What do you KNOW about the great W. C. Fields? Do you love him? Do you hate him? Does he tickle your funny bone?

My Dear Friends,

 

Speaking of WC, what do you think about our friend, Larry David?

 

And, do you like boaners, meaning stupid mistakes, when they happen to others?

 

When I was young, I made it my purpose in life to watch every single film put out by WC.  And, we loved everything about him, where I came from.

WC was a handsome fellow, and not just by Pattaya standards.

 

You know what?

I really wish I could return to those halcyon and fickle and  tumultuous days of my youth.  And, there is one other adjective I am searching for, to describe my youth, but I cannot recall it now, due to old age.  I know it starts with an F, but this adjective starting with an F is not the one you might be thinking of.

 

When I recall it, I will post it below.

 

Anyway, when I was young, I dearly loved WC.

Maybe, I will watch one of his films, again.

But, I doubt I will.

 

Wait!  I am almost getting it!  The adjective I am thinking about sounds almost like the adjective "fallow", but not quite.

Still, it escapes me, this adjective.

 

Well then, what was your most loved WC film?

 

Any good clips you might wish to share?

 

If not, nobody here is forcing you to do so.

 

Recently, I have been thinking about WC Fields, off and on.

I don't know why.

But, I have been.

 

Maybe you, too?

 

Regards,

WC Globulin

It was not my fallow youth I wished to recall.

I meant my callow youth.

Slip of the tongue which is always telling.

Reminds one of our fallow youth, these old WC clips.

The only WC field I've ever seen...

Too many thrones in this world, still, it seems, for our own good. 

 

No doubt, WC might have said it better. 

 

BUT, actually, many, many of us, around the world, are just dying for the lack of a throne, when most needed. 

 

Too many just go out in the woods, or in the river. 

 

Which reminds me of a song, as is always the case. 

 

 

Yes I love him but I find myself comparing him to the Marx Brothers who were better.

That's because the Marx Bros grew up in NYC, on the East Side, if I'm not mistaken. 

 

Also, in any case, the Marx Brothers were well educated. 

 

Groucho studied dentistry, even. He was also a veterinarian.

Never heard of the guy but i am 45 not 75! ????

And, I, too, was not born in the year, 1880. 

 

By the way, have you ever heard of Joshua Slocum?
