"Soviet citizens came up with ingenious ways to get the books into their country. Members of the Moscow Philharmonic slipped book pages into their sheet music and a young woman who was flying from London to Moscow with her infant son squeezed a mini edition of "The Gulag Archipelago" into the child's diaper. And yes, the programs were covertly funded by the CIA."

- Ludmilla Thorne, New Yorker Covert Art

If one were to call It's a Gift (or The Bank Dick) the greatest comedy ever, I would be hard-pressed to argue with them - hilarious!

For purchase, look here.

The Comedy Collection, Volume One came out some months back, but Volume Two is fresh on shelves, and rounds out the Great Man nicely!

Our two scruffs had a couple of buddies over the other night as a last hurrah as summer ended and school awaited around the corner that actually was this morning. So, having not teevee to click on, my wife and I had to choose a video safe enough to watch for four boys 9-11yrs.

We signed out a dvd from the library of the Marx Bros. at the Circus. Other than a few "mushy song scenes," the movie was a great success and a real hoot for all of us. The boys could relate to the constant shenanigans and the rough and tumble troublemaking that seemed to fill every scene.

The dialogue, though satirically often way over their heads, was found hilarious by all of them. You really need to listen carefully to catch everything they twisted into their exchanges. Harpo's lines were especially thought provoking!

This exchange makes me laugh every time:
Mrs. Suzannah Dukesbury (Margaret Dumont): [referring to the seating arrangements at an upcoming dinner] the judge shall sit on my left hand, and you (turning to Groucho) shall sit on my right.
J. Cheever Loophole (Groucho): How will you eat? Through a tube?

"Lydia oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia,
Lydia, the Tattooed Lady..."

Great stuff.

By the way, "Lydia" was also sung by a young Virginia Weidler in "The Philadelphia Story".

Hey, I thought this was the Quote of the Day" thread?

"A glass of beer or wine at day's end is one of the small comforts that make a big difference in daily life. If we allow our freedoms to be stripped away, we will soon become participants in a nightmare of modern urban existence; hollow-eyed robots herded like cattle into overcrowded underventilated trains for a joyless trip home."

- Shea, "Abstinent Urban Commuting"

(from a 'double crostic' puzzle, such as I love)
