I Mustache You a Question..

For those of you who don't use Google on a regular basis, I'd like to say:
1. Get out from that rock you apparently live under, and
2. You probably don't know what Saturday marked!

No, that's every Saturday in college..

 This past Saturday, April 16th, marked the 122nd birthday of the great silent film actor Charlie Chaplin! Just so you know, he's dead now. If not, I think that would be an even greater acheivment.

"Whatever," you might say, "Who cares about silent films?" Answer: EVERYONE SHOULD.

Charlie Chaplin changed the course of comedic history, really introducing "slapstick comedy" to the public. He also was a driving force between carrying the US through the Great Depression. Sure, the New Deal helped (actualy no it didn't, but that's another, more boring, blog post) but Charlie, in his 5cent shows really boosted the spirits of many hard-pressed Americans.

Precious

Without him, we wouldn't get the 3 Stooges or even the phsycial comedy of the "Jack-ass" boys (although I could live without that last one).

Also: Chaplin was kind of a player. He was married 4 times and had, get this, 11 kids with three different woman. Damn, I hope he was attractive without all that makeup/mustache...

Oh my..

 So, in honor of his 122nd, Here's a classic Chaplin clip, Enjoy!
