From the citation:

"Good afternoon. I'm quite new here and this is my first contribution, although I've commented on a couple of other threads.

On this almost most auspicious of days, arrr!, it has come to my keen attention that, despite forty years of obsessive lunacy, there does not appear to be an official Monty Python Day. I should be grateful if any of you here at the most officialish online Monty Python community can help me shed any light on why this reprehensible state of affairs has come not to be.

From a brief perusal of the Internet I have been able to deduce the following information.

Doune Castle holds a Monty Python day on what seems to be the second Sunday in September but, from the information provided, the duration of the organised event is a mere three hours (4:00pm until 7:00pm). Now in its seventh year, this gives the impression of being the most stable if not official 'Day'. I'm not sure why it takes place when it does, though. Is it because the filming of Holy Grail took place there in September 1974?
Facebook apparently has a Monty Python Status Day on 10 May, but I'm not sure for what reason that date was chosen (it does coincide with the US release date of Holy Grail in 1975).
This very forum, in 2009, suggested 29 March as an online convention day (which coincides with Mr. Idle's date of birth), and sometime next summer for an actual meet-up.
The Monty Python anniversary is 5 October, coinciding with the date of the first broadcast of Flying Circus in 1969.

So, given that we have International Talk Like A Pirate Day, International Beer Day, World Migratory Bird Day, Towel Day, Literacy Day, Philosophy Day, and The International Day of Awesomeness, I'm interested in your opinions as to why there is no official Monty Python Day, and on what date you think it would be if there was one.

Thank you."

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Know what I mean?

Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who.

Due to the state of the econmy and the adult industry, no-one is allowed to have a sense of humour.

Albatross!
