Icon posting Project - Day 8

[byslantedlight]

A whole week - I've been posting for a week. Hurrah! Perhaps I've finally broken my desert-like dry spell for posting to lj! *g*

Today's icon is not Pros - sorry! It's from another of my favourite chaps though, Eddie Izzard. And hmmn - I'm trying desperately to find a video for it, and there's none online. Waah! It's from Dress to Kill, and it says:
Father, bless me for I have sinned. I did an original sin, I poked a badger with a spoon
Cos priests must get tired of all the ordinary sins at confession, they want original sins. *g*


So - Pros connection! There's got to be one... Okay, apparently Eddie Izzard started performing on stage at the Comedy Store in London in 1987 - that's no more than half a dozen years since we last saw the lads in the eps (if you count it from 1981 - only four years if you count it from 1983 when the last ep was finally shown on tv!) So... would the lads have gone to see him on stage (makes me think of helenraven's Freezing, where they went to see Rowan Atkinson...)? Would they think he was funny, or is he too surreal for them (bearing in mind they came of age more in the time of Benny Hill and Dick Emery and The Two Ronnies and so on... Round the Horne! Although also The Goons and Spike Milligan and all, so maybe... Anyway, here's Eddie's big break - his Raised by Wolves sketch from Hysteria 3 in 1991. Start around 1.30. I remember lying on the floor in tears watching this - and it made me giggle re-watching tonight, too... But would the lads have liked it?! *g*

Eddie is brilliant, isn't he! And hee yes - deleting the internet! *g* I still sit there quoting him when my printer has problems too. Can't find printer? I can find the printer! It's right there, look! *vbg* I'm very jealous that you've seen him perform - I'd love to!
