Around NYC?

This is a friendship that should have happened long ago :)

I LIVE HERE!

Got your email and can’t wait to read it.

You could be a left winger and we’d be pals. :)

MARXism overcomes Republicanism every time!!! :)

I looked at ALL my CDs, and I have all of them except that one. Big Store, Go West, and some others i’ve never watched fully.

Did you know about Marxfest in NYC? The people involved in the revival of I'll Say She Is were also involved with Marxfest.

You probably ought to watch Love Happy once to say you've seen all their work, but I will quote again Joe Adamson's remark: "Love Happy would have been the high point of any other comedy team's career, and everyone involved with it wishes it were."

And two hard-boiled eggs. (Honk!)

My two favorite Marx Brothers scenes are:

1. The Tootsy-Frootsie Ice Cream skit from "A Day at the Races"

and

2. The contract skit from "A Night at the Opera".

"That? Oh, that. That's just a sanity clause. That's in every contract."

"You can't fool me ... there ain't no Sanity Clause".

Zeppo left the act and never quite got replaced. Alan Jones, who was in A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races, was the best of them.

He joined brother Gummo (who was also a funny guy) in his talent agency. Shortly thereafter, Groucho received a proposal that he, Harpo, and Chico didn't want to do, so he told them to "Talk to my agents."

"Who are your agents?"

"The Marx Brothers."

Zeppo was an inventor, as well, and a good businessman. A man of many talents. (And a few marriages.)

NOW to get to question that has plagued me for ages!!

“you haven’t got a breeder’s guide??!??!

“Not so loud. I don’t want it to get out that I don’t have a breeder’s guide. Even my best friends don’t know that I dont have a breeder’s guide!”

IS THIS the FUNNIEST “dirty” joke ever told without curse words or is there ANY chance Groucho didn’t mean for it to come across like that?

He had to, right? :)

I DIE laughing every time I hear that line..:)

“here’s your florida call mr whitmore” :)

“Are you sure you have everything, Otis?”
“I’ve never had any complaints yet.”

The state of Georgia excised that line.

How did you know that? I’m a film buff but you seem like a film AND history buff of the Marx Brothers.

I know NOTHING outside of their movies.

Jealous. :)
