Topic: Stoogeum gets a plug.

[JazzBill]

I was watching Stooge A Palooza on TV tonight and Rich Koz showed an article that someone had sent him on the Stoogeum. Stooge A Palooza is a Three Stooges program that comes on every Saturday night from 7 to 9 o'clock, on WCIU in Chicago. They show 5 shorts in the 2 hour slot. No commercials in the middle of the shorts I am happy to say.

[Giff me dat fill-em!]

Let's see ... suppose an average short running time of 17.5 minutes. Multiply that by 5 and that makes 87.5 minutes, and let's round up to 90 minutes for good measure.Two hours equals 120 minutes, so that leaves 30 minutes left over for commercials and what-not (host banter for example). That means that 25% of the two hour time slot is used NOT viewing Stooge episodes. If I were a Chicago area resident, I'd probably be a religious viewer, but I would try to detect a pattern in the presentation of eps that might allow me to put that 25% of two hours to better use other than viewing commercials (like drinking beer or waxing the rhubarb).

I've got two agendas before dying ... visiting the Stogeum and also that Larry Fine thing. (A huge mural in some downtown area, or maybe even an exhibit - it was a thread topic many moons ago).

Owwwwww! Too much math!   

BTW, love the vernacular of waxing the rhubarb. Never heard that one before!

That is Jon's Bar, which is located in the house that Larry was born in! Yeah, man....you have to get there as well as the Stoogeum!

Spike was showing 2 shorts in an hour. So that would come out to 4 shorts in 2 hours. So we get an extra short in the 2 hour span.  Like you said , there is some host banter, but they put the commercials in between the films not in the middle of them.  I couldn't agree with FineBari3 more, you have to go to Philly. I took some pictures of the outside of Jon's Bar, but I don't know how to post them.

Yeah ... for some reason I always watch what Larry is doing while Moe and Curly/Shemp/etc go at it. He is the quintessential middle banana. And he never developed any black spots either!

When you click on "reply" in the topic thread, below the big box for your reply, do you see at the bottom a box for posting attachments? In bold letters it should say "Attach:" with a "browse" button for finding the pictures you want to post ... and below that the types of files that are allowed to be posted. I've experienced a few threads where the "attach" function was disabled, so be not down if you don't see it.

snips... (waxing the rhubarb) ...snips

I've never seen anyone waxing their rhubarb. I usually see it used unwaxed. Seems like it would be better in pies.

I'm not getting the line that say's Attach and Browse. Everything is blank under "Don't use smileys". Maybe it has something to do with my security settings. I hear I'm not the only one with this problem.

You're definitely not the only one.  I'm still unable to attach stuff...

Also, I don't know if anyone here has seen this, but I found this clip on youtube that I just had to post.

Thanks for letting me know that, guys.  That was enough info to allow me to track down the problem, which was a permissions settings for the board.  Only Porcupines (brand new members) aren't allowed to add attachments; Grapeheads and above are supposed to be able to do so.  The problem should be fixed now.

Sweeet!  Thanks Dunrobin!   

[JazzBill]

Oh boy, Let me try this !

Thats a nice picture of you with Joan and her friend. Was that at the banquet ?
I have seen that clip you posted. I don't remember if it was posted here or I saw it at the Stoogeum. But it was nice to see it again. I thought it was very well done.

[curlysdame]

Yep, that was at the banquet.  That's Joan's boyfriend, Jack.  He's a good guy...
