The Fine Life
I write this in the middle of a brutal and annoying hailstorm with threatening tornadoes which is wreaking havoc upon my wee small newbie vegetables, therefore I may seem a bit disliberate. But right here be a video interview of Larry Fine (also known as the "Shy Beatle") from the Motion Picture Country Home (also known as The Place They Go To Die):
A strange, but compelling video clip. The embed is disabled.
It's ten minutes, so unless you have a true hard on for the Stooges, frankly I'd pass. But it is fascinating in the way only pinstroked and probably drunk old men can be (see, viz. my archives).
Now, I bow before no man in my admiration for Larry Fine (also known as Brian Jones, the tragic Stone). But to hear the old fellow recreate his first meeting with the Howard brothers, wherein he posits that, You know, I really didn't think the little fuckers were up to my game, why, he fucking turned the worm. He Pete Best'd the boys.
That is fucking awesome.
And, since that embed was disabled, I give you my favorite archived pic of all time. Yes, even better than me in Jamaica in the root suit (Rob Sama owns that pic, btw. I call it his Burn Notice). Finage:
I used to get up at 5am to watch the stooges. They were a laugh riot. My favorite team was Moe Larry and Curly.
Here's another short interview with Moe Howard.

The great thing about virtual gifts is that you don't have to like them, you don't have to use them, no need to return them, and you don't ever have to recycle them. Party on and enjoy your week before Obama outlaws it. So especially for you, one at a time:
GIVE THIS a quick look. A little puzzle.

He may have been drunk, but I note that he never moved his left hand or even that arm. The slurred speech was likely the results of a stroke.
That's something. They'd do eight films a year -- five days per film -- and all on borrowed sets from whatever other movies happened to be in production at the time.

Posted by: Guy S at April 13, 2009 3:05 PM.... I read the other day that Larry was a professional boxer for a short time.... only had one fight as a pro, and he won it.....
.... I'd hate to have been the guy who walked around for the rest of his life knowing that Larry Fine had kocked him out....
