Default The 3 Stooges - Every Pie Thrown In a Stooges Epic Was Thrown by Moe

Thanks Dien,

Thanks to The GOLDEN RULE of Pie Throwing Moe Howard - HEAD STOOGE
of the 3 Stooges Guaranteed The Success of his Stooges.

I Recently Read a book by Moe Howard.

I - How He Got Into a Fight every day at School becuz his Mom
Loved to Brush his long Hair.

II - How at age 8 Little Moe got on a Train. Travelled 1000 Miles to The Nearest
Movie Lot. And Got a Job Acting.

HOW Did he do it?

He volunteered to Fetch Lunch for the Gate Guards.

Then Refused to take any pay.

Explaining he wanted to be an Actor.

Eventually the Head Gate Guard took him onto the Lot.

Introduced him like this.

Mr Director. This Kid is Special. I'd Like you to Give him an acting job
in one of Your Movies. Hey kid. What was your name again?"

The Director Laughed.

Said, "Sure we can always use another Extra.

MOE didn't tell the Man he Had to Travel by Train
to Get to The studio.

(By the way. The Studio was pretty much a dusty lot. With some fake Store
fronts on it.)

But My FAVORITE tidbit from the book is the PIE THROWING.

Moe was Deadly with a Pie.

To Build Value.

Moe would Wait until shot arter Shot was Ruined because nobody could Throw
a Pie across a room and Hit the Face - Time after Time.

Actually - nobody could do it at all.

Until Moe Said, "Let me Try."

Hit the Face every single time.

Moe says in his book that EVERY DIRECTOR thanked me. Because without my pie
throwing Talent - They would have wasted DAYS and THOUSANDS of Dollars
trying to get the pie Fights Videotaped.

SO REMEMBER.

Every long Range Pie you see on The Stooges was THOWN by MOE HOWARD!

Thanks,
Glenn
