Well done again folks!

NOTE — IF ANY PRIZE GOES UNCLAIMED FOR TWO WEEKS, WE WILL HOLD ANOTHER CONTEST TO DETERMINE A NEW WINNER.

Time for another Caption Contest from on 205th magazine for another great prize! Here’s what’s up for grabs (our biggest prize yet!)…

The Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus Collector’s Editions
(List price: $159.95)

How does over 36 hours on 21 DVDs sound to you?

Inside this decorative carton lurk four seasons of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, two NEW-to-DVD documentaries, two Monty Python LIVE performances, and six “Personal Best” compilations. The whole great mess–Spam tins, parrot carcasses, blancmanges, and all–has been safely digitized, compressed into microscopic “funny bits,” pressed onto 21 shiny discs, and sealed within this whimsy-proof receptacle. SO DON’T OPEN IT! All right, if you must. But beware: there’s new material you can’t repeat verbatim (yet).

“Before the Flying Circus” employs rare vintage footage to explore the influences that shaped six young lunatics into the world’s most innovative comedy troupe, while “Monty Python Conquers America” documents their tremendous, yet astonishingly unlikely, American success. The six “Personal Best” collections present the best sketches and songs, as selected, arranged, and hosted by the individual Pythons themselves. And, of course, “Monty Python Live” shows what happens when absurd TV sketches are inflicted on live audiences.

Yeah, it’s loaded. You’re going to want this…
