2/13/05---Great old SNL skit recalled

So last night, my bride and I sat down and watched "Master & Commander--The Other Side of the World".  Besides being a "ripping good yarn" (as some old sea salt might call it) it reminded me of a great old Saturday Night Live skit that I hadn't thought about in ages.

"Miles Copperthwaite" starred Michael Palin (of Monty Python fame) as a young cabin boy who finds himself as the young steward of a ship full of "manly men" aboard her majesty's ship...."The Raging Queen"....captained by John Belushi.
OMG....you wanna talk about laughing your ass off.  Belushi is in full homo mode,
and all the women who are on board (Gilda, Jane & Lorraine) are absolutely desperate for love because none of the ship's crew seems to have much of an interest in them....
"Perhaps....perhaps....we could ALL comfort Miles!"

What a classic moment.

I'll review Master & Commander at a later date.....a solid **** film though, with that bastard Russell Crowe, love him or hate him, delivering another solid performance.  I'm still....(STILL)...trying to recover from this upper respitory business.  I may have to perform a sacrifice to appease the God's!

Later,
Jeff
