The crew over at the Shrine of the Holy Whapping just gets better and better. I always look forward to their daily church/saint whap up, but today they review my favorite comedian trio – The Marx Brothers and my favorite movie of theirs – A Night at the Opera.
I am a connoisseurs of all things Marx Brothers. In high school I read everything I could find about Groucho, Chico, and Harpo (and the strait men Marx’s Gummo and Zeppo) and even wrote a school paper on them. I dressed as Groucho at a party once and would pull the Harpo leg grab maneuver on unsuspecting friends. Along with Matthew give me some of these black-and-white comedy stars any day. Besides the Marx Brothers I also greatly enjoy W.C. Fields who I played once in a show.
Groucho Marx’s was also extremely funny in his later years on the game show You Bet Your Life. I loved to watch as his zingers went way over the heads of the unsuspecting contestants. One of my favorite lines from the Marx Brother’s is:

Here is a parody I wrote a year ago called A Night at the Jesus Seminar.
Lane Core Jr. Links to a site that has interesting information on President Lincoln.

Dale Price does a mighty fisking on a article from the publisher of the National Catholic Distorter, Tom Fox. Again I am in awe of Dale’s writing abilities and the hilarious phrases he comes up with.
Alicia the midwife of the blog Fructus Ventris has moved to the St. Blogs domain started by Catholic Light’s RC.

On a secondary note, I exported her old posts from blogger and then imported them into Movable Type for her. The side effect of this was that she can no longer update her blogspot blog to inform people of her move. So if other bloggers could help spread the word it would be appreciated.
