THIRTEEN REASONS WHY I AM A DEVOTED MARXIST
The Pink Flamingo's 64th Edition
THURSDAY THIRTEEN
(A two-fer)

This Thursday Thirteen is dedicated to all the devoted Marx Brothers' fans, including my father and my friend Mark.  The Marx Brothers were pioneers of comedy and the movies.  Their work made it possible for future masters in the field from Alan Alda's Hawkeye to Saturday Night Live, to Laugh-In.  They were the kings of comedy before people even knew what comedy at the movies actually was.  If you have never seen their movies you are in for a treat.  My favorite is Duck Soup.  My favorite scene in all of their movies is A Night At the Opera when Harpo and Chico substitute Take Me Out to the Ballgame for the score of an opera.  As the orchestra began playing, they stood up and started hawking peanuts and hotdogs.
