STOOGE MOMENTS: Curlys Fire Crackers Mark Blair 2022-07-01 | "Fireworks should only be lit under adult supervision!""Where will we find one?"[SMACK!]
STOOGE MOMENTS: Shemps Ministry of Truth Mark Blair 2022-05-31 | Every administration that is of the people, for the people, by the people and against the people needs the very BEST in those who handle the truth. Shemp's relentless pursuit of the truth is like a cold slap to the face.
STOOGE MOMENTS: The Ultimate Fake Shemp Mark Blair 2022-04-03 | "Fake Shemp" is a well defined term. However, if you were to pick a visual to define "Fake Shemp" what would it be? Joe Palma in profile with a beard? Joe Palma from behind doing Shemp's "Heep-bee-bee-bee-bee"?Mine is this horrible dummy. The stage hands didn't even try to make a somewhat close match to Shemp. Which, makes it so funny!Enjoy!!!

FMS 1100mm Zero with REFLEX 2 Pre-Maiden and Maiden Flight! Mark Blair 2022-01-17 | This is my #4 RC plane since taking up the sport in July 2021. It is my first FMS product - (2 Hobbyzone's - Sports Cub and Aero Scout S 1.1mm; 1 E-Flite 1.1m T28 Trojan). Admittedly, the documentation from FMS is pretty thin when compared to Hobbyzone and E-Flite. However, by doing A LOT of research on YouTube (e.g. Reflex setup, Setting CG, Mixing, D/R and Expo...) I was able to pre-maiden this out of the PNP box without a lot of difficulty. I installed a SPEKTRUM AR620 to work in concert with the Reflex V2.So, today I went for my first flight using a 3S 2200 30C SPEKTRUM SMART tech battery. The grass field at the park wouldn't allow me to take off from the ground, so I did a wheels up hand launch. The plane gracefully left my hand and smoothly rose (using the Reflex "Stabilized" mode) with no issues. I did a full 5 min flight in Stabilized mode and this plane was so beautiful in the fly-bys! Gorgeous silhouette against a bright blue sky. I brought it in for a wheels up landing and it gently set down. I was ecstatic.For me, the plane is a true joy. Great fun to pre-maiden and a real joy to take up and zoom around in. There wasn't a lot of current set up info on YouTube so I put this together. It is my very simplistic steps to set the Zero up using bits and pieces that I've gleaned from the many professional RC posters here in the YouTube community. It's a short video, with 19 visuals as described below:0:0 to 0:10 - Opening0:10 to 0:20 - Quick Background0:20 to 0:30 - Materials Used0:30 to 0:40 - CG Balancing Jig0:40 to 0:50 - Fitting Reflex & AR620 Spektrum Receivers in the plane0:50 to 1:00 - AR620 AND REFLEX V2 MOUNTING 1:00 to 1:10 - Wiring the REFLEX V2 to the Servos and the AR6201:10 to 1:20 - Gear and Flaps1:20 to 1:30 - Flaps and Gear wiring1:30 to 1:40- REFLEX V2 Gyro Switch Setup1:40 to 1:50 - Setting the CG1:50 to 2:00 - Velcro Dots on CG Wing Markings2:00 to 2:10 - CG Balancing2:10 to 2:20 - Bullet Weight Positions2:20 to 2:30 - Final Balance2:30 to 2:40 - Additional TX Settings2:40 to 2:50 - Packing it in (The Rat’s Nest)2:50 to 3:00 - Dealing with the Battery3:00 to 3:10 - Final ThoughtsI do hope those who view this find it helpful.

