Soon I have to go to my company's general meeting, where we hear in shocking, gratuitous financial detail our progress in terms of perpetuating the Great Lie it is all our jobs to defend. I find my position difficult. They are good to me - to us - and will shortly institute a regimen to give us more money. And yet our mandate is morally corrupt. Not morally corrupt like making chemical weapons for use against civilians or anything, but enough to make it hard for me to feel any pride in my job at all.
Something that helps me is Harpo Marx:
And oh yes, Chico - in an undeniably sexy way, too. I've heard he was a massive womanizer. But who wouldn't want to be womanized by a guy who can tickle the upper keys like that? Hehhhhh.
Anyways. Last night we watched At the Circus and I meant to find you Harpo's routine from that which was just shockingly good, but either YouTube doesn't have it or I don't have the patience to find it - not sure which. Figaro has caught on that I've got no problem waiving the mid-week reefer ban if he gets Marx Brothers movies or episodes of Monty Python I've never seen, so I'm laughing a lot these days. Good hard belly laughs. Good for the abs.
Faaaaaack. Time to meat.

Weird, blogger won't let me comment on the above clip, which is the one I really want to comment on!
I was all busy revising - I moved it down now.
Apparently, these were right up Charlie's alley. She was transfixed like a little old lady watching something she was far too dignified to comment on.
Charlie is such a clever girl.
Oh yes, I see now! I was going to say, do we know if Chico was actually playing? It mostly looked like he was, but sometimes his fingers just didn't seem to be doing enough based on the music playing. You know? Just a piano player's observation..maybe I'm looking for trouble where there isn't any..
You would know better than me, my dear. Piano playing was part of his vaudeville act and I'm inclined to ascribe any visual irregularties to the 1930's film technology, but I really couldn't say.
Your explanation makes sounds sense, actually. Because I had to watch really closely and it LOOKED like it was him but then some things just weren't matching up. And he definitely has the hands of a piano player, yum.
Yum indeed.
