This is a rough quotation from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail,
when King Arthur and his men stumble on a castle manned by Frenchmen.
They use the ruse of a Trojan Bunny to gain entrance, only they forget
to put anyone inside. A little earlier, the Frenchmen fired a cow over
the wall onto KA & his men. The quote comes from the French officer
ordering his men to get the cow... The presence of the bunny on the
battlefield looked like a tip of the hat to Monty Python...

our lumber jacks!

Already done - the little ornamental fish that decorate the tops of roofs in
the ninja sets have a peg that minifigs can grab. This allowed the creation
of one of my greatest heroes, Sushi Warrior. With a fish in each hand and
another stuck in the peg on his head, he's easily a match for any foe.

A LEGO employee is probably a Monty Python fan, the Soccertruck also had
this scene in the castle display:

See the top of the rightmost tower!
Monty Python rules :-)
"I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king"
"Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ...
that's no basis for a system of government."

"Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from
some farcical aquatic ceremony!"
"Be quiet!"
"You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery
tart threw a sword at you!"
"Shut up!"
"Why, if I went round, saying I was king, just 'cause some moistened bint
had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"
"Shut up, will you shut up!"
"Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the system. Come and see the
violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm bein' repressed!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that, eh?! You saw him repressin' me?
You saw it didn't you?!"
Sorry, just had to finish that off. :-D
