And Ollie

Oliver "Babe" Hardy died 53 years ago today. I'll let you in on a secret--I've always found him the funnier half of Laurel and Hardy.

Laurel played the dumb guy, but Hardy was even dumber, because he thought he was smarter. And he usually gets the worst of it. Nothing makes me laugh like the aftermath of an accident, with Hardy doing his slow burn. I also love his fastidiousness.
