boil us,  Or stir fry us in a wok. 

Thank you for the somber rendition of our Processional, we will be looking at a new problem with illegals “in country”, so the appropriate music is always important for the proper tone.  

Now please open The Holy Text volume 1 to episode 16 page 218 where the prophets say …

First Hermit

Still there's one thing about being a hermit, at least you meet people.

Second Hermit

Oh yes, I wouldn't go back to public relations.

First Hermit

Oh well, bye for now Frank, must toddle.

Colonel

(coming on) Right, you two hermits, stop that sketch. I think it's silly.

Second Hermit

What?

Colonel

It's silly.

Second Hermit

What do you mean, you can't stop it - it's on film.

Colonel

That doesn't make any difference to the viewer at home, does it? Come on, get out. Out. Come on out, all of you. Get off, go on, all of you. Go on, move, move. Go on, get out. Come on, get out, move, move.

He shoos them and the film crew off the hillside.

Open your hymnal to page 5 and join us in singing “Dennis Moore” verse 1

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,  Galloping through the sward
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,  And his horse Concorde
He steals from the rich,  And gives to the poor
Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore

Now please open The Holy Text volume 2 to episode 26 page 30 where the prophets say … Dennis Moore

Voice Over

Our first contestant is a hairdresser from...

A shot rings out and the contestant falls to the floor. Applause.
Cut to a camp highwayman in a pink mask who blows smoke from a gun and puts it back in the holster.

Highwayman

I never did like that kind of person... !

A shot rings out. He dies. Cut to Dennis Moore on a horse blowing smoke from gun and putting it in his holster. He gallops off. We see him swooping down, after a couple of riding shots, on another stagecoach.

Moore

Halt! Halt! (the stage comes to a halt and the occupants get out rapidly, their hands held high) Gentlemen, ladies, bring out your valuables please. Come along sir, come along. Come along, madam, come along. Oh, is that all you've got ... well, he's got much more than you ... so you'd better have some of his ... (transfers money from one passenger to another, dropping some)... sorry... pick them up in a moment... there's about oh, what, nine down there... so you must have about... oh, he's still got lots... oh you've got what? ... you've got more than he started with... so if I give you some of those (transferring more coins) ... well now, look ... have you got a bit of jewellery? If I give you that one and you have some of his coins (the credits start, superimposed) ... is that another box? Were you trying to hide it? Well, that's nice! Right! Now. I've got a tiara ... you've got one... you've got one of the boxes... you've got one... anyone else got a tiara? Take your hat off! (passenger does so to reveal a tiara)... Oh, honestly, it's absolutely pointless trying to do this if you're going to cheat. It really is awful of you;.. (fade out)

Homily  Parishioners, as we start Pythonalia Honoraria, our yearly remembrance of those who assisted the prophets in their transmission of the faith I thought it apropos to take a varied look at the constant menace of “migrants” in our midst.  Rather than dwell on the usual sort of thing like an outbreak of Dysentery at the Mecca for Migrants Portland OR (https://www.koin.com/news/oregon/dysentery-cases-rise-in-portland-metro-area-health-department-reports/), I thought I would examine the Migrants fascination with trains. 

Here in America, our “South of the Border” migrants show a predictable fascination with trains – they like to rob them (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-23/freight-train-heists-targeting-nike-merchandise-are-probed-as-related)!  Naturally these “desperados” tend to get caught and when that happens the inevitably turn out to be part of some cartel or another and it is all past of some larger criminal enterprise.  The focus on trains is interesting though as “migrants” in other lands also enjoy trains, but for a different crime. 

A recent study showed that in France 63% of all sexual assaults on trains in France are perpetrated by “immigrants” (https://rmx.news/article/france-63-of-those-arrested-for-sexual-assault-and-92-for-petty-theft-in-public-transport-were-foreigners/).  I was unaware that France had so many sexual assaults going on that they kept sperate stats on WHERE the sexual assault takes place, but be that as it may, for all of France’s vaunted “public transportation”, it looks like it may be only safe for men these days. 

Lest me think that this is just some “transitory event”, or oversexed “French problem”, it turns out that a similar study was done in Germany where it was discovered that 59% of all sex crimes in trains and train stations were made by “immigrants” (https://rmx.news/article/germany-foreigners-commit-59-of-all-sexual-crimes-in-trains-and-train-stations-sexual-crimes-double-since-2019/).  Once again leaving aside the fact that there are so many sexual assaults in Germany that they also feel the need to break down where they are happening, The vast majority of these sexual assaults are once again being perpetrated by “immigrants”.  Perhaps the French and German governments will rename their “Public Transportation” system in honor of the reality for their honest ridership?  May I suggest “Pubic Transportation” so as to remind anyone who uses it what they can expect? 

Amen

Please join us in our recessional on page 3 of your hymnal “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” second verse. 

Oh Please don’t lightly poach us,  Or Baste us with hot fat,

Don’t fricassee or roast us,    Or boil us in a vat,

And please don’t stick thy servants, Lord,  In a Rotissomat.
