RAZZ:The Occupation Begins!
While the rest of you slept, my revolutionary comrades and I occupied this post. The area, having recently been designated as the zone for autonomous zones by the Ricochet Zoning Board, is hereby declared to be the Ricochet Autonomous-Zone Zone, or RAZZ.
We, the communal leadership committee of RAZZ, issue here our demands and decrees. Henceforth and forthwith:
- The preferred means of communication will be through Monty Python sketches
- Drinking games shall be one shot each time:
- Jonah says:
- Best gas station sushi in Arkansas
- Papal ninja army
- Rob:
- Says “Swanning”
- Says “Squish”
- Interrupts James’ ad segues
- James:
- Unleashes a lightning-fast killer zinger
- Peter:
- Lies when he says, “One last question”
- A statue of Doc Jay shall be erected and immediately toppled
- Our November campaign slogan is: Our guy is awful, but their guys are much worse
- Jonah says:
We will whine and stamp our feet until these just demands are met or until we get bored with the whole thing and go back to playing video games in our parents’ basements.

According to the script at montypython.net it’s actually toffee-nosed, which is a British slang term for “snob.”
How about when Rob says “sclerotic”?
Another one used to be when Jonah said “incandescent” but he seems to have gotten off that one.
With deep sorrow, RAZZ announces that the pizza dough we planted in our communal garden has failed to sprout. We suspect sabotage.
Fascist right wing elements have infiltrated and rolled the dough.
Our righteous anger rises.
Capitalist, patriarchal, white supremacist gluten. I’m literally SHAKING, on your behalf.
Fortunately the pepperoni, sauce, and mozzarella plants are doing fine.
We planted several Domino’s pizzas. And they said we knew nothing of agriculture. Can you believe it?
But isn’t Domino’s one of those oppressive capitalist outfits? I guess it’s okay as long as they don’t profit from it.
Oh, good. More progressive clichés. I was running out.

I used to bow to no one I knew in my enjoyment, understanding, and quoting of Monty Python.
And then I met Ricochet.
What, did you think it was coffee-nosed?
I think my brothers still think “gobutit” is one word.
“Again,” implies that you stopped at some point.
Sadly, RAZZ has been dismantled. All but one member of the commune have been ejected for insufficient wokeness. In repeated attempts to grab power, communards continually one-upped each other, pretending to view benign statements as hate crimes. I was ejected for waving at a friend who interpreted the gesture as a Nazi salute. We leap-frogged each other into insanity. In solidarity with Ricochet’s former autonomous zone, Seattle Mayor, Jenny Durkan, has offered therapy to all former communards.
Once again, enlightenment has not delivered happiness.
