What if...

What if Curly Howard were alive today. Would he still be funny? Would getting bitch slapped by Moe while holding a cell phone be hilarious? Would taking two digits to the eyeballs while text messaging Larry be gut busting? Would the backward foot shuffle while sending an e-mail bring a tear of laughter to one's eyes?

Maybe...or maybe not.

This random thought was brought to you by Gerhardguffaw. While most people are thinking about world issues or deciding what wine goes best with sex, I'm sitting at my computer thinking about stupid shit.

Thank you for reading this blog. The check is in the mail.

Comment by theDIRTYmidget.© on March 9, 2011 at 11:51am: I worship AMC® for showing the Stooges, and always watch the entire show, no matter how long, when I stumble on it. I still piss myself with laughter, especially watching through the jaundiced eye of a 50-year-old who now understands that they were normal men being funny, and not a sadistic psychotic and 2 legally-retarded abuse-victims. When I was a child they scared me, because I thought the act was real and frequently wondered why they didn’t just kill Moe in his sleep, or just run away from him in the night. What sort of affection could they possibly feel for this monster?
“ The only thing I like more than honey and ketchup is bologna and whipped-cream, and we haven’t got any.”
What kind of role-model / leadership-figure says such a thing?

I think just as many people would think they were funny today, although the special-effects might need to be slightly more high-tech (“How about a stuffed parrot on a length of fishing-line inside a knight’s helmet, Mr. Cameron?” “You’re fired.”).
Not to be a preachy fuckface, but never be ashamed of your thoughts of so-called ‘stupid shit’. We all have them, constantly. They’re called life. They fuel this website, and the best deterrent to suicide I can think of.

xo♥.

(P.S. Have you ever seen the one with Shemp where Curly does a cameo as a man sleeping on a train and has a full head of thick, curly hair? Ah, now I get it.)

Comment by bigjas on February 28, 2011 at 12:42pm: Moe would have to resort to cyber bullying

Comment by bigjas on February 28, 2011 at 12:41pm: i believe todays Health and Safety laws would curtail Curly's anticts

Comment by Rotwang on February 25, 2011 at 9:48am: Well, Arrested Development used slapstick well...

Comment by Bubba Licious on February 24, 2011 at 5:48pm: The Stooges are timeless. Especially Curly.

Curly: Give me a rotten egg and some burnt toast.

Bartender: Why do you want that?

Curly: I got a tapeworm, and that's good enough for him.

And it's Pouilly Fuisse, by the way.
