Well, I would anyway.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-41328751349782769142012-01-19T19:18:24.085-05:002012-01-19T19:18:24.085-05:00The only pop-pop-popping you'll hear from me o...The only pop-pop-popping you'll hear from me over the great Stooges news will be coming from the sounds of the bubble wrap that enshrined our brand new Toro snowblower ... ahhh ... bubble wrap. I can stop any time i want, mind you. But all those great Stooges films in one year -- it's humbling to realize how hard some people work to make me laugh! But a wonderful nay brave choice in the comedy/musical category, Mr. Monkey, and "I com-mend ... you ... FOR ... it," as Al Gore used to say. And although I don't recall what film Curly's brilliant <a href="http://youtu.be/M8nct08arj0" rel="nofollow">Oyster Stew skit</a> came from, nor what year, it is proof positive that you don't HAVE to be a Neanderthal to appreciate the Stooges -- although admittedly, science shows that <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328470.400-into-the-mind-of-a-neanderthal.html" rel="nofollow">it wouldn't hurt.</a> :-)Who Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-54761235806290261782012-01-18T12:25:15.849-05:002012-01-18T12:25:15.849-05:00The Grapes of Wrath would be my pick for bets pict...<i>The Grapes of Wrath</i> would be my pick for bets picture of the year if I were picking only one.
