Yeah, eight of which saw the longest peacetime economic expansion in history,
military buildup that reduced the USSR to rubble, putdown of a tyrant
in Iraq, feel-good-about-your-country years.  Now the global economy is
reeling, the U.S. is feeling its brunt the least, and we still whine.  Why? 
Because of a deficit, interest on which is being paid by the same percentage
of income that you probably have on your mortgage.  And if you think
Clinton can improve the deficit any better than Bush, you have been smoking
too much hemp.  Besides, aren't we having fun listening to Dandy Dan's

Yes, just recently when I saw a thread with the subject line -

"Party at Kitty and Studs's"

This seemed to remind me of a previous thread and then, when I read further, 
the whole post seemed remarkably familiar.

Strangely familiar yet slightly altered stories attributed to Winston
Churchill.  Even the name of the poster,  Trelford Pinkerton,  sounded 
similar but not quite the same as someone else who used to post on A.F.U.
The .signature looked familiar as well.

I can tell you this sent shivers down my spine.

Is this wierd or what?

The only episode I can remeber with both Curly and Shemp was a "Shemp
Episode" on a trian...the one with the tiger running loose...Curly is on
the train...with hair...he has a hat on his face...snoring...The Stooges
lift his hat and he has a clothes pin on his nose.

If I have this right (it's been a while)...Shemp was Moe's brother...he was
in episodes both before and after Curly...Shemp was one of the originals
when they were in vaudeville...under a diff name...can't remember now...


Hope that helps...and I hope it was right...

Yes indeed, this is the ONLY bit of film where ALL three Howard brothers
appear on the screen at the same time.

I think his name was Samuel, but "Shemp" was the nickname he went by
as a kid. Shemp was the oldest Howard brother while Curly was the
youngest (in show business).

Its off the track, but another tidbit that most people are surprised
to find out is that Curly was actually quite a lady's man. He was
married FOUR times. Lends more meaning to Curly lines such as "Are
you married or happy?" or the following.....             :)

Moe, Shemp and Curly are all brothers, last name Howard (actually Horowitz,
I believe).  The original act in vaudeville was Moe, Larry and Shemp, but
Shemp quit and they brought in Curly (real name, Jerry) to replace him.
Curly had a stroke and was pretty severely incapacitated.  Both walking
and speaking were really hard for him.  Moe and Shemp got him in the film
mentioned above, but I believe it was his only film appearance after his
stroke.

Please e-mail this list if you've got it. Much thanks!
