Today I discovered the humor I laugh at most is called absurdism

@bijouxbroussard I found the Three Stooges a bit off-putting as a kid, too. It seemed mean.

Although a friend of mine unearthed an interesting piece of trivia online. The actor who played Moe was the only one of the bunch who had formal training as an actor. The guy had actually done Shakespeare!

@DrWatson Wow, I didn’t know that. I always though the only "highbrow" in the bunch was Larry Fine, the classically trained violinist.

@bijouxbroussard @DrWatson I loved the Three Stooges. My mom couldn't stand Laurel and Hardy. She felt Ollie was a bully, and I was bullied in some of the same ways, so she didn't like him.

@bijouxbroussard yeah, the slapstick was more of a side interest of mine

@DrWatson That is some interesting trivia. Didn't know that

@bijouxbroussard I'd actually forgotten about the violin connection. This does make them an odd combo, doesn't it?
