I have spent the last (2002 on) years here at ThreeStooges.net and have always said my call name "Giff me dat fill-em!" was because I was a Shemp fan, EVEN though I chose a caricature of Ted Healy as my icon. Since that time I have come to realize that The Three Stooges are more than just a childhood obsession ... they are a reflection of our past as Americans, both the good and the absurd. And as such, I renounce my allegiance to Shemp and embrace the greater Stooge good ... (group hug)
