Whenever I hear this question, "What is your favorite color?", I can't help but think of the bridge keeper at the Bridge of Death in scene 23 of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

GALAHAD:

There it is!

ARTHUR:

The Bridge of Death!

ROBIN:

Oh, great.

ARTHUR:

Look! There's the old man from scene twenty-four!

BEDEVERE:

What is he doing here?

ARTHUR:

He is the keeper of the Bridge of Death. He asks each traveller five questions--

GALAHAD:

Three questions.

ARTHUR:

Three questions. He who answers the five questions--

GALAHAD:

Three questions.

ARTHUR:

Three questions may cross in safety.

ROBIN:

What if you get a question wrong?

ARTHUR:

Then you are cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril.

ROBIN:

Oh, I won't go.

GALAHAD:

Who's going to answer the questions?

ARTHUR:

Sir Robin!

ROBIN:

Yes?

ARTHUR:

Brave Sir Robin, you go.

ROBIN:

Hey! I've got a great idea. Why doesn't Launcelot go?

LAUNCELOT:

Yes. Let me go, my liege. I will take him single-handed. I shall make a feint to the north-east that s--

ARTHUR:

No, no. No. Hang on! Hang on! Hang on! Just answer the five questions--

GALAHAD:

Three questions.

ARTHUR:

Three questions as best you can, and we shall watch... and pray.

LAUNCELOT:

I understand, my liege.

ARTHUR:

Good luck, brave Sir Launcelot. God be with you.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

Stop!

Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

LAUNCELOT:

Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your name?

LAUNCELOT:

My name is 'Sir Launcelot of Camelot'.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your quest?

LAUNCELOT:

To seek the Holy Grail.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your favourite colour?

LAUNCELOT:

Blue.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

Right. Off you go.

LAUNCELOT:

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

ROBIN:

That's easy!

BRIDGEKEEPER:

Stop! Who approacheth the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

ROBIN:

Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your name?

ROBIN:

'Sir Robin of Camelot'.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your quest?

ROBIN:

To seek the Holy Grail.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is the capital of Assyria?

[pause]

ROBIN:

I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh!

BRIDGEKEEPER:

Stop! What... is your name?

GALAHAD:

'Sir Galahad of Camelot'.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your quest?

GALAHAD:

I seek the Grail.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your favourite colour?

GALAHAD:

Blue. No, yel-- auuuuuuuugh!

BRIDGEKEEPER:

Hee hee heh. Stop! What... is your name?

ARTHUR:

It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is your quest?

ARTHUR:

To seek the Holy Grail.

BRIDGEKEEPER:

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

ARTHUR:

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

BRIDGEKEEPER:

Huh? I-- I don't know that. Auuuuuuuugh!

BEDEVERE:

How do know so much about swallows?

ARTHUR:

Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

:rsmile:

So my favorite color is Red. No, blue-- auuuuuuuugh!

[Jazzmoose]

The trouble with these darn things is you can't help voting in them, even when you know it's just a test...

[AfricaBrass]

You're welcome, David!

Holy Grail is one of my favorite movies EVER. I just can't help it whenever I hear the phase "and what is your favorite color" - Great film!

I’m deeply offended that Yellow is not on the ballot. A primary color, every bit the equal of Blue and Red (and Green, according to direct light purists) must be recognized for its intrinsic worth. Yet purple, a strictly secondary color, is thought to be of more value (and hue) than Yellow? Absurd, preposterous and unconscionable. I abstain from this injustice!

Yellow????? You can't possibly be serious. I've been looking at colors for over 46 years and yellow isn't even in my top 10. Everyone knows that green rules.

[vibes]

Should I feel strange that I'm the only person that voted for purple?

[Jazzmoose]

Should I feel strange that I'm the only person that voted for purple?

My GOD, you damned FREAK!!! Don't ever post here again!!!!

[wesbed]

I mean, like, who's not going to choose blue?

[Rooster_Ties]

Should I feel strange that I'm the only person that voted for purple? 

My GOD, you damned FREAK!!! Don't ever post here again!!!!

[Jazzmoose]

Be afraid, Jerry Falwell; be very, very afraid...

[connoisseur series500]

OK guys, you forced me into it. I just voted!

[JSngry]

So ya' think you know colors, eh?

Nah - THIS guy knows colors!

[vibes]

Should I feel strange that I'm the only person that voted for purple? 

My GOD, you damned FREAK!!! Don't ever post here again!!!!

Oh, the horror!

[AfricaBrass]

Ah, Ken Nordine! I love those Word Jazz albums.

My wife's favorite color is purple.

I bet you can figure out the next part.

I feel like I live in a grape. She can't stop buying purple things. Our bedroom is purple. Our living room is getting more purple all the time. Heck, she usually dresses in purple.

I guess I'm lucky she doesn't like blue. She would look like the girl who turned into the blueberry in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That would just be too much!!!! I'd have to find some Oompa Loompas to roll her away.
