Happy Birthday Philly Native Larry Fine.



If Three Stooge Larry Fine were still alive today he'd be pretty old. Because he was born in 1902.

I don't choose to do the math on TBY because if I did, you'd never really learn it now would you?

Did you know Larry Fine was a violinist and a boxer? And that his dad accidentally spilled acid on his arm? Yup. It's all right here in this Wikipedia article.

Happy Birthday Larry Fine. Wherever you are.

    I had a boss who looked just like that. And the mentally retarded office messenger used to bellow "LARRY!" at him every day.

    My favorite Stooge was Shemp.

    No, not really.

    I always thought the guy was a little strange, but that's just me. I imagined that he was an angry drunk, but I heard that from Howard Stern first.

    Sklersdad - I think it really needs to come out a bit more on the side to be called a Larry Fine.

    The less I seek my Stooge the closer I am to Fine...

    Peace - Rene

    My favorite is the courtroom one.

    I think I heard they picked larry just because of his wacky hair.

    I vote for heaven. A heaven full of pies he can throw, rugs he can trip over, and triple eyed virgins for him to...you know...poke ;)

    Now there's a man who suffered from his art. Right between the eyeballs.

    Everyone knows Larry Fine was a boxer from the episode where they're professors in the all-girl school.

    Also, Moe was an accomplished paper-tearer-musician-type-person.

    True story.

    You don't remember the boxing one?

    That's because I fucked up that comment and wrote 'boxer' instead of 'violinist.'

    Stay with me...I'm stupid.

    Is this "That Blue Yak" or "That Blue Yuk Yuk Yuk" ?

    Oh wise guy, eh?
