Classic OOPS

One thing I love about bloggin' on Saturdays is that, hey, it's Saturday, right? Let's have fun! So what's more fun and says "OOPS" better than a slip on a banana peel and a pie fight that engulfs a whole city?? And who does it better than Laurel and Hardy?

So sit back with your morning coffee (or your evening popcorn), and enjoy this four-minute OOPS fest, courtesy of L&H and The LadyKillers. :-)

Historical tidbits (because I can't resist): This scene is from the silent film "The Battle of the Century," which was released in December 1927. This pie fight scene and the opening scene featuring a VERY funny boxing sequence are the only bits still existing. A very young Lou Costello is in the audience of the opening fight scene. If you'd like to see the fight (and see some very fancy footwork on the part of Stan Laurel), you can watch it on YouTube here.

Late-breaking Saturday news for those in the Chicago area:

LadyKiller Michael A. Black has a book signing at Centuries & Sleuths bookstore in Forest Park, IL, today, December 1, from 2-4 PM.

Great clip, Ann. I'd forgotten how great Stan and Ollie were. This one had me laughing out loud. Thanks for sharing it with us.
