    What's better than MM remakes? A "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" pin!

    The movie came out in 1975. Every D&D nerd from that point on has seen this movie multiple times. The lines are memorized and quoted ad nauseum.

    There is a French castle that catapults cows and other animals - even the Trojan Rabbit - at attackers.

    Classic scenes include:

    - the Black Knight ("It's just a flesh wound"
    - Dennis ("Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
    - Brave Sir Robin and his minstrels ("When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled."
    - Swamp Castle ("Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who."
    - Soldier with interest in birds ("Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"
    - Knights of the Round Table (song)
    - Sir Bedevere ("How do you know she is a witch?"

    There are so many more, and there is so much that could be done with this theme.

    But more than that, can you imagine walking up to a location and seeing this pin sitting there? You'd just have to walk up to it and play it! It even hits the demographic of home pin ownership perfectly (middle-aged "nerdy" guys with disposable incomes). Sorry, maybe that's just me!
