Thanks for all the fish.

Wouldn't Andrew know Monty Python? It's a particularly geeky phenomenon, seems to me. I would think he'd be, at the least, quoting some back, even if it were just from The Holy Grail, which is probably (I think?) the most well-known Monty Python. I buy that he wouldn't know it was a group -- I didn't (embarrassed now, yes). something like:
"Oh, oh, I know this! Killer Rabbit!" (or) Ni! Ni!"

I do almost exactly that here -

"Monty Python is not a person, it's the name of a troupe of comedians."

"Right, like that strange walking guy."

"Funny."

Because of the Ministry of Funny Walks. Andrew, as I see him, is more of a SF geek than a generalised geek. And I wonder if he's not a touch young to be very much into MP. I think he'd be more of a Red Dwarf and possibly Dr. Who geek.

Revised, based on your suggestions -

Wesley stared down at Andrew, utterly bemused.

"It's okay, Wesley." Andrew lifted a hand and patted a stubbled cheek comfortingly. "It's okay for a man to have a crush on another man."

"And what," Wesley thought, "am I to do with that?" He smiled and lowered his head to kiss Andrew, quite thoroughly.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Ah, that was my monty python stupidity not getting it then. Cool. Nice revision. I like the word bemused. It seems particularly Wes.

edited because I liked the wrong form of the word.

Thanks for all the fish.

I think that bemused - or baffled - would pretty much sum up Wesley's reaction to Andrew.

channeling fay or gobsmacked. It's a good story, Elena. I like it. I'm sorry for the pairing confusion. Did you write the other one, and if you did, are you going to post it?

Elena - Jul 12, 2003 8:42:58 am PDT #5082 of 10001

Thanks for all the fish.

I did write it, and I posted it upthread. It's the bucket story. And I like this one better.

Oh, yeah, duh. I remember that one, and liked it very much.

I'm younger than Andrew....

Seriously, I think Andrew would really know Monty Python. Everybody in my fifth-grade class knew them, I mean, in the way they knew if something was a Beatles song. It's just a mass-culture thing you knew.

Thanks for all the fish.

But you might not immediately recognise one of the sketches? Hmm? Don't be harshing my buzz.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Dudes, my daughter (now 24) can quote great reams of MP. She likes them and knows them better than I do.

I remember getting into a snappy back and forth with her, aged about fourteen, and she came back with "I came here for an argument! That's a contradiction!" and I lost it. End of snappy.

Nick knows LOTS more MP than I do, but then, so does Greg. One's 17 and the other's 39.
