Daily (Intermittent) Open-Ended Puzzle: Monty Python headlines

Posted on November 20th, 2008

Monty Python has announced that it’s making all many of its works available for free on YouTube. Yay!

What is the best Python-referencing headline for a post announcing this? “A hovercraft full of reels”? “Not pining for the fee(ords)”? “Wring out your dead”?

    What Cleese actually says is : it’s a kind of “have everything”, a comprehensive collection that’s kind of sorted and cataloged and labeled.

    IMHO “have everything” means “lots of examples” but not “all”.

    IMHO, that’s a big difference.

    Hanan, I’m afraid that you’re right. I mis-took the “have everything” comment, I believe.

    I wanted to make a headline out of “Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’ swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcicial aquatic ceremony!” but it just doesn’t work.
