Borrowing [OregonMuse]
— Open Blogger

We haven't had a new thread for awhile, so let me see if I can slap something together here.

OK, so I hope you all remember the classic "chalice from the palace" bit from the Danny Kaye movie The Court Jester. If you don't, here it is, in all it's tongue-twisting glory:

Me, I think this is almost as good as Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" sketch, but, as the poet says, YMMV. What you may not know, however, is that this is not an original comedy bit. It appears to have borrowed heavily from a similar routine in this 1939 Bob Hope movie:

Isn't that interesting? I never knew about this earlier version until recently. So I guess Obama can say to Danny Kaye "you didn't write that!"

Bonus appearance by a young Andy Devine in the second clip. Also, racism.

And, oh yeah, open thread.

23 Scenes like this have got to be the most difficult scenes for a comedian. Trying to think of Monty Python sketches on this theme. The closest I can think of is the "Life of Brian" - where Pilate (Michael Palin) is deadly serious and everyone else is trying not to laugh at the name... of his fwiend... And Palin couldn't do it. Toward the end of the sketch he is clearly losing it.

116 If I was Ms. Knox, I would vanish.
There is an art to vanishing. Not many people get it right.
First thing, leave your money, your credit cards, your car, all your possessions. Do not use your passport or ATM cards.
Second thing, change your appearance, including your gait.
Third, take your cell phone and chuck it in to a river.
Fourth, never contact anyone you know. Ever again.

Thanks. I hadn't seen the Bob Hope clip and I enjoyed it.

My favorite Danny Kay part was when he made a big group of people into an orchestra. He made each section of the group an orchestral section and then conducted them to play a song. I can't remember the name of the movie.

Kaye couldn't read music but could lead an orchestra. The then conductor of the New York Philharmonic said he "gets more out of my orchestra than I have."

121 I don't think there's any substantial evidence that Danny Kaye was gay or that he had a long term liason with Laurence Olivier, but if you read some gay writers about Hollywood everybody was gay or bisexual: "Gottfried finds no evidence to back up the rumor that Kaye was secretly gay and had an affair with Laurence Olivier (a theory that's elaborated in Donald Spoto's biography of Olivier). Kaye did have a wrenching affair with Eve Arden, and several flirtations that distracted him from a troubled marriage to Sylvia Fine, who helped to invent his stage persona. But sex seemed to matter less to him than work and his three Walter Mittyish private passions: flying his own plane, watching operations in hospitals, and cooking gourmet Chinese dinners. If there was an essential Danny Kaye, he remains, in Gottfried's phrase, an ''eternal question mark.''

123 Being tried for murder and being sued for wrongful death are two different things. If someone killed your spouse you are suing for income lost, for pain and lost of companionship for you and maybe your kids, etc. No criminal court orders a convicted murderer to compensate the family of the murder victim for those losses. It's not double jeopardy.

As if it were Cosmic Justice time, and we were going to have to pay for every sleazy, immoral shortcut we'd followed which brought us to the utter degradation of electing a Barack Obama. So anyone who might have been able to hold back the coming floodwaters was being systematically removed before he could do anything to slow down what's coming. I still feel that way, and not just about the U.S.A. Pope Benedict just resigning, and being replaced by a socialist buffoon was another nail being driven in. Nothing is going to be left standing.
