A while back billy and I traded lines from Monty Python.
billy also sent me pictures of "Monty Python's Holy Grail" beer, (with the "Gr" crossed out).
Here's one of them.
Well,
In the mail on Friday, was a package from billy via Bogie .
I had no idea what was in it.
There was a box, inside a box, inside a box. Everything was covered in packing peanuts and bubble wrap. By the time I got to the "innerds" of the whole thing, I found my very own bottle of "Monty Python's Holy Grail" (with the "Gr" crossed out) beer. "Tempered over burning witches".
You could have knocked me over with a packing peanut. Speachless. I just stood there like a grinning idiot. ( I know, most people think I do that with out help.)
Now how COOL is that. I can't wait to take it to the Dudette's work and show it off to another Monty Python fan there.
When the pictures come in of me with the bottle, I will have to post them.
Thanks billy. I seriously owe you one for the beer. This is SO cool, I'm afraid to drink the beer. Don't want to hurt the cap or anything.
Glad it got there all in one piece!

...big thanks to bogie :^)...[and thanks to ws for not trying it :^)]...once I realised that the beer was a 'one off' I realised that you would enjoy a 'limited edition' python bottle of beer...enjoy :^)...

What is a "one off"?

...they aren't doing it again as far as I can tell...they made "one batch" and that's your lot!!...we were fortunate that I stumbled across a selection...although now we've bought the entire amount they might decide to make some more...over here for christmas last year they produced a wine called "fat bastard"...it was so popular they have continued and expanded the line introducing a wine called "old git"...if you ever hold a "bring a bottle party" you end up with several of these left at the end :^)...

How cool, a speciality beer. I hope they run some more though. I believe the Python fans over here would buy it up if they exported it, or found a bottler over here.

What a great bottle.
BTW, it's nice to have found a "homeboy" in the blogosphere.

I'm still waiting for the pictures of WD opening the box!

For some reason, that roll of film is still in the camera. It's a 36 exposure roll and that picture was, like #3 on the roll. It should be used up soon and I promise to get it developed as soon as it is out of the camera. I hate keeping everyone waiting.
I'll have to get a digital one of these days to make it easier to post "current" pics. First though, I need to replace this boat anchor of a PC.
