Pretty weak line up. (in my opinion) None of them fell in my top 10 favorites. I'll take Self-Made Maids, just for the effort it took to make it.

Well, this isn't a battle of shorts.. just the ones that are rarely seen either on TV or video. I'm not huge on the Curly lineup, either, which is why I cast my first vote for Slaphappy Sleuths. You have to admit all of the classic Curly's are included in the 130-short syndication package and these are some decent Shemps.

If this were a battle of the classic Curly's, then we'd have something interesting - but being we did something like that recently with Moe Hailstone's new DVD game that seems kind of pointless so soon.

This round I'll vote for He Cooked His Goose. I really like this one, its nice to see them break format every
once in awhile and I think it works in this, and how can you not love the music that plays whenever Larry gets
an evil thought in his brain.

Three Pests in a Mess

Easily a Curly classic!

"Did you kick me?"
"No!"

This short also has one of the biggest technical goofs, ever, in a Stooge picture. Vernon Dent says he's giving a masquerade party, Conklin is a happy little devil, smiling and enjoying a drink and looking around and reacting as though a party is happening offscreen. Thing is, there's no party sounds-- no voices, music or nothin'!

Three Pests in a Mess

Easily a Curly classic!

In total agreement. One of my all-time favorite Curly's. My vote goes to Three Pests in a Mess as well.

Dunrobin · **Reply #6 on:** January 02, 2008, 12:11:44 PM

Make mine Scrambled (Brains, that is!)

Moe Hailstone · **Reply #7 on:** January 02, 2008, 12:21:15 PM

How did I miss seeing this yesterday?!

Loose Loot get a vote from me.

"Sock-A-By Baby".

Moe: What did you eat when you were a baby?

Curly: Weeds!

Rusty Romeos

archiezappa · **Reply #10 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:10:04 AM

My vote is for "Rhythm & Weep." That's probably my favorite of the later Curly's.

Moron4392 · **Reply #11 on:** January 03, 2008, 10:50:12 AM

I would have to agree with "Jazz Bill", this is a pretty weak line-up of choices. But picking from the line-up I would like to cast my vote as follows please. Thank you for taking the time to post my vote I do appreciate it.

Slaphappy Sleuths this time around.

locoboymakesgood · **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2008, 11:23:10 AM

Cuckoo on a Choo Choo for me.

And Moron, I didn't count anything written in your post since you didn't read the first post at all. If you'd like to play please follow the rules.

Moe Hailstone · **Reply #14 on:** January 03, 2008, 03:23:59 PM

Monkey Businessmen for me this time. It saddens me to see Curly in it though.

I looked back at the rules and realized that I can vote each day. (I must have overlooked it the first time.)

If I can vote for the same short, make mine Scrambled again! I just love Scrambled ~~Brains~~ Eggs for breakfast!

Normally I'm not one for some rules in a game on a message board, but when someone replies with basically every short on the list and doesn't read what I initially wrote it makes it harder to tally up the votes.

I need a life. haha.

I've always had love for the Besser-era, so I'm going with Space Ship Sappy today.

Justin T · **Reply #21 on:** January 04, 2008, 03:01:54 PM

I'm voting for Slaphappy Sleuths again.

Moe Hailstone · **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2008, 03:55:56 PM

Flying Saucer Daffy for me.

I can actually get a chuckle from Joe with this short.

Hey Loco Boy Makes Good:

I am sorry for making that mistake. Please forgive me. This is why I am a "Moron". I would like to try again. I mis-read the instructions. I did not see the part where it was posted one short from each section. I hope I have completed it correctly this time. Again sorry for be a nusiance.

The Yoke's On Me

Remember when the Three Stooges went on an Easter Egg hunt and the EggS kept sTICKing to their fingers? Think about it!
