"Aloha, Baby's here..."

How can that not bring a smile?

Those Head Sculpts are incredible! Would like to see a more neutral, bordering on a little annoyed Head Sculpts! That would be cool to!

Hey Joel, I agree...it would be great to have an annoyed Ollie and a crying Stan, wouldn't it?

I'll chime in, and say I would get those sculpts in a minute. Annoyed Oliver would be great, even with a smiling Stan. Crying Stan is a no brainer.

Here's Groucho in (my version of) "Horsefeathers"...

Everyone says I love you
but just what they say it for I never knew
it's just inviting trouble for the poor sucker who
says I love you.

Take a pair of rabbits who
get stuck on each other and begin to woo
and pretty soon you'll find a million more rabbits who
say I love you

When the lion gets felling frisky
and begins to roar
there's another lion who knows just what he's roaring for

Everything that ever grew
the goose and the gander and the gosling too
the duck upon the water when he feels that way too
says (quack quack quack)...

"I bet you're wondering what I'm thinking right now...or you may be thinking about what I'm wondering...

Well, I'll tell you...

A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke..."

Hey Jim, I never knew Groucho knew Spanish! Listen to the end of that clip...

Oh, also...

I checked some photos of Groucho on the net and it looks like his grease paint mustache is on top of his upper lip so you may want to paint yours just a bit lower.

Obviously they dubbed Groucho's Spanish but for a while they used to shoot multiple versions of movies using the same sets like the spanish version of "Dracula".

Laurel and Hardy also did this and the boys would learn the spanish dialogue phonetically and shoot the whole movie over again with spanish actors they would even shoot additional scenes not seen in the english versions. Check out the spanish version of "Chickens Come Home".

At the 29 minute mark there is a scene not seen in the english version featuring a disgusting act by Hadji Ali the regurgitator.

Ok, so you may have outdone yourself with that last post...! That guy was nuts...it's a good thing he put out that fire; with all the water he drank, he would have been sitting on the pot all night!

Here is Hadji Ali's wikipedia page it is interesting reading...

"One newspaper reported that Ali's feats, essentially controlled vomiting, were performed in "a manner without the least bit of unpleasantness or anything bordering on repulsiveness."[27] Not everyone felt the same: at least one of Ali's engagements was cut short once the proprietor realized that the nature of the act "was killing their supper shows".

Ya think? Ya think it would kill supper shows, really? Especially if he had people feel his stomach to verify the nuts he swallowed?

Good post! Definitely belongs here on this thread!
