Chico Marx died 49 years ago today. It is also Columbus Day.

"Christopher Columbo he write-a
the Queen of Spain a very nice little-a note
He write "I Love You, baby"
and then he gets himself a great-a big-a boat
He's a wise-a guy.
What do you think Columbo do
When he come here in 1492
He said to Pocahontas
"Acki Vachi Vachi Voo,
"That means "You little son
of a gun, I Love You."

Mrs. Teasdale: Your Excellency, I thought you'd left!
Chicolini: Oh no, I no leave.
Mrs. Teasdale: But I saw you with my own eyes!
Chicolini: Well, who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?

R.I.P. Chico

He makes more money not playing
But not-a rehearsing, you couldn't afford it!
See, if-a he no rehearse, he no play
And if-a he no play, well then that-a runs into money!

Prosecutor: Chicolini, you are charged with high treason, and if found
guilty, you will be shot.
Chicolini: I object.
Prosecutor: You object? On what grounds?
Chicolini: I couldn't think of anything else to say.
Firefly: Objection sustained.
Prosecutor: Your majesty, you sustain the objection?
Firefly: Sure, I couldn't think of anything else to say either. Why
don't you object?

I love his courtroom scene with Groucho (no way I can quote the whole
thing from memory) involving irrelevant (an elephant) and dollars
(Dallas) and taxes (Texas)!

So now I tell you how we fly to America. The first time we started we
got-a half way there when we run out a gasoline, and we gotta go back.
Then I take-a twice as much gasoline. This time we're just about to
land, maybe three feet, when what do you think: we run out of gasoline
again. And-a back-a we go again to get-a more gas. This time I take-a
plenty gas. Well, we get-a half way over, when what do you think
happens: we forgot-a the airplane. So, we gotta sit down and we talk
it over. Then I get-a the great idea. We no take-a gasoline, we no
take-a the airplane. We take steamship, and that friends, is how we
fly across the ocean.

Just got back from a trip to Savannah. When I saw 13 new posts on the
newsgroup (and only *ONE* was a porn ad!) I got so excited I went out
and got us all some Tutsi Frutsi ice cream.

And I won't even try to hustle you over a breeder's guide or a code
book.

Just put your money on Rosie! ;-) (That would be the horse, not the
gal on in the porn ad. <ahem> )

Not sure if it was Columbus Day the day Chico died but it is fitting to think of
him on Columbus Day as in the "final" brothers picture "The Story of Mankind" he
was a monk advising Columbus that the world was flat.

Perhaps Chico didn't die 49 years ago, he just fell off the edge of the earth
into another dimension ;>)
