Speaking of Slob Art, a decade or so ago, I purchased through the WFMU catalogue something called the Shemp Mediation Tape. One side had a loop of Shemp Howard of the Three Stooges going "A-HA,HA,HA HA" & the other side was a loop of him going "Hee bee bee bee bee." I don't know whether it's the hot weather, but wouldn't it be great to have someone make a Shep Mediation CD or whatever people listen to these days? I mean, for me one of the best parts of listening to or watching Shep is when he laughs or chuckles at what he's saying. One track can be him going "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA" & the other track can be him chuckling, "heh-heh-heh-heh". You can even do variations such as the Limelight "hee,hee,hee, hee" or sample various lines. Just a thought, six o' one & half dozen o' the other. |

I use to have a head cover to the driver in my golf bag of MOE that would trigger knuck kuck knuck when you took it off. Speaking of Stooges did Shep ever refer to them? |

I don't know if Shep ever mentioned the Stooges, but I would be surprised if there were participants in this forum who are not appreciative of the comedic genius of the Howard brothers & Mr. Fine [:)] |

Anytime you see a yard, or living room which looks like an explosion in a "Spencer Gifts" store...THIS is true "slob art"........
Peronally, I am looking for a good, grinning, concrete Mexican![:D]

The Witch City (aka Salem, MA), where I have festered these past 40 odd years, is a vast repository of Slob Art. You can't find any clothes, but you can find gargoyles. Down the street from my office is a statute of Elizabeth Montgomery, commerating the fact that the TV Show Bewitched actually filmed several episodes here back in 1970. There was actually a Bewitched convention here last week. If that's not Slob Art, I don't know what is [:D]! |

I live in a townhouse development where there are restrictions on what can be displayed outside units...thank goodness. Remeber a neighbor in my old neighborhood who had the worse taste in decorating. Had everything squared no symetricry. In one patch he had these ceramic ducks yes pretty much in a row. One day I saw him driving up and down past his yard and he would stop, get out and repostion one of the ducks. Lots of slob art in yards. More profound around Christmas time. |

In North Jersey at Christmas Time, there is a guy that fills his front lawn with holiday slob art. Santa in his sleigh, elves, reindeer, giant candy canes, a ton of lights, giant candles, the lot. He also hangs a metal container with a coin slot on his fence, in case people want to make donations.
And just north of New York City, on the road to White Plains, I saw two houses near the highway that were similarly decorated. Those two were laid out a little more eloquently than the Jersey guy's place, who'd use pieces of wood cut out with a jigsaw and painted red and white. The New York State houses used a lot of white lights and decorations that were somewhat impressive looking. However, what made these houses unique was that they each had floodlights around 5,000 candle-power each that were so bright, people (like me) would pull off at the next exit and drive to see the display up close. The houses were on a cul-de-sac, so people could drive past the display, then simply loop around the end of the street and get a second viewing on the way back. There was a line of cars doing this when I was there, and the line wasn't getting shorter. I wonder what their neighbors thought of this. [:0]
