If you know who The Three Stooges are, and you already know you don’t like The Three Stooges, then you don’t care about this. If you don’t know who the Three Stooges are, you probably don’t like them either. Their stuff got a lot of replay on television for years, but originally they were three guys in these low-budget black & white “short subjects” shown in the olden days at movie theaters when there would be a “newsreel” with news on it (this was before the Miracle of Television), and a cartoon, and a little film of a popular musician or band doing a song, and a “short subject,” and a “B-Picture,” and then the Feature Presentation. The Three Stooges were straight out of The Great Depression, and they did a lot of corny jokes, and wacky singing and dancing, and they existed inside just enough of a plotline to support 20 minutes of delivering ice, or being inept plumbers, or fashion designers, or pretty much anyone except cops, but what they really had fun doing was messing around with rich people, society folk and “stuffed shirts.” Explaining the Three Stooges just creates all this other stuff that has to be explained. Basically, The Three Stooges are goofballs who perform antics and hijinx in order to get you to laugh. They are ridiculously violent. They bop each other with hammers and poke each other (and themselves) in the eye, and they fall off ladders, and they are greedy and shifty but usually they’re just looking for a meal, or to maybe “strike it rich” with a “harebrained scheme” because Times Are Tough. Nobody learns a Valuable Lesson, there’s very little Justice, and a lot of times the film ends with the Stooges running away or getting blown up, or getting hit in the face with a bunch of pies by a dowager, circa 1930. The End. READ MORE

I had too much to drink the night before, but I managed to be early for my appointment at a Washington, DC hotel to talk with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, stars of the Major Motion Picture 21 Jump Street, a rebootery of the successful Fox TV show that launched the careers of Johnny Depp and Richard Grieco. In real life, Mr. Tatum's neck does not appear as disproportionately large as it does on the movie screen, and Mr. Hill appears thinner than when he was on the Oscars broadcast, in which he was a Nominee for Best Supporting Actor. Both gentlemen are very congenial. READ MORE

Joe MacLeod, aka Mr. Wrong, can converse with you via many medias.

Are you having a good Summer? I hope you are, and not just because I am enjoying having an awesome Summer, seriously, and the best part is it ain’t over yet! Arrooo! Yeah, man, it is, like, only August 11 right now, and I am in my castle wearing a bathing suit and as soon as I finish writering-up this Column I’m going upstairs to my Refrigerator to tap out another serving of my New Best Friend, Franzia Chillable Red, yow! It’s like Wine, except it is sweet enough to drink a lot of, you know? Plus it comes in a Carbon Box! Ecology! Bottles are not cool if you are fixing to be poolside, which is why I’m wearing my bathing suit, man, because it is Summer! Yeah! Really man, no glass around the pool, this is not the first time I have mentioned this, OK? READ MORE

I think the Mainstream Media, whatever that is, has been doing a very good job reporting on the New York 9th District Congressman Anthony Weiner and his naughties. I’m kinda sick of hearing about it, but that’s my fault, because I consume lots of super-obvious Lowest Common Denominator News and Infotainments, where I have heard a kabillion-jillion things about Anthony Weiner from my teevee in the morning when I put the stupid TODAY show on and then in the bathroom, where I perform my morning ablutions in the manner of Pontius Pilate (one of History’s notable Public Servants), and I hear more about Anthony Weiner on the news programs on my radio. One of the programs I listen to while I am cleaning my teeth is a middle-of-the-road Traffic-and-Weather-Together kinda show and the other one is an hilarious Right-Wing syndicated thing that runs on a local Sports Radio channel, and they throw down on that show, man, when they talk about stuff like Mr. Weiner’s been doing, they call it “Perverted,” which I find it to be Highly Entertaining, when people get Judgmental about stuff, so I am hooked on that radio program, for reals, and I believe I am similar to zillions of people then, out here in the streets of Lowest Common Denominator, where I get my Info Feed, and where the info almost immediately gets processed by the American Jokes Industry and Entertainment Tonight and stuff.

So now they (and you know who They are) went and changed the food triangle-pyramid to a circle, with this Choose My Plate to remind you that you are fat. Yeah, it’s totally subliminal except I figured it out almost immediately with my subconscious mind because I remember all that stuff about Egypt and The Pyramids, and how they are a source of Great Power and cool-ass READ MORE
