...Instead of the mock-Swedish subtitles from the film's opening, the show begins with a Finnish fish-slapping dance - this from a song Palin wrote called "Finland" and a bit in episode 28, when John and Michael ritually smite each other with fish to the music of Edward German. Later, a sound-off marching song flicks a reference to Palin's "Lumberjack Song" with the shouted cadence: "Become a knight and you'll go far / In suspenders...
...twisted into the end of my myoelectric prosthesis and turned 360? like an electronic hand. Only it worked better. Two silver talons opened like forceps, locked on to items and could pick a dime off the floor. Occasionally I screwed on a plastic, clawlike device known by the German word for grabber--Greifer--to move heavy objects, and I contemplated the long list of attachments--garden tools, spatulas, hammers and pool-shooting bridges--that were available by special order.

He smoked constantly, drank rarely, laughed easily, bred and raised German shepherds and drove a tiny, rattling Renault through whose floorboards you could see the road going by. I felt I knew him well, but I was wrong...
