Terry Jones (Monty Python) passes aged 77

[Heavy Metal Spike]

.

So far, this year sucks.

Directed, acted in, and co-wrote what is arguably the funniest film EVER made.

Thanks goodness his body of work - in all its various forms - will be with us forever.

A genius, and a member of the most original, awe-inspiring & influential comic troop to have ever walked this earth.

RIP Terry - the best thing to ever come out of Wales (they speak waylish you know!)

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy! Man i can't begin to express my love of python, from those first shocking repeat episodes of the flying circus on pbs channel 13 in new york. through all the films. And Mr Jones body of solo work, from Ripping Yarns and tv docs to children's books just everything was intelligent, irreverent, unique and completely totally laugh out loud funny. Rest well dear sir, thank you for making the world just that much better. And i hope graham is waiting for you with a joke and a comfy chair.

RIP Terry. You have brightened many of my days, and your comedic library will continue to do so in the future.

"Incidentally my Liege, we now know the earth to be banana shaped."

These tributes to Terry Jones from several clever comedians on Twitter had me in stiches last night.
