An "Out of the Trees" in the hand is worth two "Yellowbeards"in the shrubbery Posted Fri Sep 1 13:29:54 BST 2000 by Mr Griffiths

The Corpsemen were right to post the OOTT script but Jim Yoakum simply wants to be seen to be doing the right thing via a vis the Chapman estate.

And next week I'll be encapsulating another protracted multi-thread argument into a single pithy sentence. Join me.

Chapman and Adams were writing Out of the Trees together, right? Chapman was a member of Python, right? What does �Adams nicked it from rejected Python material� mean? Doesn�t make sense if you think about it. Has anyone asked Yoakum what it means? Has anyone asked Adams about it?

It means what it says. You got a problem with that? Ask the late J Tomiczek what he meant. Hey, lemme ask you, what books have you ever written?

It's just that what it says doesn't make sense, is all.
