Let's do a poll!

73 de Jim, N2EY

(who actually met Moe Howard back in the 1970s)

Most incredibly Kewl!



Let's look at the personalities:

Moe - impatient, grumpy, and given to yelling, temper tantrums and name
calling.

Out of the three, Lenover21, William, and Steve, the person showing the
biggest tendency to do this is of course Lenover21. While Steve can
certainly throw out the insults with the best of them, he reserves it
for when he is provoked. Len apparently finds my middle of the road and
mild posts provoking.
Next is a problem. Larry is a relatively mild mannered straight man that
bears half or maybe more of Moe's angry outbursts, plus an unending
stream of name calling. I have to see Larry as more like myself or even
you, Jim!

Now to the others. William appears to feel kind of put-upon lately,
judging from his posts. I think that the stooge that most fits his
present situation is Joe Besser. I can still hear Joe' "Stopp iit" when
I think of him.

Now for the last of the trio. Remember how Curly Howard would get all
spun up and make noises when Moe would poke him in the eye or smack him
on the head with a hammer. He was good for a "hmmmm.. wise guy!",
barking at Moe, and even getting in pokes at Moe of his own.

Yes, Curly Howard in this poll is our own Steve.


Isn't it fascinating that the Stooges were lind of looked down upon in
their time, and now have truly achieved immortality? And all that, when
they apparently never read a script that they didn't like. That is a
talent they shared with Lucille Ball. Both could take garbage material,
and make us laugh with it. Genius.

We're already way past that point. Which is why I don't bother to read

transmitting voice by radio in 1900, not 1906? The response wasn't

73 de Jim, N2EY

(who actually met Moe Howard back in the 1970s)

Most incredibly Kewl!

It was at a film festival in NJ. Several hours of classic Stooges.
Guest of honor was Moe, who did not look at all like he does in the
films - until he took off his glasses and combed his hair forward.
Then, except for the silver hair, he *was* Moe.

Let's look at the personalities:

Moe - impatient, grumpy, and given to yelling, temper tantrums and name
calling.

Also demands to be the boss of whatever is done.

Out of the three, Lenover21, William, and Steve, the person showing the
biggest tendency to do this is of course Lenover21. While Steve can
certainly throw out the insults with the best of them, he reserves it
for when he is provoked. Len apparently finds my middle of the road and
mild posts provoking.

Len finds *anything* other than complete agreement with his stated
opinions to be provoking. That's just the way he is. His act here
jumped the shark years ago.

Next is a problem. Larry is a relatively mild mannered straight man that
bears half or maybe more of Moe's angry outbursts, plus an unending
stream of name calling. I have to see Larry as more like myself or even
you, Jim!

Agreed - except that in some cases Larry will take part in the
violence chain (Moe slaps Larry, Larry slaps Curly, Curly
slaps...nobody there to slap)

You and I don't do that, which further provokes Moe....er, Len.

Now to the others. William appears to feel kind of put-upon lately,
judging from his posts. I think that the stooge that most fits his
present situation is Joe Besser. I can still hear Joe' "Stopp iit" when
I think of him.

Good point! But I would say Brian is more Larry-like in some ways.

Now for the last of the trio. Remember how Curly Howard would get all
spun up and make noises when Moe would poke him in the eye or smack him
on the head with a hammer. He was good for a "hmmmm.. wise guy!",
barking at Moe, and even getting in pokes at Moe of his own.

Yes, Curly Howard in this poll is our own Steve.

You do make a good point.

Isn't it fascinating that the Stooges were lind of looked down upon in
their time, and now have truly achieved immortality? And all that, when
they apparently never read a script that they didn't like.

Much of their stuff was adlibbed. The scripts were extremely basic.
The point was the visual gags, special effects, and the juxtaposition
of proper society and the Stooges' antics.

Nobody before or since has done a better piefight or sound effects
associated with bonks on the head, etc.

That is a
talent they shared with Lucille Ball.

I loved Lucy in the original show. The key to her humor was that she
would do absolutely *anything* onscreen if it were funny. The giant
bread loaf - the "meatavegavitamin" commercial - the pregnancy sight
gags - the classic mirror scene with Harpo Marx... Sadly, after she
split with Desi Arnaz the followup shows did not have that quality,
IMHO.

It is not generally appreciated that Lucy invented many sitcom
standards. The use of 3 cameras and the separate production company
(Desilu) are but two of her ideas.

Oddly enough, "I Love Lucy" and "The Three Stooges" were not imitated
to any great degree. Perhaps that explains part of their appeal.

Consider "The Honeymooners" which is the source of almost every
family-based sitcom for over half a century, from "The Flintstones" to
"Mad About You" to "According to Jim". Been copied a zillion times
because it works. Yet the originals are still funny.

