Why 3 Knuckle-heads are my HEROES!!!

Much like my recent post about a 'certain pair of caped crusaders', this one is about some other VERY important people in my childhood!!! Heck, they've been VITAL to me throughout my life!!!  I'm talking, of course, about the masters of mayhem themselves, 'Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, and Dr. Howard'--- The 3 Stooges!!!
These 3 shameless GOOFBALLS influenced me in countless ways!! Mostly in the VERY critical area of both not taking myself TOO seriously,AND being able to laugh--- no matter WHAT life may throw at you!! Whether it be hardships & heartaches... or just a coconut cream pie!!

I could go on and on about how the boys have helped the 'ol Loydster through COUNTLESS tough times, brought me A good belly-laugh EXACTLY when I needed it, etc.... BUT---- it's just as easy to show you!!!--- FIRST, let's look at what they're MOST famous for----

All right..... now that we've refreshed our memories of what we ALL remember about the guys that made us laugh in 3rd grade (and STILL does!!!), how about a look at what caught my attention a little later in life, say around junior high or so!!! The Marx Brothers were more famous for their 'word-play', but the Stooges could do EXTREMELY funny verbal stuff too!!!-----
Now----- Just so we can remember how REALLY well-rounded a team these fellas were, let's have a look-see at how they could even handle a swingin' little musical number,goofing around with the alphabet!!!----
I think the above clips show the evidence pretty well!!!--- Just WHY the Stooges have stayed in the top spot of  my list of favorite folks who ALWAYS make me laugh!!! Not only make me laugh, but MORE important, make me forget life's cares, troubles and problems--- even if it's for just the 17- 18 minutes running length that each of their shorts run!!!

Oh, there are OTHERS in my little 'mental-top-ten-list' of classic comedy teams!! This includes the above mentioned Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, a handful of others. But Moe, Larry, Curly--- and yes, in a few shorts, even SHEMP--- They will ALWAYS be the 'team SUPREME', when it comes to making me realize just how MUCH it helps your heart & mind to laugh!!! DAILY and as often as possible!! I recommend at least a once-a-month dose of 'Stooge-watching' be added to EVERYBODY'S diet!!!

                                                     See you NEXT time, gang!!!!
