(9-6-12) HE'LL HARM YOOOU...August 12, 1907 was the B-Day
of JOE 'Stinky' BESSER. I had a fab pix of Besser with a pie in his kisser just
waiting for this date but then my PC crashed and I lost all my photos. Whilst
trying in vain to find that shot again I ran across this Johnny Cash German
language B-Side called "BESSER So, Jenny-JOE". What a trip, huh?
BTW..I
think Joe gets a bum rap when it comes to The Three Stooges. Sure, he's no CURLY
or SHEMP but he no Curly-Joe either ( fools sometimes confuse the two ). Joe's
persona ( a confused and easily irritated infant ) was pretty ridiculous and
some Stooge aficionados claim that Besser brought some needed energy to the
later Stooge shorts. Joe had it in his contract that MOE could not hit him so by
necessity the films became more character driven and plot heavy. Sometimes that
could be a good thing because it gave LARRY more to do...oh, I've been smart all
the time, only you didn't know it.
NOT SO LOUD!
