Oi. Hardy is a hero of mine, but equally, so is Stan. Geniuses both.
Hahahahahahaaa!!!
Touche (or should that be touchy? LOL)
Classic pairing Stan and Ollie, my old Mum (long deed RIP) made them Kilts when they visited Edinburgh.
"Onnnnn thaa, Blue-Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on the trail of the Lonsome Pine..."
I used to be in the Blockheads Tent of the Sons of the Desert many, many moons ago, but them fans were too "hardcore" to be honest. Dyed in the wool and all that.
Another fine mess I'd gotten myself into...
Excellent, Stan and Ollie are brilliant. You'd have to Be Big to admit that. Did you wear fezzes, fezzes aren't cool.
** Einstein - if he'd copyrighted or patented E=mc squared he'd have made a bomb...
*** Silvia Saint - hahahahaaa
We did, we did...
A great laugh, but some of the lads are really fanatical about Stan and Ollie.
I console myself though by watching Bonnie Scotland frequently.
He did. I've seen them, he had a wooden plate with 'inplants' of other peoples teeth!
He was right handed, cant have been that good with a sword..............you don't mean the Lady Hamilton connection?
Is that John Wayne written in dyslexic Welsh?
Ahh, edited to add "get orrf yer horse and drink yer milk, Muldoon".
Big Marion. Quite a runner they say.

Hehe, I know the ones you mean, but they weren't actually his, they were his late fathers, when he died he only had one tooth missing and two cracked from the shrapnel that blinded him and ripped half his scalp off. He was very good with a sword, even after he'd had his arm shot off he practiced with his left. Emma, I'm sure was skillful with his sword too, that's why he couldn't be parted from her.

It was a classic joke in a comic that some people thought was serious in the 1970's due to the hairstyle Clint sported that was like Stans, it has just snowballed since then.

That's really kind of you Red, especially as it is you that has inspired many of my posts. I believe that may be a paradox.
Bear Grylls (NOT!)
I have since my late teens been inspired by William Morris (the one who was not Lord Nuffield) he was the closest thing the nineteenth century had to a renaissance man, and what is not realised that he was an early ecologist.
He travelled in Iceland, translated Icelandic Saga's and was a pioneer of the arts and crafts. Those were the days when craft was craft and nothing "bush" about it all. The use of natural materials and dyes, rediscovery of lost arts, that was all part of his ethos.
Then maybe there is Che Guevara, every sixties and seventies student's poster child (whoops my age is showing) John Lennon, Woodie Guthrie, the "usual suspects"
My ultimate hero perhaps is Moondog, the "Viking of 54th street" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moondog
The eccentrics eccentric, and through the wonders of the internet I actually stumbled across his daughter.
Moondog was a man who endured hardship and went his own way, a distant relative of John Wesley Hardin.
I also admire John Fox the Quaker, in fact anybody who has "swum against the tide" of mundanity.
