It's that age-old question: if life is a parade, why can't I stay afloat? Every year, the Monty Python Society marches in Penn State's Homecoming Parade, thereby making a mockery of this time-honored and cherished tradition by inciting lunacy and silliness as we rampage across campus.

Sometimes there are even pictures:

1988 -- Sharing the Spirit of a Lunchtime 1989 -- Always Look on the Bright Side of Life 1990 -- Twenty Years of Monty Python 1991 -- For the Glory of Spam 1992 -- Generic Silliness 1998 -- Twenty Years of Python on Campus 2000 -- Keep on Truckin' 2001 -- We're Only Funny Because You're... 2002 -- Vikings, Spam, and Virgins 2003 -- Death and Showtunes

As one columnist for The Daily Collegian once put it: "Pretty freaky."
