Topic: Trivia Question

[Dunrobin]

Here's a trivia question from Violent is the Word for Curly:

In what year was Mildew College established?

(See if you can answer that from memory.  No fair watching the episode to get the answer -- although it is a good excuse to watch it again!)   

[Dunrobin]

I'm watching Violent right now (hence the trivia question), and I just realized that I always got a line of Moe's wrong.  When Moe and Larry are thawing out Curly over the open fire, Moe pokes Curly with a stick and says,

"Twenty minutes to a pound -- he he -- we'll be here for a month."

For some reason I always thought he said "for a fortnight" (meaning two weeks.)  I have no idea where I got fortnight.

I did a quick calculation: assuming a 30 day month, Moe was saying Curly weighed 2160 lbs!  ((30 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes) / 20 minutes = 2160)

1927(?) What do I win?

(Now I have to watch the episode! Oh woe is Moe!)

Sorry, James, but you're not even close.

I remember it since it's the same year Back to the Future Part III took place: 1885.

[jrvass]

1885? No wonder it is "Mildew-ed"! 

Reminds me of the time I was asked by a monument maker why there was moss on the side of a mausoleum across the "street" from our family's.

I guessed that it was the north side.

He said no. Moss doesn't grow on granite. It was due to coffin gasses seeping through cracks because of improper ventilation! 

More than I wanted to know!

Close, but no cigar.   

Added:  I'll give you a hint.  The college would have been nearly three-quarters of a century old when the short came out.

Then it's 1865. It looks an awful like 1885. That six sucks.

Bingo!  That's it.  You get the pie!   

(When I saw your answer, I suddenly had doubts and re-watched the opening to make sure is really was 1865, as I thought.  I had my brother check it as well, just be make sure I hadn't misread it.)

Should have had Miss Bopper from Spooks, look at it with you, She has a beautiful pair of eyes!

1. Hold That Lion and Booty and The Beast. (Malice in the Palace doesn't count)
2. Shemp and Joe B. (Africa Screams)
3. Emil Sitka, Mantan Moreland (? for the latter)
4. Saw that film once and swore I'd never see it again.
5. ?
6. ?
7. Because Mrs. Horowitz pronounced "Sam" as "Shemp"
8. Rehab for an arm injury
9. George Martin

[xraffle]

#5-6, I have no clue. But #4, the answer is "Moose."

[moe-jo]

5.  Because Moe, Larry, and Curly were the first and best known Stooges.

[BeAStooge]

2. Shemp and Joe B. (Africa Screams)

That's one of 4 possible answers. The other three are...
 - BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD (1933), Moe and Curly
 - JAILBIRDS OF PARADISE (1934), Moe and Curly
 - SCREEN SNAPSHOTS Series 19 # 6 (1940). Larry and Curly

If Ted is considered, another correct answer is STAGE MOTHER (1933), with Ted and Larry.

s/hemphead: I seriously hate to be an annoying idiot here, but I found your post rather difficult to read as the grammar and punctuations are all over the place. Also, there are a lot of typos as well. I'm not a moderator or anything. I'm just some guy that struggles with reading posts like that. So, I hope you can do me a favor and try to type a little better next time. I hope I don't sound too harsh. You seem like a cool person so I don't want to provoke you. Thanks for your understanding.

sweet mystery of life was sung at the end of the movie and by shemps bride to be in brideless groom.

Reading this, I feel a little like James T. Kirk in Star Trek V, ever so slightly drunk, dozing by the campfire with Spock saying goodnight over and over again like a child.

Kirk's only comment? "I don't know. I just don't know."

That is not correct... in BRIDELESS GROOM, Dee Green sings Voices of Spring, by Johann Strauss.

[moe-jo]

in BRIDELESS GROOM, Dee Green sings Voices of Spring, by Johann Strauss.

very badly, I might add.


"You're supposed to be singing about the voices of spring, not about the eruption of a volcano!"  LOL


Shemp's and my advice to Dee Green:  "Gargle with old razor blades."

[xraffle]

It would be great if I can even understand what s/hemphead typed. So much for asking nicely. *sigh*

[BeAStooge]

name the type of harley davison made /named after our boys?

knuckelhead mortorcycles

Knucklehead motorcycles were not named after the Stooges. "Knucklehead" refers to the shape of the engine heads.

[Fake Shemp]

Shemp's and my advice to Dee Green:  "Gargle with old razor blades."

I suppose gargling with old razor blades may make her singing worse. 

[moe-jo]

that's the joke.
