Welcome to the Insanity that is My Family

So, in my family, we are all HUGE Monty Python fans. I guess it is just all part of being raised by an Australian.

I understand that this kind of humor is somewhat of an acquired taste (for Americans, in particular). But if you ever want to see any member of the Sudweeks clan in absolute fits of laughter, just sit us down in front of anything starring John Cleese or Michael Palin, and pure hilarity is almost guaranteed.

Well, my sister, Blythe, and her boyfriend, Easton, are currently backpacking across western Europe (They even managed to visit the foothills of Mount Tibidabo. $20 to the person who knows what that is referencing.)

So, of course, while they were in Scotland, they had to stop at Doune Castle. This castle is the location where they filmed a famous scene from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," in which King Arthur and his knights have a confrontation with some silly French guards.

And, so of course, Blythe had to re-enact part of this scene (hence, the French accent).

Most of you will probably not find this re-enactment to be funny in the least. In fact, it may cause some of you to think that there is a strain of mild retardation that runs in my family. 

All I can say is, I have never been more proud to call Blythe my sister.

Ha! I can't believe you posted that! I'm so embarrassed...but I also think I'm kinda hilarious. :P

It has been way too long since I've talked to you! We finally have reliable internet again, and Easton informed me today that you posted my ridiculous behavior for everyone to see. All I can say is...you empty-headed animal food trough wiper!

And by the way, you KNOW I'd win that $20. It's a moo point.

Karina's comment is actually a little disturbing if you understand what she's talking about.
