Happy Birthday Shemp Howard

More people are called Curly, though.

There was a guy in our High School whose nickname was Shemp. Only some of us understood the reference from this old TV show.

The guy had the same hair and look, at a time when most of us had short hair.

He'd be 126 today, born in New York City on 3/11/1895.

Very few parents name their kids Shemp today.



The forgotten stooge. I always had time for him.

He was no Curly though...

I thought Shemp was the best Stooge
Also did more work outside of the Stooges

The Stooges were Lithuanian Jews. Harry Cohn, also a Jew, ran Columbia Pictures. He made sure he got most of the money the Stooges earned.
 
I liked Shemp, but Curly was the best Stooge of all three, hands down. Shemp was a pretty good actor; I saw him in parts in the movies.
