Chandler#81 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 LOL! Personally, I think Colbert is the messiah!

At every speaking engagement, he ought to bless the cheesemakers and leave a shoe behind.
TheMadCap Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 At every speaking engagement, he ought to bless the cheesemakers and leave a shoe behind. It was a gourd, but good reference nevertheless!
DC Tom Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 It was a gourd, but good reference nevertheless! Both, actually. He loses a shoe after he drops the gourd, some of his followers pick it up and discuss what the shoe is a sign of, and it creates a schism between Brian's shoe-worshippers and gourd-worshippers. Folowr3 He has given us a sign!Folowr5 He has given us... a shoe! Folowr3 The shoe is the sign. Let us follow his example. Spike What? Folowr3 Let us, like him, hold up one shoe and let the other be upon our foot for this is His sign, and all who follow Him shall do likewise. Folowr2 Yes. Folowr5 No no no. Folowr2 No. Folowr5 The shoe is a sign that we must gather shoes together in a bundle. Folowr4 Cast off the shoes. Follow the gourd. Spike What? Folowr5 No. Let us gather shoes together. Let me... Folowr4 Get off! Folowr2 No, no. It is a sign that like him, we must think not of things of the body, but of the face, and head. Folowr5 Give me your shoe. Folowr2 Get off! Folowr4 Follow the gourd. The holy gourd of Jerusalem. Folowr The gourd! Folowr6 Hold up the sandal, as He has commanded us. Folowr3 It is a shoe! It is a shoe! Folowr6 It is a sandal! Folowr3 No, it is a shoe! Folowr4 Cast it away! Folowr5 Put it on! Folowr2 Clear off! Folowr5 Take the shoes and follow him! Folowr4 All ye...... follow the gourdie [?!?] http://corky.net/scripts/life_brian.html Best...satire...ever...
HopsGuy Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Best...satire...ever... Agreed. I was thinking about this scene while reading the Tebow "STFU" thread: Spectator I: I think it was "Blessed are the cheesemakers". Mrs. Gregory: Aha, what's so special about the cheesemakers? Gregory: Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
