I think that webcomicers should have an encore bucket. They, of course, must give royalties to Eric Idle for use of the encore bucket. During his "Greedy Bastard" tour, Eric Idle said "If you want an encore, you must fill this bucket!" And then he brings out a trash can and said anyone who uses this idea must pay him royalties.

I think next time I reply I will actually read the link you posted before I type stuff.

It was great. My wife and I caught him at the 9:30 club. He did a combination of Python Sketches and new material, plus stuff he did with the Ruttle Island Performers and even some pre-Python sketches.

My favorate bit was how he talked of his childhood and his friends that passed away. It was very sad, however, he turned it around with humor and showed how wrote some of his best material dispite such adversity. He just put out a book about that tour plus releaced a video I think or a CD.
