....Get up, you sleepyheads!...HELLO?....Anybody here???.....Awww, heck!.... SOMEbody will show up...they ALWAYS do!....it's FRIDAY!.....CAMP Day!......You're not in the woods, Tarzan!....Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!!....spread out!......What was your family decomposed of?....Huh??.... (Move your cursor over the graphics & words to find the hidden audio links!) Welcome to Camp RUN-A-MUK!
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of watching the Three Stooges. I loved the pie fights, and to this day, I still want to take part in a banana cream pie fight. I laughed again when Moe shaved feathers and shaving cream off the turkey and then flung the mess off the razor with a splat! right into Larry's face. After cleanly shaving the turkey, Moe applied after-shave on the bird and massaged it like a barber. And many others love the Stooges, too. The Three Stooges still rate in the top ten of America's all-time favorite performers along with John Wayne, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Gleason. Up until a few months ago, the Three Stooges were still running in prime time in Germany. Now Warner Bros. is planning a Three Stooges feature film written by the Farrelly brothers (Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary). It will feature actors playing the Stooges in a modern-day adventure. The Three Stooges were actually the six stooges. Moe Howard and Larry Fine were always part of the act, but over the years, Curly (Jerome Howard), Shemp (Samuel Howard ), Joe (Joe Besser), and Curly Joe (Joe DeRita) joined in. Moe, Curly and Shemp were three of five brothers born to Jennie and Solomon Horowitz (who changed their last name to Howard). Moe's real name was Moses Horowitz. The Three Stooges are the most long-lived and notorious of comedy teams, but they are buried under a reputation as the lowest and the worst that the movies have to offer. But as a movie fan, I only demand one of two things: depth or, failing that, velocity without sentiment. Few comedy teams were as fast and unsentimental as the Three Stooges. And if they were as stupid as most critics assumed, their fingers would have been out of the public eye long ago. Even describing them seems beside the point. Surely everyone knows their act: Moe, the egotistical, bowl-haircutted leader using force (a slap, poke in the eye, or knock on the head) to ride herd on his partners: the emotive, frizzy-haired Larry, super-ego: Curly (and other third Stooges) as the id, the muscle of the group, yet easily cowed by the wrath of Moe. Thumbing their way to Camp Run-A-Muk? Have any "Stooge" moments to share? |
Nobody will understand you today, and it will be impossible to get the simplest idea across. For example, even such a basic concept as "please untie me and take this gag out of my mouth" will only cause people to stare at you in confusion.
Not a good time to discuss sauerkraut. At least not if you value your friendships, and your sanity.
Crisply salute everyone you meet today. They'll all be startled into saluting back, and then they'll feel like idiots. You should then smile charmingly at them, and saunter off.
This is an excellent day to dare. Dare to eat a peach. Dare to wear your trousers rolled, and walk along the beach. Dare to be different. That sort of thing.
This is a good time to remember Einstein's advice, to make things as simple as possible, but no simpler. That applies both to theoretical physics, and in your case, to dinner.
You will invent a modernized version of the ancient game of horseshoe throwing. You will call it "hubcaps." This will have several advantages over the older game, not least of which is that a car doesn't kick the crap out of you when you try to steal its hubcaps.
Good day to stand on the sidewalk near a tall building, and stare up at the roof. You'll meet some interesting people that way.
Today you should enjoy "postlaunch solarizing." Q: What does that mean? A: How should I know? It's your life, you tell me.
Today you will begin a new hobby: collecting spores, molds, and fungus. You will find it richly rewarding, in a spiritual sense.
Someone will ask you if you'd like some "fresh ground pepper" on your salad. Personally (this may be just a "Ron" thing), I always say "yes" to people carrying a baseball bat, outside a playing field.
You will get the peculiar urge to go outside and roll around in something yicky. Also, you'll notice your ears are getting hairy.
Good day to put a few kumquats, some of those teensy little ears of corn, and a few brussels sprouts in a tiny little bowl, and leave it on someone's doorstep with a tiny little note reading "Dear Big People...." |

Prayers offered up.
"Today you will begin a new hobby: collecting spores, molds, and fungus. You will find it richly rewarding, in a spiritual sense."
What do you mean, a "NEW" hobby? I've been collecting those for a looooog time!
You have a snow blower, I imagine . . .
What kind of scrapbook? Maybe I can help!
Is this a "Naval" thing?
Need some burka scraps???
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
No, religious......
Holy Moldy?
Prayers for you and your family at the sudden loss of the precious little boy.
I am a Scrapbooking consultant - can't mention company name here cause I *think* it's a violation of my contract - seen as promoting my business online which is taboo. I just have to get all my junk together and organized for tonight. I am currently working on books for all 4 kids. And tonight some friends and I will be doing pre-decorated pages for a friend who's about to have a baby! Yes - I'm insane! LOL!

My wife does "stamping".
