5. the only claim to fame of town where I was born, Jamestown, NY

is that Lucille Ball is from there, and every year in May, they have the "LucyFest" which is a big draw (at least for that region of the state:)

11. Vitameatavegamin

I love the Marx Bros., Laurel & Hardy, etc. ... but, after watching Lucy doing Vitameatavegamin (how many times now?) ... all the body language, mouth movements, eyes ... the commercial's take-by-take changes ... it's flawless ...

6. I can watch a Marx Brothers movie

Just about anytime. Groucho, for all his faults and problems in real life, was just plain revolutionary with his comedy.

7. Laurel and Hardy

Always unfailingly polite (at first)...always a bit down on their luck...always the victim of circumstances beyond their control...

Funny as hell in silent films, and just as funny in sound. The Music Box is a GREAT film.

13. I love them too

I like their short films best (such as the Music Box) but they did some classic full length films as well: Sons of the Desert and Way Out West.

I've been told I'm a rarity: a woman who loves the Stooges. :D

21. Lenny Bruce?

This guy changed everything and put himself on the line. Plus, 40 years later, it's still funny.
