Quite frankly, I’m against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution.

Admiration: Michael Palin

This is quite a long interview with Michael Palin from The Independent, done by Robert Chalmers and published this past July. I’m not sure why I found myself looking up Palin this morning, other than he is one of my heroes (something I’m sure he’d hate hearing even in principle from anyone). But it’s a lovely, thoughtful interview, and - if you’re a fan of the man and his works - well-worth your time.

And now, downtime.

Michael Palin.
He’s the sort of forgotten man of the group, really.

l wonder what’s happened to him now.

This was Graham’s manor and Graham was a lovely guy. I spent many happy times with him, most of which I forget.

And now for something completely different:

a Python Zeppelin.

And now:

This morning, shortly after 11:00, comedy struck this little house on Dibley Road.

Sudden…

The first character that the flying circus of the Python gang gave us was the ‘It’s-Man‘— played by Michael Palin—sacrificing himself for his one and only purpose:

saying ‘It’s…’ right before the title.

These are his adventures.

-Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I’m being repressed!-Bloody peasant!-Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That’s what I’m on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn’t you?

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!
If I went ‘round sayin’ I was emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
