hehehe. My brother & I are huge fans of the Marx Brother's. My most memorable laugh'n'hack-attack was with the mirror scene in Duck Soup - hmm Duck Soup in general but i've enjoyed so many of their films. Have fond memories of singing "Who Dat Man" & "Lydia The Tatooed Lady" with my brother and I've taught my son how to sing the deadpan nanny version of rock-a-bye-baby which features in the "Sing While You Sell" song.

They sure had a devine way with words ;)

Yep - that's the one! My husband is in the whistle business, he was looking for that song. Thanks for your reply - it helped me to finally source it on You Tube! ;D

How did the Marx Brothers enter into your life? Do you like the other comedians from that era as well?

Belated Summer Movie Review

Over the summer I saw a bunch of movies with the kids and here are my reviews of them: Prince Caspian A movie with no plot, no substance, just lots of fighting. To give you idea of how violent the movie is, whenever I asked the kids what they were watching on TV they would reply, "Don't worry, it's not as violent as Prince Caspian." I think the movie can be summed up as follows: Susan: (Examining the ruins of Narnia) "What happened here?" Peter: "I don't know, but lets go thump something" Lucy: "Shouldn't we wait for Aslan?" Peter: "Aslan's not coming. Let's go thump something." (One epic battle gone wrong, a macho hand-to-hand battle gone well for the hero , and in the midst of another epic battle going wrong, Lucy comes across Aslan.) Aslan: "Why didn't you wait for me?"
