among the numerous extras are: a very well done animated version of the "we're the knights of the round table....." vaudeville musical number using sets and characters entirely constructed from lego pieces (including the poor fellow in the dungeon, clapping his hands to the music); the scene with the french knights "taunting" the british knights, with japansese dialogue and english subtitles (the translations are hysterical), sing alongs, including the lyrics to the scene with monks chanting and smiting themselves with boards, and too much else to mention.

i haven't laughed so hard since i saw the movie the first time.

I like it when they are riding in the forest and Sir Lancelot's companion is making the horse trotting sounds with the coconuts.

Is there a story behind the beer you drink or is just that it tastes better

by JH in

some people drink a certain beer because they really find that it's the best tasting beer on the market, while others drink what their friends or spouse drinks and see no difference, no matter what beer they drink.. when i first started drinking beer when i was in my teens, i drank what my parents had at home.

free beer .

honestly, i used to drink labatts but a friend initiated me to budlight, and i really love that beer now.

Those crazy annointed

i knew several of the annointed over my life.. once when working door to door we were rejected and the annointed brother said loudly as we were leaving, "he will make good fertilizer for the ground after armageddon.

the annointed brother i worked with as a little kid used to take me to dairy queen on hot summer days to drink out of the water fountain at the back.. one brother who claimed to be of the annointed worked at the equal opportunity agency.. one guy about my age who i was friends with at bethel discovered he was of the annointed a few years ago, many years after he was baptized.

i think people will continue to make this discovery forever.. one annointed guy used to rub my knuckles together whenever he shook my hand and also used to grip my knee joint very hard, both hurt a lot.

The one in our old hall was know for asking all the young single brothers, "Do you have a problem with masturbation?"

It became a right of passage... "Did Maurice ask you THE question?"

What Things Did You Never Really Comprehend As A Witness?

i never could clearly explain the "faithful slave's domestics", as the watchtower tries to.

i would quote the publications but i did not believe that the explanation was at all satisfactory......was there anything you just couldn't "get"?

Yeah I couldn't understand the whole no celebrating birthdays. Being a mom and all, the birth of my children was what I was most proud of and couldn't understand why you wouldn't want to celebrate that.

When I questioned this, I was given the standard "there are only two birthdays mentioned in the bible and at both someone died and jesus said a man's death is more important than his birth because then you know what kind of person he was."

My response to this was, "maybe those birthday parties got into the bible because something extraordinary happened, maybe it was more of a, "oh my god you wouldn't believe the party I went to last night...." but the jw's interpreted it as one more thing you can't celebrate. As far as the day of death being more important, I said, "as my kid's mom I think I play an important role in who he/she is going to grow up to be, so I will celebrate the day they arrived."

Funny, I never got a satisfactory argument to my responses. Maybe I just like to party...

Have you ever got up in the middle of a meeting, bored, and just left?

i did it many times.

first of all, let me say that just about every meeting i attended was a sacrifice for me.

i was a follower, not more.

I remember one particular Sunday meeting. I really didn't want to go. Since it was a nice New England fall day, my husband didn't comment when I wore my long rain coat. However, we arrived a the hall (late as usual) and sat down. A few minutes in, my husband leaned over and said why don't you take your coat off. I said, "I can't I'm naked". Needless to say, we didn't stay for very long.

Good times, good times....
