Mr. Keaton will help you hang your pictures for some reason.

  • Or just get Skippy to do it. He's gotta be unemployed, right?
  • Man, that's a lot of agony to go through to hang pictures. I just put them out on the floor and arrange them without all that measuring and tape stuff. Of course, I live in a bar, so what do I know?
  • Hey, maybe Brian Bonsall can show me how to get that coffee stain out of my white shirt.
  • (possibly) interesting fact: Brian Bonsall went on to play Alexander, Worf's son on ST:TNG
  • I need some pictures of Mallory.
  • What, no graboids?
  • I thought it was going to be Rollo Tredway suspended from a picture of a giant clock. Somehow I feel strangely bereft of amusement.
  • (Psst ... that was Harold Lloyd, not Buster Keaton.)
  • Harold "Porno" Lloyd, to be precise.
  • Only had three fingers on his right hand, IIRC, when he did that stunt. you can see its a rubber hand prosthetic glove. He has no thumb or forefinger. It got bitten off my a mule, or asploded by a French prostitute with gunpowder up her jacksie, or some-such.
  • I didn't know about the porn. Thanks for ruining my childhood, Hank.
  • You had a childhood?
  • I used to watch Harold Lloyd films on PBS weekends when I was a tyke, and I really liked him. Now that I know about his trailblazing pr0n work, I love him even more. Side note: I wonder how many comics lost their lives in the 20s trying to do the kind of shit we laud Lloyd and Keaton for. Seriously, that was nuts.
  • I laud Lloyd, Lauder, Langdon..
  • Thread totally, irrevocably jacked. My work here is done!
  • Qapla'!!
  • Oh, like this thread was going anywhere.
  • Well, it informed me about Harold Lloyd, at least. Big fan of Charlie Chaplin here, I've seen a few Buster Keaton films, but hadn't *gasp* heard of Lloyd Although I can name six Marx brothers.
  • Don't forget Karl!
  • The first time I ever heard of Harold Lloyd was in Crow's version of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" in MST3K: The Movie. Now I get that song stuck in my head whenever I hear or see the name.
