youre suggesting im selling you short? from the algonquin round table to the knights who say ni, your comedic influences are vast and estimable. but whence the stooges three? dost thou crave a poke in the eye?

i wasnt really tying you to the steve martin bandwagon who was someone i thought was funny. just seeing the sudden cultural wave and all the chuckleheads in the audience reminded me of my friend doing the catchphrases to death and then it struck me that you have expressed similar tastes, some of which i like (sctv) and some of which i dont (wrestling). 

ive said before we did not get the new yorker which was unfortunate as i was left reading psychology today in the bathroom.

and have to admit i dont know myron cohen. my fathers fame and fortune fantasy was comedian. he definitely saw a fair amount during his bellhoppin in the catskills era but the only obsession he had by the mid 70s was sports. he expressed admiration for mel brooks but i only vaguely recall seeing high anxiety then later to be or not to be. i can imagine he saw the producers but nary a peep about young frankenstein or blazing settles was ever uttered. more of a your show of shows guy to be sure. we should have had all the classic 60s albums, woody, lehrer, newhart, nichols and may but alas i lived a deprived childhood.

personally never warmed to the marx brothers tho sure they were irreverent for their time. wont opine on the rest as i grow weary. just gonna grab a psychology today and be off.
