Weird Glasgow Continued: A Ministry of Silly Walks sign I came across today by the children's play area in Kelvingrove Park.

So, just to make sure I get this right...

There's a senile codger who sits at home at night, alone with his grievances, no friends, a wife that detests him and refuses to be in the same room with him. He stews and stares at the TV, flipping around hoping to find people saying nice things about him.

Then, possibly triggered by whatever he sees on TV, or perhaps thermal noise in his degrading neurons, he comes up with some random, crazy thing, and he posts it to social media.

And then the US cabinet jumps up and says "Yes sir, what a great idea sir, we're on it sir".

Do I have that right?

I think others are correct. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords would be a *much* better basis for a system of government.

Brazil (1985), directed by Terry Gilliam, is a dystopian satire starring Jonathan Pryce and featuring Robert De Niro and Michael Palin. It depicts a 1984-style totalitarian state - but Pryce’s character, Sam Lowry, dreams of escape.

There's a track that starts with a posh-sounding gentlemen trying to interview passers-by about shirts. It's not surprising that these folks shared personnel with Monty Python, in the form of Neil Innes.

Hmm, #MontyPython #HolyGrail is 50 years old! I feel so young!

"And now! At last! Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren't quite the same as this one is," was the tagline of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which was released 50 years ago this month. The team at @arstechnica discuss the things they love about this absurdist masterpiece.

50, no more... no less... 50 is the age it turned, so it's 50 years old now. Not 51 years of age, neither just 49....

It’s Michael Palin’s birthday (born 1943) - mark it by watching … The Missionary (1982) starred Monty Python’s Michael Palin as a missionary whose work with ‘fallen women’ presents temptations of the flesh. Co-starring Dame Maggie Smith, Michael Hordern and Denholm Elliott. #movies #montypython #michaelpalin #films #1980s #80s #comedy
