It has been a running joke of mine for years that this is the only combination of words never before uttered in the history of the English language:<br />"OH DARN, THIS ONE IS WITH CURLEY; I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE WITH SHEMP."<br /><br />Guess I was wrong. But seriously, I've never heard of anyone preferring Shemp---fine comedian but his younger brother was THE Stooge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-28664231310742250112012-04-11T20:55:39.975-07:002012-04-11T20:55:39.975-07:00Damn it, this post got me involved in another argu...Damn it, this post got me involved in another argument with my wife about the stooges. She hates them and I love them. As has been mentioned before, most women seem to dislike them, I guess because of the violence and the way they look.<br /><br />I like them though and I think I'll even try to look and dress like them, that will really annoy her...Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-92229377610993211192012-04-11T16:20:49.986-07:002012-04-11T16:20:49.986-07:00Too much analyzing.

Bruce later expanded/expounded on this, and I agree whole-heartedly: "Shemp is only stooge who is smart enough to realize he's a stooge, but not smart enough to do anything about it." That's tragedy. And that's comedy. At their best.Max Allan Collinshttp://www.maxallancollins.comnoreply@blogger.com
