The Gorilla in a Tutu Principle Or, Pecan Pie at Minnie and Earl's
The Gorilla in a Tutu Principle or, Pecan Pie at Minnie and Earl’s Adam-Troy Castro Prior Analog stories set against the backdrop of this very strange period in the history of lunar colonization were "Sunday Night Yams at Minnie and Earl's" (June 2001) and "Gunfight at Farside" (April 2009). Many years ago—and when a man as old as I am uses the phrase, “many years ago,” he means a lifetime—I told Minnie, “I’m an engineer, not a poet.” Minnie was a dear old gal of unfailing honesty, with a central role in what follows. I was in love with her eyes. I don’t mean this in a sexual way. The difference between our ages, and certainly our backgrounds, would have made that grotesque. But her eyes were rich and deep, and filled with an understanding of life’s greatest mysteries, that made them a perfect place to lose yourself when she was pointing out how silly you are. I haven’t seen her or her husband Earl in decades, but I can picture those eyes like it was yesterday. When I told her I wasn’t a poet, she said, “How dare you. It’s okay to operate under a poetry deficit, but to imply that deficit for an entire profession is dishonest. I’ve known more than my share of engineers, and any number of poets among them. Great engineering is poetry.” I suppose she was right. She was, in most things. Regardless, I can speak for myself. I’m not a poet, not even in the sense that sweet lady meant.

In 1925, Eight Actors Were Dedicated to a Dream. Expatriated from Their Broadway Haunts by Constant Film Commitments, They Wante
In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson. Then, proposing a toast, he declared, “To the Masquers!

Stan and Ollie'
'Stan and Ollie' A Screenplay By Jeff Pope Stan and Ollie - Goldenrod Revisions 20.04.17 1 BLACK. UNDER THIS this we hear a conversation. HARDY (V.O.) ... so Madelyn turned up. LAUREL (V.O.) Madelyn turned up? HARDY (V.O.) Completely out of the blue. Haven’t seen her in fifteen years... 1INT. DRESSING ROOM/ROACH LOT/STUDIO - DAY 1 Oliver HARDY leans against the door to a dressing room, worried expression, talking to his friend Stan LAUREL. Both are in their late-40s, (at the peak of their movie careers), but to begin with we have no real clue as to who they are, where they are or what they do. They are just two guys in cheap suits talking to each other. HARDY lights up a cigarette as he talks. HARDY There she was, all gussied up on the front door step. And that’s something I never thought I’d see again. LAUREL picks up a boot (the right one) with a large hole in the sole. Using a knife he levers off the heel. LAUREL What’d she want? HARDY Twenty thousand bucks. LAUREL Twenty thousand? HARDY Fifteen years of back alimony. I ** said ‘what alimony? When we broke ** up I gave you whatever money I had ** and you took the car.’ We both ** agreed that was that. LAUREL Jeez even Mae wasn’t after that much - and she wanted me to pay for a chauffeur. It’s because our faces ** are plastered all over town. ** Probably some lawyer’s bright idea. ** LAUREL levers off the other heel.

13/03/08 Stanlio & Ollio Teste Dure, 70 Anni
13/03/08 STANLIO & OLLIO TESTE DURE, 70 ANNI DOPO! 1938-2008 Questa volta, eccovi un evento indicatoci da Alessandro Santi, fan sfegatato di Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy: nella sua città organizza, insieme a un buon numero di appassionati, la serata di esilaranza cinematografica STANLIO & OLLIO TESTE DURE 70 ANNI DOPO! 1938- 2008. Il tutto si svolge sabato 15 marzo (prossimo venturo) alle ore 16, presso il Cinema Borsi d’Essai, via San Fabiano, 49, 59100 Prato. La proiezione riguarda BLOCK-HEADS (Stanlio e Ollio Teste Dure – 20 anni dopo, 1938), uno dei più divertenti lungometraggi di Stanlio & Ollio nel settantesimo anniversario della sua uscita. Al film è abbinato, in prima visione cinematografica italiana, il rarissimo cortometraggio della serie Our Gang (Simpatiche Canaglie) dal titolo WILD POSES (Attenti al click!, 1933), che vede la partecipazione di Laurel & Hardy. I film sono restaurati, in pellicola, in versione integrale e in italiano grazie ancora una volta all’amorevole cura e competenza del "Vice Sceicco" Alberto Vangelisti. Con il patrocinio della Provincia di Prato e del Comune di Prato - Circoscrizione Centro. Non mancheranno le SORPRESE dentro e fuori lo schermo!!! L’entrata è a offerta libera (dicono gli organizzatori: "speriamo di replicare il plateale successo dello scorso anno")! I disegni di questo post appartengono alla longeva licenza ottenuta da Larry Harmon per produrre fumetti con Stanlio e Ollio. Non si trattava certo di capolavori da tramandare nei secoli: i disegni sono quello che sono, le gag mediamente scontate, come si nota anche da quella, riprodotta qua sopra, del gelato e dell'ottovolante, sfruttata più volte dagli editor della Dell anche con Bugs Bunny e Elmer Fudd, o con Picchiarello e Oswald the Rabbit.
