And now for something completely different!

I wrote this during a conversation with vandonovan about how well Vila and Avon would fit into the Monty Python universe. So if you know both famdoms, here's...

The Lumberjack, sorry, Rebel Song

Avon:

I'm a computer tech and I'm all right.
I work all day and I work all night.

I program Zen. I eat my lunch.
I snark so wittily,
and with my other hand
I'll make a gadget before tea.

Vila:

I'm a master thief and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I nap all day.

I crack safes. I drink my lunch.
I feel all at sea.
And I'm always hoping
for some security.

Avon:

I'm a computer tech and I'm all right.
I work all day and I play all night.

I wear thigh boots with big high heels,
and underneath, black lace.
I always wear a girdle,
and like to paint my face.


Crew:

He wears thigh boots with big high heels,
and underneath, black lace???!!!???

[talking]
He wears a girdle?
Yes, couldn't you tell?
Knew about the lippie, but black lace? LACE???
And I thought he was a hard bastard!

Vila:

He's a computer tech and he's okay.
He snarks all night and he snarks all day.

He shoots big guns, minces and smirks,
and rolls in yellow flowers.
He wears kinky leather
and mirror-poses for hours.

Crew:

Ohhhhh, he's a rebel tech and he's all right.
He snarks all day and he snarks all night.

LOL! Still funny the ... well you probably don't want to know how many times I read the original thread.

I sang it to Cory and he got a good laugh out of it too! Well done!

Ahahaha really? I'm delighted I've spread some joy!

I want the rest of it, where the crew starts going, "He wears thigh boots with big high heels . . . and underneath, black lace?!?!?!"

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

There's so much repetition in the original, I didn't do the whole thing. I'll see what I can do.

[communicator.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, well done indeed. 'I crack safes. I drink my lunch' Excellent.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Some lines don't scan quite right, but I wrote it fairly quickly.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

I missed that the first time round, Brava !!!!!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It was in comments and they collapsed. :-)

Thanks!

Heheee. That's great. I watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OHzKjLKKY8 the other day and LOLed.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I love that one! I've had it saved in my playlist since I first saw it. It's brilliantly edited, and just sooooo funny!

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Oh perfect, just perfect!!!
*Claps hands*

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You know Monty Python? It's a very English wit. :-)

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

I know Monty Python, we were fortunate because they were on TV , late at night but with perfect subtitles, someone translated it masterly! f course I missed some, also the films, but I do have a gist and I love them!
Watching the MP without a translation however means losing 2/3 of the wits:-):-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They have a humour that doesn't date! I should get the DVDs out and watch some more. My father and I loved them so much, but my mother used to be puzzled and say, "It's silly!" which made us laugh more.

[pet-lunatic.livejournal.com]

Genius! :D Especially 'I drink my lunch'. Ah, Vila <3 Don't worry, Avon - you can wear lace and still be a hard bastard!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He can indeed! :-D

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!!!!!
That leather has hid a multitude of sins!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Suspenders and black lace!
