hehe. Remember we're amateurs, so maybe the villagers in "young
Frankenstein"?


Or the townsfolk in "Blazing Saddles".

Believe it or not I've never watched it!


Rent it. You won't be dissapointed. Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri
Garr, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Peter Boyle and even Gene
Hackman.

I was never a Mel Brooks fan, and
I believe that was one of his, wasn't it...???


One of his best, although it's tough to pick from among classics such
as "Blazing Saddles" ("Mongo is but pawn in game of life" and "The
Producers" ("Boids. Doity, stinking, disgusting boids.")

(moment of silence as we remember N0BK, now in a better place)

Oh yes. It's worth a look, even if just to see the young Terri Garr. I
like it best out of all his movies.


So many great moments in "YF":

"Elevate me!"

"What knockers!"

"Oh you men. Six or seven quick ones and you're off with the boys..."

"What hump?"

"Frau Blucher!"

"You gave the monster part of your wonderful brain. But what did the
monster give you?"

(sung):"Oh sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you!"

and the one I've used many many times:

"Could be worse. Could be raining."
