I think abt this tiktok all the time

Think about it. When we humans do something fun and very physical, our bodies are often tense, at the ready, and a lot of our body language does look kind of aggressive or even scared. Cats are the same!  Animals at play or investigating new things often show some tension, but tension is not the same as anger or fear!

Okay so we have this rusty old thing in our one flower bed that would make an awful noise when you turned it and Buck Buck absolutely hated the sound of it, freaking out every time, wanting to somehow fight it??? Anyway I haven’t turned the Sphere of Rage for several years now and figured I’d see if it can still work its great and terrible magic.

Happy birthday to Michael Palin! “Monty Python. Eric (Idle) is incredible. Michael Palin too. He is very funny.” - George Harrison, I Me Mine (1980) “Death held no terrors for George at all. He’d got all that worked out. He had a spirituality. He said that he was going on somewhere else. He didn’t want people to grieve and feel this was the end.” - Michael Palin, The Telegraph (December 1, 2001) “When I last saw him in August [2001], I could see that all the treatment he had been through had taken a physical toll. But there was still a spark and inner energy about him. His enthusiasm was undimmed. After dinner he got out all these CDs of the jazz player Hoagy Carmichael, which he played until the early hours. I was absolutely exhausted. I shall remember George as a very generous man — generous not only with any financial commitment but with his time as a listener and with other people who hadn’t done as well. He took life on. This wasn’t a man who was just prepared to go with the flow. Whatever he did, he maintained a sense of proportion and humor. I will miss him. After all, there was still so much to talk about.” - Michael Palin, The Independent (December 1, 2001) “No CD can bring back his [George’s] kindness, his generosity or his warmth.” - Michael Palin, ibid “I later found out why Monty Python appealed to George – it was subversive and anti-authoritarian. The Pythons and The Beatles were both groups who stood together on their own terms and weren’t bought by anybody. He always saw the absurd side of life and so enjoyed the Pythons’ take on it all. When you have been deified as The Beatles were, the world can seem insane. I think he saw the Pythons as a form of sanity.” - Michael Palin, The Independent, December 1, 2001 “You sense that [Michael Palin] still deeply misses his intimate friend and loyal co-conspirator George Harrison.” - The Independent (July 29, 2012)
