I have to ask...

Who is Moe, who is Larry, and who is Curly/Shemp?

hehe, well we all know who Moe is!


I don't. C'mon, spell it out.


Now figuring out the other two is more of a problem.


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.
