kingtermite Posted July 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2014 Probably Shemp. Very interesting story....I read a biography on them years ago. Curly really was nearly as dumb as he portrayed. Emil Sitka was the older guy that nearly always played the older guy role in many of their skits. Moe married his daughter. Larry really did play the violin. Moe/Shemp discovered him when he played with his mother/sister in a music act at the same place they were playing their vaudville (possibly when they were still with the jerk Ted Healey).

kingtermite Posted July 16, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 16, 2014 Was it any good? If yes, what was it? Apparently I don't have it anymore. I was going to offer to send it to you if you were interested. This was the book (I had to search on Amazon) - The Three Stooges Scrapbook. http://www.amazon.com/Three-Stooges-Scrapbook-Jeff-Lenburg/dp/0806508035/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1405532039 It looks like their may be an updated version. http://www.amazon.com/Three-Stooges-Scrapbook-Jeff-Lenburg/dp/0806509465/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405532156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted July 16, 2014 Share #11 Posted July 16, 2014 Curly. I don't care if he was dumb or not, KT. I wasn't saying that necessarily as a 'bad' thing, just a 'thing'. He's most people's favorite. You know how he used to occasionally drop on the floor and use his feet to kick around in circles? That was something he did for a laugh when he forgot his lines. I don't think it was ever scripted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questrider Posted July 16, 2014 Share #12 Posted July 16, 2014 Shemp was my favorite. Curly Joe was the absolute worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted July 16, 2014 Share #13 Posted July 16, 2014 I have to confess - I don't find the Three Stooges all that funny. I can watch for maybe five minutes but it doesn't hold my attention. Marx Brothers, now that's some good comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted July 16, 2014 Share #17 Posted July 16, 2014 Shemp was my favorite. Curly Joe was the absolute worst. Curly Joe and Cousin Joe (Joe Besser and Joe DeRita) were equally horrible, IMO. I like Curly's hair. I have a similar hair cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that before. I can't find any info on that now and according to wikipedia neither of Emil Sitka's daughters have the same first name as Moe's wife. It's been a long time since I read that...maybe I screwed up a few details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted July 16, 2014 Share #23 Posted July 16, 2014 So who from the SW forum would make the best stooges? Kzoo could be Moe because he can be pretty mean to people. SW could be Larry because he is the unfunny one. Jsharr or KT would make pretty good Curlys, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former member Posted July 16, 2014 Share #27 Posted July 16, 2014 Now you're Nate-baitingabsolutely not. All the stooges were Jews except Curly Joe, and neither CJ or Nate are funny(IMO). There's nothing wrong with people that aren't funny. SW isn't funny, but that doesn't make him a bad person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted July 16, 2014 Share #31 Posted July 16, 2014 Kzoo isn't mean, he's just a cranky old man that doesn't like kids playing on his lawn. Just goes to show you..... I am not old (at least not by RR's standards). I love kids. And kids love to play in my yard (tree swing - tree house - stream - bridge - waterfall - expansive yard - much to explore) and I enjoy having them there. And I am only cranky when..........
