The Nyuk-nyuk Sutra


Was Curly (of The Three Stooges) a Zen master?

Curly: "I'm trying to think, but nothing happens!"

Hey LB,

Yes, Moe, Larry and Curly are three great bodhisattvas.
I remember laughing myself to pieces as a kid every time "The Three Stooges" would come on TV, and my poor father trying to break me of this habit by attempting in vain to get me to switch channels to this goofy, brand-new show called "Sesame Street"...

haaa...thats awesome...
I remember that same laugh, but for my dad it was from Mr. Bean...

What about you? What makes you laugh like that?

Mine is Dick Van Dyke, and more modernly, Golden Girls...

Hey LB,

That's an easy question for me to answer: My favorite TV show (thank you, TV Land!) is "Sanford & Son," starring none other than Fred G. Sanford, and the G stands for guffaw.
Redd Foxx was a genius. Did you know he's mentioned in "The Autobiography of Malcolm X"? Apparently, he was a dishwasher (and a very funny one) in some restaurant before he got into show business, and that's when Malcolm X knew him.
I also like "The Real World" on MTV, because watching that show makes me glad that I'm almost 44. What a bunch of mo-rons! It sure is fun to watch, though.
