Congrats on your surgeory! Ive been looking for a way to contact you by mail.. but I cant find it. First a bit of fantalk: I love Monty and especially the search for the Holy Grail. However, Id like to recommend to make skatches of a one-picture-one-jok cartoon called Gummbah. Gummbah is an absurdistic cartoon and I love it. Its dutch, but a bunch of his cartoons are translated to english: http://www.gummbah.nl/pages/english.php Warning: his cartoons can be a bit graphic. Warning2: make sure youre seated properly when the absurdistic humor strikes you. Sincere greetings and good luck recovering. Klaas Holland Hello John Cleese! Congrats on your surgeory!

Since I have learned (on Olbermann's show) that you are an American citizen, I would respectfully like to suggest that you are uniquely positioned, as someone with experience with both health systems, to opine in the healthcare debate and debunk the lies that are being spread about the British system. A series of spots sponsored by MoveOn or some other organization in which you lampoon the lies and misrepresentations of the GOP about Britain's system and our proposed changes could have the effect of getting legislation passed to fix our broken system. Nothing deflates pomposity and vitriol better than a humorous left hook, and you are the man to do it. Best wishes for your continued recovery and good health.

I'm doing a show at Just For Laughs this year that I think you'd really get a kick out of. The 'Whiteman's Whiskey Comedy Revue' is a re-imagining of the live-to-air variety shows of the early days of television. We have some really great actors playing a bunch of recognizable character types (the Lucille Ball/Gracie Allen, soused Dean Martin, the matinee idol, the Jerry Lewis). The main character dies an hour before the big 'Celebration Special' and the show must go on. Live 5-piece jazz band featuring some of the best musicians in the city. Funny, different, smart. Please come. Info at www.sidemart.ca. Hope to see you there. Let's share a 'Whiteman's' after the show (I play the half-blind bartender, which seems appropriate considering the topic of this post...). Hope all is well, warm regards, Jason Hello Mr. Cleese,

Yes, a local anesthetic and then the lady doctor went to work. Quite an experience. John, do you read this?

At the moment we're filming an epic movie and we're asking different people to say a phrase that doesn't make any sense. It sounds like "Ya kak ko'lodochka" and it means, well, actually it means nothing. "Kolodka" in Russian means a last (the one for the shoes), it also means a stock, a brake shoe, a plane stock (not sure what it means). We've already asked people in Saint-Petersburg and Moscow to say it. Also I'm participating in Moscow International Film Festival as a finalist of the competition program of the short films made with a digital photo camera. The award ceremony is tomorrow, and I'm going to ask famous Russian directors and actors to say that they're "kolodochka". But it seems like it's not enough, and we need some foreigners to say the same thing. As we believe you are the best person for this role and think that you must understand the importance of the whole thing, we hope that you might agree to film yourself saying "YA KAK KO'LODOCHKA" - maybe at the end of one of your podcasts. You can say just "KO'LODOCHKA" if it's to difficult to pronounce the whole phrase.To say that we'll be honoured is to say nothing at all, and our English isn't good enough to express how grateful we will be. We're too pour to ask you to do this for money, but still we can also send you some Russian chocolate, I believe it's dreadful, but foreigners tend to like it very much for some reason. P.S.
