My car broke down, took it to the shop, and to fix it is more than I have and...
...my bills have piled up so I'm sad and depressed and scared about my future!
So to keep from crying over my circumstances I pop in a DVD of Laurel and Hardy I got at the Library, but it's not their good films, it's something from TV show appearances and the two are very old and not looking well, possibly sick and dying. It was so depressing I quickly went online to find some of their state changing comedy. Because I needed my state changed in a big way! So I stumbled on Paul Merton's "Silent Clowns" miniseries from BBC Four and I was saved from crying over how my life is in the pooper. I love Paul Merton, he does great work, I feel we've had some similar events happen in our lives. He's handled his events much better than I, however. When I lived in London I once saw him perform to an indifferent crowd who eventually was won over by him, then months later saw him walking toward me rather fast on the sidewalk in Camden, I worked up the nerve to say, Hello!" and have a wonderful conversation with him, so he replied "Hello!" without slowing his pace one bit. He may have even sped up and then he broke into a run. http://paulmerton.com/ I really like his documentaries, like the "early" Hitchcock works, but this "Silent Clowns" miniseries is great stuff, too! So I will now share them with you through the magic of YouTube, so you better watch them soon or they will be deleted! Also know these are multipart shows and you will have to click part 2/7 and so forth from within the embedded window, cause I'm just posting the opening (1/7) part of each episode. There's Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy, so dig in, pop some popcorn and have fun!
