Rank Ideas

Hang up the boots. Give the game away. Get the gold watch and walk off into the sunset.

It'll give you more time to listen to our episode passing judgment on your conceptualisation of such things.

And, over time, all things.

Do you ask a shark to rank fearsome?

Do you ask Apollo to rank beauty?

Do you ask the moon to rank mystery?

Do you ask marionettes to rank subservience?

Of course not.

And yet! You ask us to rank style - and we don't even blink.

What's more, we do it with an impossible blend of confidence, humlity and grace that let's you know that you are listening to Number One Podcast of Ranking Ideas: Rank Ideas.

Carry on!

If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

With that cleared up we can dust off our rank coats and get adorned so that we can look the part astride our rank beasts, who are naturally resplendant in rank regalia of their own.

I say, 'of their own', but they neither procured nor maintain it. Despite this apparently uneven relationship, we persist, because they bring an aesthetic that isn't replaceable nor necessarily achievable by a more accountable regalia-purchasers.

This episode we are ranking resilience. That should be clear by now.

Born from an egg on a mountain top, punkiest Nick and Chris that ever popped. They knew every magic trick under the sun, to tease the gods and everyone and have some fun.

Monkey Magic,

Monkey Magic,

Monkey Magic,

Monkey Magic.

Confirmed true. The rest is all academic speculation/fan theory.

Whoever it was that send us the 'thank you for ranking ideas' card and bouquet of expensive nuts - we want to say, 'thank you'! And what better way to do that, than by recording yet another episode of your all-time favourite podcast.

Who knows what the theme of such an episode could be! I'm sure it will inspire a rabbit-hole of panic-learning about syncronicity.

For which I can only say, you are welcome :)
