This brought back some memories

Many of the great physical comics of the 20th century on this video.
No Laurel and Hardy though. Can't cover them all anyway.

Maybe someone was trying to tell me something about this political season when they sent this, but I just liked remembering the old time comics.

Bill, Love seeing the clowns. Orson Wells' comments were well spoken and true. Seeing, in opinion, the greatest clown, Red Skelton, I remembered a clip that Skelton had done. It is appropriate on this an election day. Please consider posting it. I'm sure others will appreciate it. 'Red & the Pledge'

Thank you Mr. Carney for years of dedicated service. I think you're a good man. We were fortunate to have you.

Welcome Mike Watson! I think your election presents us with an opportunity to move in a new, less divisive direction!

10:27, I agree on both items.
Thank you Bob. You are a good guy. I do appreciate your service.
Mike fill his shoes well and lets get the town past the wounds.
Lara, study well, serve all, and good luck!
Greg Jones. You are replacing an icon. A man who served well and selflessly. Do the same.
Congratulations to each of you.

Somewhere in the corner of his home BSA finds himself softly weeping. Crying out softly "I need my ChuckleBuddy" BOO HOO.. "who's going to whisper stupid nothing's in my ear?" BooHOO.. "who's going to second my opinion's" Boo Hoo.. The camera pulls away gently as the song "I'm Lonely, oh so Lonely" plays softly in the background.
Yes BSA you are alone now, your Chucklebuddy is no more. Maybe you can tuck BW under the podium to keep you company from now on. You don't have to worry though in 2 years time you will no longer require any company up there, you can sit on your couch at home and watch the SB meeting with a good draft blowing on your neck from your 40 year old single pane windows.

Who has been ugly?

I'm responding to 5:32. Not that he or she is the only poster that has trashed, as we all know only too well on this and Curt's blogs!

Some people must thrive on an ugly attitude.

Getting tired of how happy it must make some people be to be nasty.

How to win/lose said...

As it may not appear, it's not all about winning, some times you lose. As a former selectman, I know how it feels to win, and how to lose. The greater cause is he/she who makes the attempt to win. Selectman win and selectman lose, but always remember that in order to lose, you must win. A person who runs for selectman, but never wins is not a loser, only a person who made the attempt to win. You must be a winner, before becoming a loser.
So, everyone who makes the attempt at running can not be called a loser. I'm one of those people who ran and won, but also lost. Living is the challenge to be a winner, losing is the person who never makes a challenge at living.

I like a winner, but I have more respect for the loser. They made the choice of living. Good luck to those who are winners and losers. To everyone who did not run, you are not living, just existing.

There's a lot of nasty people out there who have thought nothing of trashing others whether they were candidates or not.

They still continue to do so, even though the election is over, and will probably continue along spewing their ugliness.

That's indicative of someone with low self-esteem who has to inflate his or her self-worth and self-esteem by cutting down others.

It's probably also the tactic taken by someone who fears losing his or her perceived influence or power within the town.

How comical that some of our so-called pillars of the community have no difficulty doing just that, as well. Lots of class, there.
