Last night I enjoyed a delicious beer with Jen, Colleen, Adele, Rebecca and Doug. It was a fascinating swirl of discussion about the red dots in chicken eggs, making mole, and cyptozoology; and a great way to slide into the Memorial Day holiday.
I was amazed to learn that Colleen and Adele's place is atop the stairs made infamous in The Three Stooges "An Ache In Every Stake" episode. For you Three Stooges fans, this is the episode where Larry, Curly and Moe try to deliver blocks of ice up an insanely long flight of stairs on a hot day, turning the block of ice into a tiny melted cube at the top. This episode would always crack me up as a kid and here I was at the top of those stairs sipping Maudite!
I found the original 1941 black and white episode on crackle (below) and the 2004 colorized version on YouTube and more detail than you've ever wanted to know about the episode on wikipedia.