Oh well.Anyway, since there weren't any videos describing how to replace the Aeroscout 2 fuselage, I decided to document the steps as I did mine. I hope it is somewhat helpful. NOTE: Used my son's hobby table, that has some "odd" drawings on it. There is one shot that needs an explanation: It's the way they drew the animal's feet. IT AIN'T WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!Anyway, enjoy

Charleston Mark Blair 2020-07-04 | Just a nice fusion between Tuba Skinny's version of "Postage Stomp" and various flappers doing the Charleston. I was surprised at how well the two mashed together.
Women of the Three Stooges #9: Ladies in Transistion Pt2 Mark Blair 2020-06-06 | Well Mutton Heads, Here is installment #9 in the Women of the Three Stooges Series.This is Ladies in Transition Pt. 2. Tonight covers two ladies whose time with the Stooges spanned the 3rd Stoogedivides. First is one who spanned the divide between Curly and Shemp (Kitty McHugh).Many of you will remember her as Curly's homely hook up from "Hoi Poli" . She then shows up much later in a couple of Shemp shortsand demonstrates her awesome skills at delivering triple slaps and a meanright cross. Here are her features:8/29/1935 HOI POLLOI Moe, Larry and Curly Duchess, Curly's ugly dance partner3/6/1952 LISTEN, JUDGE Moe, Larry and Shemp Mrs. Henderson9/4/1952 GENTS IN A JAM Moe, Larry and Shemp Mrs. McGruderLady number two spanned the divide between Shemp and Joe (Connie Cezan/Cezon).Many of you will remember her as "Slick Chick" in "Tricky Dicks". A couple of items ofinterest about Connie:1. In the Shemp shorts she is billed as Connie Cezan, in the Joe shorts she is Connie Cezon.2. She was a double for Betty Davis in a movie.3. In her last Stooge appearance - "Triple Crossed" - she never faces the camera. She stands infor the role Mary Ainslee played in "He Cooked His Goose". They even use Mary's voice. Here are her features: 5/1/1952 CORNY CASANOVAS Moe, Larry and Shemp Mabel2/5/1953 UP IN DAISY'S PENTHOUSE Moe, Larry and Shemp Daisy Flowers5/7/1953 TRICKY DICKS Moe, Larry and Shemp Slick Chick9/6/1956 HOT STUFF Moe, Larry and Shemp Uranian officer10/17/1957 RUSTY ROMEOS Moe, Larry and Joe Mabel2/2/1959 TRIPLE CROSSED Moe, Larry and Joe Belle, new footageOur next installment will wrap up this series as we explore the Besser Babes.

