I'm Not Dead Yet Either
During a flight Saturday evening I was listening to Delta Airlines' CD selections. One bright spot was finding the soundtrack for Spamalot. It was in the Jazz section, which is amusingly indicative of the overall Delta Airlines experience. OK, it's amusing just to me…can we move on?
I had forgotten about the fantastic ballad Brave Sir Robin, which is available for your listening pleasure here. (Note that due to my iTunes linking incompetence this is the version from the film rather than the musical soundtrack and you'll have to scroll down the page to find the appropriate link.) When Denise and I saw Spamalot, David Hyde Pierce was Sir Robin. As you listen to the song think of him in that role with a look on his face somewhere between bemusement and mild constipation. Can you see why this was a Tony award winning musical?
Anyway, I listened to the song about forty eight times. That's not much of an exaggeration -- I'm very easily amused. I snorted the first time I heard one specific line and chuckled, snickered, or laughed each of the next forty seven times. Can you guess which line it is?
I will provide a fantastic prize* to the first commenter correctly identifying my favorite method of death that Sir Robin did not fear. Are you excited?
* Of course the prize will be a can of Spam, in spite of the fact that it is neither delicious nor animal. If you want good prizes, visit Gabby.

My guess is that it either "his nostrils raped" or "his bottom burned off". It could be "his bowels unplugged" but as I listened I felt that was glossed over a bit.
My vote is bowels. It's all much better when you sing it though. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Daniel.
one entry per person mo. which one are you going with?
very funny deb. i'm certain matthew would not agree.
Uhh for the record Deb, I did not "take" bowels. Daniel can keep his own bowels, particularly if they've been unplugged.
In that case I will have to go with the raping of the nostrils.
contest remains open until the end of the week so that all the many delicious animals readers may enter.
Nostrils...I would have to say the part about the nostrils
Lisa just wants the spam. We all know that spam intake is the real reason she looks so good in spandex workout clothes.
Yes. I do want the SPAM. I never thought that SPANDEX would be a requirement for a job interview - but I have proven myself wrong. Now who wins??
patience grasshopper.
