Abdicating my Guy-ness

I, a 29 year-old single heterosexual male, do solemnly swear that I don’t like the Three Stooges. I prefer Tom and Jerry for my slapstick. And the Fish-slapping Dance.

I’m not sure why I dislike the Stooges, other than the fact that they’re not funny. Kind of like “I Love Lucy.”

maybe you can become a “guy-necologist”

Ah grasshopper, you look but you do not see. To be a man does not mean you must like the Stooges but only that you “get” the Stooges. Now go ponder the sound of one coconut bonking.

thinksnow, did you actually think that would work?

I hate the stooges. There, I said it too.

I request that any physical abuse directed toward me for this comment be delivered by women dressed in black leather. Thanks.

Lessee… two pairs of sandals, one pair of flip-flops, one pair of sneakers, one pair of Doc Martens…
…oh,dear…

Any real fan of great physical humor knows that real men prefer Buster Keaton.

My son would watch The Three Stooges and laugh until he scared me, laughing until he couldn’t breathe. Then he turned five. And watched rapt admiration the WWF. But then he turned 11. He spent a little time with the XFL, but then he turned the TV off----Little Leauge season is upon him now.

I like the idea of the Stooges, but not the actual Stooges themselves, except as a historical document.

Did you know their first movie appearance was with Joan Crawford? They were in “Dancing Lady” with her and Clark Gable and Fred Astaire - not all in the same scene you understand. It was also Fred’s first movie.

The Stooges had a scene with Joan where they had to fire her from the broadway show in which she was a humble chorus girl. She outsmarted them. Figures.

They had a straight man (!!) who had his name at the front of the act - Ted somebody’s Three Stooges.

Dancing Lady was a Big Hit for MGM. I don’t think it was because of the Stooges though.

I think it’s sweet and innocent the way they are often shown as all sleeping in the same bed. I don’t think that happened in real life, though.

Can you imagine how strange it must have been to be married to a Stooge?

“Well, Curly’s wife has a new icebox, so why can’t I?”

“Yes and Curly’s wife spends all day at the beauty parlour eatin’ those bon-bons too, and that ain’t gonna happen!”

“Oh, I should have married Moe, when I had the chance…”
Here in Australia there is actually a town named Moe. In Victoria, by the sea. Of course there’s no connection, but wouldn’t it be a good place to have a big Stooges Fan Convention?

I didn’t like that later new Stooge. He seemed a bit unhygienic somehow. Goodness, I hope he’s not reading this.

Is this enough aimless musings? [yes -Editor]
