Re: RIP Terry Jones.
Hmmmm. Bummer.
The stuff he did in The Life of Brian will always crack me up. Very funny guy.
I have the entire Flying Circus collection on DVD. I'm getting close to sitting through that. Anybody remember the Colonial Tennis match?

I have the entire Flying Circus collection permanently burned into my memory. We use to recite the entire script for "...Grail". The others too.
Rest In Peace, funny man. Thank you for all the belly laughs.

Re: RIP Terry Jones.
Jones was my favorite member of the Pythons; Cleese and Palin were arguably the funniest performers, but Jones' writing and direction endeared him most to me. The animations of Gilliam aside, Jones' contributions were always the most surreal, the most cartoonish; it was that humor that appealed to me most in Python.

WARNING: The last scene made me cry.
After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in English, Jones and writing partner Michael Palin (whom he met at Oxford) wrote and performed for several high-profile British comedy programs, including Do Not Adjust Your Set and The Frost Report, before creating Monty Python's Flying Circus with Cambridge graduates Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Graham Chapman, and American animator/filmmaker Terry Gilliam. Jones was largely responsible for the program's innovative, surreal structure, in which sketches flowed from one to the next without the use of punchlines. He made his directorial debut with the team's first film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which he co-directed with Gilliam, and also directed the subsequent Python films, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life.
