for those of you who are wondering, "The reality is merely a prioti abjuncitve of non-ethical ethics and defy the categories of imperative in that auto-logically possessed only in the imagination... and Marx is offsides."

It's actually an own goal by the Greeks because they score in their own net - the Germans were robbed!

If you ask me, the Germans made a mistake in taking Wittgenstein off, he has very dynamic tactics and an expertise in "the game".

Hollywood Bowl is on par with anything Monty Python ever did IMO, this, Communist Game Show, History of the Joke, all just plain genius.Flying Circus was genius but I think a lot of their later stuff like this and live shows with other comedians are terribly underated, or at least overshadowed.Some people say they'd use time travel to stop wars or tyrants, I'd just buy a front row seat to Secret Policemen's Ball 1979.