Simple formula: Big, loud, bombastic husband and smart, pretty,
assertive wife. Neighbor/relative couple composed of slightly-older
somewhat-dim-but-likeable husband and smart-attractive-friendly wife.
BLB hubby gets into various jams, finally realizes his mistake, SPA
wife always forgives him. Wife is never fazed by anything hubby does -
stands right up to him. Jim Belushi and Courtney Thorne-Smith are just
channeling Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows.

Almost all sitcoms were based on the Honeymooners formula until the
mid-late 1970s. The only real change was the addition of kids (usually
precocious and smart-mouthed).

Then "Barney Miller", "WKRP" and later "Taxi" invented the workplace
ensemble comedy. Which is also highly imitated.

"Home Improvement" blended the two genres almost perfectly.

Of course for every classic, there are many many which were a waste of
time from the beginning.

Both could take garbage material,
and make us laugh with it.

Not garbage at all! Elegant. Not a wasted line or shot in the shows.

Genius.

Agreed!

There is a difference between civil anonymity and non-civil anonymity.
To not get that is to not get it.

Incorrect.

If there is no disagreement, then anonymity is just peachy.

But it is their anonymity that is -attacked- when there is a
disagreement, i.e., Steve calls them cowardly scum for hiding behind a
mask.

But I am not Steve!

What a broad paintbrush we paint with.

You tolerate it, even condone it.

What a broad zone of tolerance you have for the PCTA, and how narrow it
gets...

I tolerate Leo too.

Tolerance isn't in fashion much these days. Too bad.

Why do you state the obvious?

PCTA don't allow a single bit of tolerance for those who do not love,
honor, and cherish the beloved morse code.

A few might blow air-kisses at NCTA in an attempt to demonstrate
their "tolerance," but that is just lip-service.

ARS = Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society to the PCTA.

It's just a matter of trying to determine which face you're presenting
with any given topic.

What you see is what you get, Steve. Just to clear up any confusion on
your part, here are my thoughts on the predominate topics regularly
discussed here on rrap.

1 -- I think that Morse (CW) is a fun operating mode, sort of like
restoring old-time automobiles.
2 -- I do not think that Morse testing ought to be required to obtain an
amateur radio license of any class.
3 -- I think that you, Len, and Brian are a modern-day reincarnation of
the Three Stooges. You guys ought to petition NBC or CBS to revive that
show on TV.

Two out of three ain't bad... :-)



Wonder if he's drunk? And abrasive as all sailors can be.

Reencacting Cinderella Liberty.

It might be the funny little hat and bell-bottoms they have to wear.

Also the regulation uniform...


That's why they got their name stenciled over their back pocket. So
you can tell one dumbass from the next.

Now, now...we have to be "civil" to the uniform wearers, those
resplendant in PCTA Class-As.


Then you've got multiple-personality Steve asking what face someone is
presenting!!!

Hi, hi!

Such comedy, such slapstick!

Old-school vaudeville...the sticks molded out of old Handbooks.

Curtain call happened long ago but they hang around hoping for
an audience.

Let me know when one of these guys goes over Niagara in a barrel.

Offhand, I'd say they all had done it. That's why they are as they
are. Trauma from all the tumbling going over them falls.

I have a similar system. Some authors are totally blocked, others I
read completely. Saves time and makes rrap a much better experience.


That works very well for ostriches.

Depends if there is any content of worth.

Sometimes the obvious needs stated. You clearly know that.

Uh huh.

It's quite obvious there is little (nearly zero) tolerance of NCTAs by
the PCTA. In here.

You knew that...but, lacking a good comeback, you mumble into
your keyboard a lot of null sentence content. :-)

PCTA don't allow a single bit of tolerance for those who do not love,
honor, and cherish the beloved morse code.

Uh huh.

Well, that's how it is with the ARS [Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society]

If the code test goes, the PCTA extras lose their main bragging
right statement. Tsk.

A few might blow air-kisses at NCTA in an attempt to demonstrate
their "tolerance," but that is just lip-service.

Observation. With open eyes. :-)

Take in all, don't bury head in sand to avoid hearing independent thoughts.

Let the ARRL by your radio hobby "Miss Manners" and Tell You What
You Should Do, implant all the "correct" thoughts you should think.
They've done that for many years. Lots of hams follow their lead to the
letter. [in psywar circles that is termed "brainwashing"]

Always reject "improper" thoughts expressed by anyone else. League
would like that. Follow them like lemmings.

Not me. Been in real communications radio on HF and am open to
all ideas, not those that were "official" back before I was born.

Independent thinking is not for the faint of heart...or those who feel
they get their "chops busted" when someone rejects their "official"
opinions.
