Your fatigue-addled wits do not deceive you - there are no Monty Python references. However, I did include at least one Star Wars stea^H^H^H homage, so it's OK.

The line after that was supposed to be the punchline, but it was rather obscure and I'm not surprised nobody's picked up on it. Marc or Derek might get it - they both seem to have impressive stores of arcane lore.
Thanks for the accolades, folks. I have to agree with Zeke that this is my best one yet - it's certainly my best solo effort. Body Parts and The Muse make me cringe now, but I'm proud of this one.

But that's still only half as long as it took me to write it. I had a lengthy bout of apathy/despair in the middle.[/color
