This is part of a wry joke at the expense of LISPers and lambda calculators:
"... the heretic is chained in the dungeon where he is forced to learn Common Lisp on a Commodore 64 and interact with rapacious Lemmy-ings and Mastodonians."

Bravely bold Sir Donald
Rode forth from ScamAlot
He was not afraid to lie,
Oh brave Sir Donald
He was not at all afraid
To be grilled in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave
brave Sir Donald
🎶
For he was not
in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out
and his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split
and his body burned away
And his limbs
all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Donald
🎶
Brave Sir Donald ran away
Bravely ran away away
When perjury reared
it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail
and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Donald
turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Swiftly taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave
I BLAME MONTY PYTHON for being a philosophy nerd & my metabolism for being a night owl.
twas 10-11pm, mid-1970s Puerto Rico. was ±10 and already an insomniac. so i turn on, my tiny hand-me-down B&W tv, to the local local PBS; which was the only station with programing at that hour.
this is what i saw: Monty Python's "International Philosophy" aka the philosophers' soccer match.
twas my first Monty Python episode and, to this day, my all time favorite one.
"Hegel is arguing that reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically, it exists only in the imagination and Marx is claiming it was offside".
Yesterday, while I lay in bed exhausted by malfunctioning guts, I further punished myself by watching the movie Yellowbeard on Tubi. I wanted to see it because it featured a couple of the Monty Python crew as well as Cheech and Chong, but holy shit, is it ever terrible. The acting itself wasn’t bad, but there wasn’t a single funny joke in the entire show. I didn’t crack a smile even once. Rape jokes were a running gag throughout the film. I have to wonder about the female actors in the film. What incredibly awful roles they had. I guess it was a paycheque for them, at least. The only female character who wasn’t the subject of rape jokes was a little girl of about seven, and the big joke about her was when she got kicked into a pile of trash in an alley. Just wow. #Yellowbeard#Rape#RapeCulture#MontyPython#movies#CheechAndChong
Doune Castle in Doune, north-west of Stirling. It's a fine castle built in the late 1300s that featured in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail; as Castle Leoch in Outlander; and as Winterfell in the pilot episode of Game of Thrones.
