EINDHOVEN – De Silly walk afbeeldingen zijn gemaakt door Graffiti-kunstenaar Niels van Swaemen. Dus toen de Britse komiek John Cleese in 1970 zijn wereld fameuze silly walks lanceerde, was Van Swaemen nog niet geboren. Maar John Cleese is een icoon. "Ook jongeren kennen zijn walk", zegt Van Swaemen. Afgelopen zomer 25-4-2016 heeft John Cleese, op zijn pantoffels, persoonlijk deze fietstunnel geopend! Rechtsboven in beeld, heeft hij zijn handtekening geplaatst!

I think laughter is the best medicine. If you can’t laugh at yourself, then you can’t laugh at life and the silliness of it all.
David Hasselhoff
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.
Charles Dickens
A good time to laugh is any time you can.
Linda Ellerbee
A wonderful thing about true laughter is that it just destroys any kind of system of dividing people.
John Cleese
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
Charlie Chaplin
Life is better when you’re laughing.
Anon
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
Victor Hugo
Of all days, the day on which one has not laughed is the one most surely wasted.
Sebastien Roch
A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.
Shirley MacLaine
Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.
Sean O'Casey
A smile starts on the lips, a grin spreads to the eyes, a chuckle comes from the belly; but a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, overflows, and bubbles all around.
Carolyn Birmingham
Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.
W. H. Auden
From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.
Dr. Seuss
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A wonderful thing about true laughter is that it just destroys any kind of system of dividing people.
John Cleese
We need to seek wise leaders who will seek common ground among Americans instead of dividing us further for political gain. As citizens, we must embrace those who embrace ideas, thoughtfulness, civility and kindness to others no matter what their political beliefs.
James McGreevey
I guess I just don't see America as separate from Vietnam or Ethiopia. This mentality of 'our team's better than yours' - it's a high school idea. My kids don't see those dividing lines, and I don't want to either.
Brad Pitt
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Monte Python ~~~ Money Song
That's right...I'm a Monte Python fan...lolololol. I couldn't resist. Have fun ~~~~~~~
The first step to knowing who we are... is knowing where we are and... WHEN we are.

For those who are wondering, this is a real sign at the pedestrian crosswalk of Sparks St. (pedestrian mall) and Metcalfe St. in downtown Ottawa. The business association for Sparks St. wanted to bring a little fun to the area, and it seemed fitting with the view of Parliament in the background.
I took the photo for an online competition where the challenge theme was Road Sign. At first I though, how the hell do I create an interesting image with a road sign. After a little googling and finding this sign, I came up with the idea of a John Cleese imitation.

A view of the classical columned frontage at Downing College, Cambridge, framed by its elegant lawns and calm symmetry. Founded in 1800, the college was the first of Cambridge’s great Neoclassical institutions, designed to embody balance and rational order. Over the years, it has produced a remarkable array of alumni, including novelist E. M. Forster, poet Philip Larkin, actor Thandiwe Newton, and comedian John Cleese, who honed his wit with the Cambridge Footlights. The setting remains one of quiet grandeur — a place where art, literature, performance, and scholarship continue to thrive beneath timeless stone.

A front view of Downing College, Cambridge, showcasing its elegant Georgian façade. Founded in 1800 and designed by William Wilkins in the Neoclassical style, the college combines symmetry and grandeur with the calm of its tree-lined approach. Downing has nurtured notable alumni including novelist E. M. Forster, poet Philip Larkin, actor Thandiwe Newton, and comedian John Cleese, whose early work with the Cambridge Footlights began here. The scene captures t

"The Ministry of Silly Walks" is a sketch from the Monty Python comedy troupe's television show Monty Python's Flying Circus. The episode first aired on September 15, 1970. This sketch involves John Cleese as a bowler-hatted civil servant in a fictitious British government ministry responsible for developing silly walks through grants. Cleese, throughout the sketch, walks in a variety of silly ways. It is these various silly walks, more than the dialogue, that has earned the sketch its popularity. Cleese has cited the physical comedy of Max Wall, probably in character as Professor Wallofski, as important to its conception."
This great blue heron was bending, stretching,wing flaring his wings as he stood on a log.
Didn't seem to notice us in our boat getting closer and closer.
We finally left it to finish his routine.

Thanks to specially shaped neck vertebrae, Great Blue Herons can curl their neck into an S shape for a more aerodynamic flight profile and to quickly strike prey at a distance.
Classic British comedy troupe Monty Python returned to the stage one “last” time (or ten, as the case may be) for a final farewell to the surreal comedy gold sketches first made famous in the 1970’s and 80’s.
The remaining original line-up of John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam all returned for the series of shows at East London’s O2 Arena playing out famous sketches, including Dead Parrot, The Lumberjack Song, Spam and The Spanish Inquisition as well as famous songs including show closer Always Look on the Bright Side if Life.
While a familiarity with the classic material would have heightened the show to an unparalleled level, a good time was had by all as classic original sketches and animations were shown on screen in-between the live acts.
The Monty Python boys were joined on stage by “the seventh Python” and former Miss California Carol Cleveland. While various special guests will join the show over it’s run, tonight’s guest was Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding.
Created this motion graphic for this week's theme of "Time" on the Moncton Photography Facebook page. With a tip of the (bowler) hat to John Cleese in one of his most iconic roles in Monty Python's Flying Circus - The Ministry of Silly Walks. One of my good friends recently commented that my last animation was "Terry Gilliam Mk II". =)
I bought the Cleese / Ministry of Silly Walks watch some time ago. They are made by the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild.
