Why We Love Mike
& Eric
On
Jess: I liked Michael since I saw him in A Fish
Called Wanda back in the late 80s, but back then I was just a very casual
fan. As for Eric, I liked him since I
saw him in a few SNL reruns and The Rutles All You Need Is Cash, around the mid
90s. A short time later I saw Monty
Python & the Holy Grail in a medieval history course, fell completely for
Michael (thought he was sooo cute as Galahad, still do obviously) and finally
caught up with the Flying Circus reruns.
Michael is my absolute favorite, but Eric is a very close second (so
close that I love them nearly equal). I
think they’re cute, talented and very funny.
KayKay: Both men are charming and British, so that's
a double plus for me. Last year I was just an average fan, until December. I
found Michael Palin's fan mail address and sent a letter to him. The next month
I received what I was hoping to, but not expecting to, a signed photograph.

Diane: I
fell in love with Monty Python and Eric Idle back in February of 2003.. I couldn't place my finger on it, but there was
just something about these silly people that I adored. My heart fell to
Eric when I watched Life of Brian and he sang Bright Side on the cross.
I've been obsessed and utterly in love with him ever since. I now own the
largest, and only completely
updated Eric-dedicated website on the web, www.eric-idle.com,
in which I express my love for him further. However, the happiest day of
my life was on December 16th of 2003 when I got to meet and chat with Mr. Idle
in person and he hugged me, and I'll tell you everyone, there's nothing better
in this world than an Eric Idle hug.
