That’s the first time I remember seeing this skit. They also did it on the Colgate comedy hour once.
I saw it on Petticoat Junction once with a different set of numbers. Abbott and Costello did it regularly and in a couple of their movies.
The best wheeler dealers!!
Too much cipherin’!
Titian,”Venus and Adonis”
Adonis wanted to go hunting,girlfriend didn’t want him to.Well,he should have listened:he wound up being gored b a wild boar.
(Painting is at the Getty Museum,I think…seen it?)

It’s the Republicans at the state level who are making a difference.

Now here’s a “bucket list” item: Visit all the equestrian statues in the world. I’ll try to fit that in with my planned film festival pilgrimages. Someday.
The worst eyesore in Rome

Monument to Victor Emmanuel,first king of Italy.For this they tore down much of the Capitoline Hill.Its only virtue is the view from the top,but the view from atop the Spanish Steps is better.I thought so.
So artificial, in the old, classic sense.
Romans call it “The Typewriter”
Wouldn’t that be “a-typa-writa”?
Very amusing and sadly true article from Buzzfeed(!): how it feels to be a conservative on the Internet. http://www.buzzfeed.com/theeggman/what-it-feels-like-being-a-conservative-on-the-internet
Best part: reading all the butthurt commenters who simply can’t handle a leftwing site actually being sympathetic with conservatives for once.
Hysterical. Good find. I’m sending it on to my fellow right-wing, prepper, survivalist, gun-nut friends.
(I even threw in a little snarky comment myself. WTH).

Like Al Gore, JP is a bitter loser..
Coffee, krullers, and civil suits!

Artists. Can’t live with ‘em; can’t live without ‘em.

Never really got Olympic “Wrestling”(now “Rasslin”,that’s a different matter),but if they are going to have bullshit like syncrynized swimming…come on!
