Believe it or not, from the New York Times...

FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY

By THOMAS MEEHAN
APRIL 18, 1976

Not even the younger viewers are neglected by the Pythons.

Introduced by tinkly music and an animated sequence of gamboling bunny rabbits, a warmly smiling Python reads some charming stories for children.

“Hello, children, hello,” he says cheerfully, sitting with a story book in his lap, “here is this evening’s story.

Are you ready?

Then we’ll begin.

‘One day, Rikki the magic pixie went to visit Daisy Bumble in her tumbledown cottage.

He found her in the bedroom.

Roughly he grabbed her heaving shoulders, pulling her down on to the bed and hurriedly ripping off her thin...”

Looking a trifle abashed, he hastily turns the page and goes on to the next story.

“Old Nick the Sea Captain was a rough tough jolly sort of fellow.

He loved the life of the sea and he loved to hang out down by the pier where the men dressed as ladies and...“

Definitely now disconcerted, he again hastily turns the page and tries yet another story.

“Rumpletweezer ran the Dinky Tinky shop in the foot of the magic oak tree by the wobbly dum dum tree in the shade of the magic glade down in Dingly Dell.

Here he sold contraceptives and various appliances that. . .

Well, I’m afraid that’s all we have time for tonight, children,” says the chagrined Python, and we’re returned to the tinkly music and the bunny rabbits, upon whom a huge foot now steps, crushing them to death.

“Cheating on your wife should be grounds for her divorcing you and taking all your money.”

Agreed, but if there is no cheating and she just wants to leave because she feels like it, she should get nothing.

The problem nowadays “cheating” doesn’t necessarily mean cheating with another woman.

They would consider spending too much time on the Internet, or watching sports as “cheating”.

Damn YT removed most of the good Python videos.

Yeah, I couldn’t find it there either.

However, I found this other kids’ story about a cockroach that lives under the floorboards.

Sorry, in my haste to find additional examples of this depraved liberal insanity, I glossed over this post of yours (post 34).

Although, as I said earlier, I couldn’t find a video of it either, I did find the audio at this site below.

Sorry, but if you are a transvestite, you aren’t getting near my kids...

I am sorry that you were likely molested as a child.

But I sure as hell am not going to let you ever be in a position to do the same to my kid or let you even remotely groom them for someone else to.

It's not about the behavior. It's about the attempt to NORMALIZE the behavior. Accept it for what it is: deviant. Harmless? Maybe ... in the right context. On a stage, as an exaggerated, over-the-top comedy trope, sure. Look at Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in "Some Like It Hot." Or Robin Williams in "Mrs. Doubtfire."

But putting freaks like this in a normal public venue like a library, in front of a bunch of children who don't really understand camp humor, and it becomes less about amusement than it is about imprinting.

Yes, I think we should let drag queen book hour alone...about 20 years ago, before it became ‘popular’!

I would have wanted to know who has asked her daughter have sex with them?

Ever notice that “Story hour” for young children never made the local news or was celebrated until extreme homosexuals in chickface started reading to children?

Until then it was square, nothing to encourage or celebrate in the media, yada yada yada...

Why don’t any of those smiling mothers apply to lead “story hour”?

Is that something “females” cannot do anymore?

I’m told about all of the opportunities for women to lead but somehow I don’t see them leading the story hours.

Until the actual figures are known, it is impossible to quantify the effect of childhood molestation on later proclivities. The correlation is not determinable.

How is manufacturing consent among minor children not illegal?

I am pointing out the difference. Yes, cross-dressing is a part of the culture. To the extent that it is legitimate in the right context, these weirdos are certainly not.

Of course it’s illegal, but somebody has to make an issue about it each time it happens.

Yep. I am in favor of the converse.
