OK, I did it.
What's your favorite bit from Eddie's repetoire? Discuss the original action transvestite (and broadway star)...
Mine follow:
"Horseshoes are lucky. Horses have four bits of lucky nailed to their feet. They should be the luckiest animals in the world. They should rule the country. They should win all their horse races, at least. 'In the fifth race today, every single horse was first equal...one horse threw a shoe came in third...the duck was ninth...and five ran.'"
"You notice how they always put the fruit and veg at the entrance to the supermarket? You go in thinking 'this is a fresh shop, everything in here is FRESH! I will do well to shop here' You never go straight to the bit with the toilet paper, loo brushes and such do you? You'd think 'this is a POO shop! Everything in here is themed on POO!' "
"You say, "Do you want a cup of coffee?" and she says, "Yeah, okay." Then sex is on, yes? Doesn't always work, though. If the President of Barundi says do you want a cup of coffee... "

It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!

Posted: 10/13/04 at 2:19pmWho doesn't. What's the best, is my 58 year old mother loves him too. It's one of the shows that we can go together to, and then spend the next few weeks talking in Izzard code.

Posted: 10/13/04 at 2:28pmI love Eddie Izzard and got my parents hooked on him as well. I never get tired of watching him do the same routines. They always make me laugh.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

"Ciao!"
"Yes, we're going to invade, here we come...oh, it's a bit cold, bit cold..."
"I'll call it the Psychotic Bastard Church...no?...well, I'll call it the Church of England!"
Word. Word, indeed.

"There I was in the kitchen whistling, cooking away...bacon and eggs, bit of toast, coffee bubbling...
she said "we're awfully cheery.."
I said "yes, last night...I lost my virginity!"
she said "oh yeah...with who?"
I said "what the...what what what the bock bock bock bock bock..what the ****...with you!"
and she said "no no no...and the word ejaculation came into conversation as well as the word premature.."
