Toulouse Le Grandfig’s Summer Vacation: Kiss-meat
SS Plotkin, circa. 1901
I separate the mists of time like the Great Jabber Monkey’s own cosmic speculum.
The Fates glare at me as I slowly walk up the gangway: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos.
“You cannot avoid your destiny,” Clotho says to me, her sea-cap at a jaunty angle.
“No,” Lachesis affirmed. “There is no escape.”
“Arf!” said Atropos, and then piddled on Clotho’s gaberdine cruiseware.

And still, I travel…

Thank god somebody is on top of this!
Alltop doesn’t see the problem.
I hate it when I get an attack of the Arrr-Jim-Lads
Surreal enough for you? Spike Milligan was a genius.
I’ll be featuring Milligan clips all week here at The Skwib. Many fans of Monty Python will know that Milligan was hugely influential on their comedy, but you can read more about it at Wikipedia if you don’t.
