I love this film. I think it’s one of their best! The bedroom laughing search scene! The thumb lighter! The dance! The Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia! Pure Laural & Hardy comedy. ❤️

When I was a kid we had a school trip downtown and there was a final top piece of the yet to be completed CN Tower on the ground for kids to sign their names. I’m sure my name has been painted over many times now but at one point my name was up there!
Stunning work. Love the muted colours and soft lighting.

Beautiful work!

I love this. Beautifully painted!
Every time I happen to catch him on tv he’s sh*t-talking. That is literally all he does. Negative bloviating disrespecting a-hole.

I never missed an episode in the 70’s! I even hacked and sewed together my own costume and jumped off anything that I thought wouldn’t break my ankle, haha. I had your poster on my wall, the one with the white and red striped cape! Thank you for the adventures!
