The HOLY GRAIL of challenges!! - DPChallenge Forums

Ok, for all of the Monty Python followers...make sure you enter this challenge and it's advanced editing, too! It would be fun to include a quote from the movie that possibly inspired you, in the notes. That is not a requirement, but would make it even more fun!

This will be quite fun to shoot and probably even more fun to vote on!

Just find your old "Monty Python Sings" CD and play it :) I don't know why, but when I first saw the challenge I thought of Finland.

This would be so more fun in Master editing with text allowed, to get this Surreal feeling they have on most of the covers :)

Bruce's Philosopher Song - my favorite.

"The song's lyrics make a series of scurrilous allegations against a number of highly respected philosophers, usually with regard to their capacity or incapacity for imbibing intoxicating liquors."

Am I the only one who has never watched Monty Python? I think I saw "The Life of Brian" when I was a teenager. I don't remember anything about it. I guess I'll treat this as a free study when voting.