The Women of the Three Stooges #3: The Tough Dames Mark Blair 2020-04-26 | Listen Appleheads!Enough with the glamor. Let's put some meat and potatoes on the plate.Just as Christine and Symone left indelible marks on our Three Stoogesmemories, there were some standouts on the "Less put together" sidewho provided us with remarkable Stooge moment memories. Let me introduce: 1) June Gittleson - Probably best remembered for her line: "Come on girls, lets go places and eat things!"Her appearances with the Stooges are as follows:WOMAN HATERSHORSES' COLLARSFALSE ALARMSSLIPPERY SILKSDIZZY DOCTORSTHE SITTER DOWNERS2) Blaanche Payson- Probably remembered best as Curly's dancing partner in "Hoi Polli". Laurel and Hardy fans will remember her in "Helpmates" as Ollie's shrew of a wife. Interesting side note was that she was originally in law enforcement and was hired in the silent era by Mack Sennett studios to keep the Keystone Cops from harassing the female stars. Her appearances with the Stooges are as follows:POP GOES THE EASEL (Not included here as she just appears for fleeting seconds with her back turned as an art student)HOI POLLOIA PAIN IN THE PULLMANSLIPPERY SILKSDIZZY DOCTORSFROM NURSE TO WORSECOOKOO CAVALIERSAN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE3) Maxine Gates - First appeared with the Stooges as carrying "Bill" over the threshold in "Goof on the Roof".My best memories of her is as Moe's brute of a wife in "Husbands Beware". Her appearances with the Stooges are as follows:GOOF ON THE ROOFHUSBANDS BEWAREMUSCLE UP A LITTLE CLOSER
Women of the Three Stooges: Christine McIntyre Mark Blair 2020-04-14 | Well featherbrains, Here is installment #1 to "Women of the Three Stooges".The ever popular Christine McIntyre. (ALERT! HUGE SURPRISE AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO!!!).There is so much information about Christine already available that I won't bother to include it here. My only personal note is that I met her in 1975 at a Moe Howard tribute (Along with Helen and Emil Sitka).Christine's first appearance is as "Customer 5" in "They Stooge to Conga". I included it here but if you blink you'll miss her. I did my best to keep the order in the clip chronologically correct to her appearances. In many cases she showed up in later Stooge shorts but in stock material with nothing new. I tried to capture new footage when it appeared. Here is the chronology:1/1/1943 THEY STOOGE TO CONGA7/16/1944 IDLE ROOMERS11/24/1944 NO DOUGH BOYS1/19/1945 THREE PESTS IN A MESS11/15/1945 MICRO-PHONIES4/25/1946 THE THREE TROUBLEDOERS12/5/1946 THREE LITTLE PIRATES4/24/1947 OUT WEST9/11/1947 BRIDELESS GROOM12/18/1947 ALL GUMMED UP1/8/1948 SHIVERING SHERLOCKS3/4/1948 SQUAREHEADS OF THE ROUND TABLE7/8/1948 THE HOT SCOTS12/9/1948 CRIME ON THEIR HANDS3/3/1949 WHO DONE IT?7/7/1949 FUELIN' AROUND10/6/1949 VAGABOND LOAFERS1/5/1950 PUNCHY COWPUNCHERS2/2/1950 HUGS AND MUGS3/2/1950 DOPEY DICKS5/4/1950 LOVE AT FIRST BITE9/7/1950 THREE HAMS ON RYE10/5/1950 STUDIO STOOPS10/8/1953 BUBBLE TROUBLE6/3/1954 PALS AND GALS9/2/1954 KNUTZY KNIGHTS11/4/1954 SCOTCHED IN SCOTLAND2/3/1955 OF CASH AND HASH

The Three Stooges: Best of 1959 Mark Blair 2019-11-17 | Well everyone, it's been fun. I could only find one short scene from the two Three Stooges shorts released in 1959. I chose it not because it was funny, but because it fit the sad ending that the Stooges had when Columbia basically fired them. So, rather than dwell on that. I just want to say thank you all for joining along in this journey of piecing together 24 years of funny scenes from the 190 shorts the Stooges made. Sorry it couldn't have ended with some laughs. But at least it does end with many funny moments to recall. Best to all.
The Three Stooges- Best of 1958 Mark Blair 2019-11-10 | [Moe] "Quiet! Now where is this John Smith?"[Joe] "In his office! Next door to a BBQ pit!"[Larry] "Hey, does BBQ's have pits?"SMACK!!!The Three Stooges: Best of 1958.Year 23 of making Columbia Three Stooges Shorts.This is the last full year of Stooge shorts made at Columbia Studios. Onlya few more are lined up for 1959.Many commentaries have been written about The Joe Besser years and I won'trehash what's already been said. The JB years are the JB years. Now with that said, while Joe made it known to the Stooge franchise that he did not want to beon the receiving end of Stooge slap-stick, I've found a few sequences here inthe 1958 shorts where he get's his share. Many of the shorts here are lacking any real comedy,so you'll see some shortswith only one cut from it ( kinda' like Curly's final shorts). I did however finda few things uniquely "Joe" that made me laugh.... "Mother.. oh it's YOU!!"Well, without further ado, The Best of the Three Stooges: 1958- Quiz Whizz - Fifi Blows Her Top - Pies and Guys - Sweet and Hot - Flying Saucer Daffy- Oil's Well That Ends Well youtu.be/zUEb64ucblA

3 Stooges Best of 1936 Mark Blair 2019-06-08 | Seems - to me - that 1936 was a pretty thin year for high quality Stooge episodes. These (IMHO) are the highlights for me. I hope you enjoy them.
