    I can't be the only Eddie Izzard fan out there! How 'bout it?

    Some of his bits:

    "Here we go: Don't do bad things, only do good things. Always treat your neighbour like someone who lives near to you. Never put a sock in a toaster. Never put jam on a magnet. Never throw your granny in a bag. Never suck all the juice out of a bag. Never lean over on a Tuesday. *puff* Lots of other things...but I have to go get a Mars Bar....Love...Paul...Brackets: Saint."

    "I will send a flood and kill everything! Start again. I think it was the etch-a-sketch end of the world! ... I will kill everything except the floating ones and the swimming ones who will get out due to a loophole."

    "So, um, the New Testament. That was the short beard testament, I think"

    "It's sort of human, isn't it? Being complete bastards. "

    "I don't believe that religions are religions. No! I believe they're philosophies with some good ideas and some f****** weird ones."

    "Three major religions, one holy city. Couldn't they have just spread it out a bit? "You have Aqaba, we'll have Moscow, you can have Dover." "

    "Anyway, Jesus, this historical figure, he's in Christianity. Christianity is his best film. That's where he was The Son of God. Starring Jesus as the Son of God. Where he said that famous line, "Take your hands off her, you b****." Or was that Aliens? Cos they're very similar, the Christian faith and Aliens. "


    "Created the world in six days. Seventh day, rested. Eighth day actually, rested as well. Ninth day, rested. Cos I'd just f****** made a world, ya know? Tenth day, rested. Actually, I rested from then on. 14th day, I decided to smoke all the maijuana I had created...Just to test the first batch. On the 15th day, I decided to smoke all the opium I had created...Just to test the first batch. And on the 309th day, I woke up again and then I decided to create 500 huge monsters I'd seen just the night before."

    ""Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." *dinosaur roar* "Alright, we'll cross that one out. Cos THEY won't mind."

    I happen to be a rabid Eddie Izzard fan, but I only have one DVD of his - a stand up special where he talks about conquering places by the use of flags. I must have played it 100 times and still laugh my ass off each time.

    Thanks to the friend who introduced me to this guy (?). Where can I find more?

    He is a fun guy. I have the movie All The Queen's Men, a WWII flick. Eddie Izzard, Matt Le Blanc, and bunch of guys dress in drag to invade a Nazi munitions factory that only employs women. Not a "classic" that will be remembered for hundreds of years, but fun to kill time to.

    Yes ... that was Dressed to Kill. Here is a transcript, though it is not as funny as seeing him perform it ...http://www.auntiemomo.com/cakeordeath/d2ktranscription.html#history

    He has several other DVDs (5 or 6). They have them all at amazon pretty cheap. I am going to check eBay too, though.

    oh, i sooo worship at the temple of eddie izzard!!! he was also phenomenal in 'mystery men', as charlie chaplin in 'the cat's meow', and the only good thing, imo, in 'oceans 12'..

    i had 3rd row seats for his 'sexie' tour a couple of years ago, and he was sooo good!!...hubby knows that he is on my "list", because i'm a sucker for smart, funny transvestites from yemen!!

    I just saw a news report saying Englebert Humperdink has died....

    ig.

    naaah, only joking...

    It absolutely cracked me up when he did this "Just heard Englebert Humperdink died" after the interval of one of his shows. Actually, it sounds a bit sick just written here in cold black and white, but it was very funny - trust me. One of those things where you just had to be there I suppose. He kept it up for about 15 minutes, with the "only joking - no seriously" hand gestures.

    Jesus - I wish I hadn't started this now! I'm trying to describe a visual gag on a message board. D'OH

    pEddie Izzard is a comic genious, his knowledge regarding history is unfailing. He gives a grand performance on the cable special " Dressed To Kill ". He's hillarious in his costume and make up and as transvestites go, he actually will make even the straightest of menzz, spew their beer from laughter.
