DiCaprio sticks around for a while and helps Mr. Gore floss his teeth

I would rather be lit on fire

Another terrific example was Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

Vera Ellen was a better dancer, the only woman I've ever seen who truly matched Astaire.

The image of hollywood actors and other gofers out there picking the teeth of the likes of Hillary Clinton is rather amusing...And disturbing at the same time...

[CholeraJoe]

In Hillary’s case, the gofers also probably have to squeeze the pimples on her flabby butt.

It’s the one thing that these celebrities crave so desperately, and which their gaggle of agents, managers, publicists and assorted sycophants simply can’t deliver; namely, gravitas. It’s not enough, after all, that the world envy them their fame and fortune. These assorted high school drop-outs and high maintenance nincompoops want to be taken seriously.

The irony is that, after awarding a politically driven Nobel Prize to Al Gore, the Nobel Committee has stripped itself of gravitas.

The Medieval Warm Period was a time of warm climate in Europe. The warmest part of the Medieval Warm Period was from about 950 until 1100 A.D. The warm climate overlaps with a time of high solar activity called the Medieval Maximum. The Medieval Warm Period occurred before the Little Ice Age, a time of cool climate in Europe and other places around the world.

Ugh.

A vicious twit in a pant’s suit?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Sorry to insult twits.

I would rather floss the shark's teeth.

He's right. 80 years and they are still fresh and funny. They ran one yesterday on turner classics. THe one where they take a camper trip into the mountains for Oliver’s health. I laughed my head off. I just love it when Oliver looks into the camera.

The best scenes are the simplest. They’re sitting at a table in the camper eating beans. Stan pulls the table toward himself. This causes Oliver’s plate to gracefully tip over right into his lap. I laughed my guts out.

Enter Powell and Astaire in the youtube search for more good stuff!

Rogers was quite fine, but don’t forget Debbie Reynolds, who had to keep up with both Gene Kelly AND Donald O’Connor at the same time.

For this post I offer you a laurel, and hardy handshake.

You are absolutely right!! They were the funniest team in history IMHO. And... they did it with no nudity and no profanity.

Lizanne Truex would have put them both to shame. (She's the little blonde pixie in the 1955 movie "Oklahoma").
