The Stooges are a guy thing. My wife and daughters cringe when I watch the boys.
I love the Stooges. My wife, not so much.
In 1986 I won 5 pounds of Starbucks coffee beans by being the first one to call in the correct answer to a Stooges trivia question on the local rock radio station.
The question: How many Stooges have their actually been?
The answer: Five - Moe, Larry, Curly, Curly Joe, and Shemp.
I'll split it with you...Toward the end Emil Sitka nearly filled in for Larry Fine in an upcoming (but never finished) movie...He did however play many parts in many of their two-reelers...And he did fill in for Larry in some of their road show productions...So he gets half credit as a Stooge, and I get half the coffee...You forgot Joe Besser. Give me the coffee.

Nope, the radio station said my answer was correct and I'm sticking with that.You forgot Joe Besser. Give me the coffee.

How about now? What’s funny is on my computer, not only do I see the image in my post, but in your post too!

Thanks! I can see it now!
I think that you originally inserted it as a link to a file on your computer. To see it we'd all need to have to have remote access to your computer's hard drive. Obviously we don't have that access - but you could still see it because you do.
Now that it has been uploaded to the forum everyone with access to the forum can see it.
Anyway, I spent untold hours watching re-runs of the Stooges in elementary school. I recognize Moe in the middle, and Curly Joe on the left, but I don't recognize the guy on the right.
What was his character's name?
They also had a somewhat regular cast of co-stars who were quite funny too.
