GOD SAYS YOUR NEIGHBOR’S ASS IS OFF-LIMITS

You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or ass, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. This is the last of big ten, at least as we currently know them. The lack of grammar and punctuation, not to mention the … Continue reading GOD SAYS YOUR NEIGHBOR’S ASS IS OFF-LIMITS

COMEDY, COMEDIANS AND COMEDIC RANGE – TOM CURLEY

I love comedy. I always have. When I was a kid and got a transistor radio, I didn’t care much for all the songs about love and romance. I loved the novelty songs. The silly songs. I grew up worshiping Alan Sherman. I still can recite the lyrics to most of his songs by heart. … Continue reading COMEDY, COMEDIANS AND COMEDIC RANGE – TOM CURLEY

A TEXAS CHILI COOK-OFF

This is an old joke that never gets too old. The first time I saw it was in the early 1990s. My boss sent it to everyone in the office -- followed by the sound of people choking with laughter. He was the best boss ever. It is thirty years later and the computer on … Continue reading A TEXAS CHILI COOK-OFF

YOU JUST HAD TO BE HERE

Recently Marilyn mentioned: I was watching Colbert's show from last Friday. He was doing "space news" for that section of monologue. So he says "Alexa will be going to space." This was followed by a few dumb questions astronauts might ask Alexa. Generally, our Alexas turn light on in a few places -- like the … Continue reading YOU JUST HAD TO BE HERE

Notes on a Cowardly Lion: A Biography of Bert Lahr

It's been more than a week since I finished reading the Bert Lahr biography, "Notes on a Cowardly Lion", written by his son, John. I am still emotionally involved. Why? Why does a book written more than 40 years ago about a show business figure who peaked more than 70 years ago still sit front and center … Continue reading Notes on a Cowardly Lion: A Biography of Bert Lahr

HORSES & THEIR SILVER SCREEN COWBOYS – TOM CURLEY

Marilyn and Garry wrote a blog a while back about watching one of their favorite movies, "Rustler’s Rhapsody." It’s also one of my favorite movies. They introduced it to me. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I  love introducing it to any friend who hasn’t seen it before. It’s a very loving parody of … Continue reading HORSES & THEIR SILVER SCREEN COWBOYS – TOM CURLEY

MY BROTHER ESAU WAS A HAIRY MAN AND MORE – PETER COOK & DUDLEY MOORE

For reasons unknown, being hirsute is offensive to God. From this astonishing revelation, Monty Python was born and we've been laughing ever since. Well, some of us anyway. You may put away your bibles, but don't forget to drop some money in the basket. I so enjoyed these pieces that I picked up both available … Continue reading MY BROTHER ESAU WAS A HAIRY MAN AND MORE – PETER COOK & DUDLEY MOORE
