Battle of the Century

YouTube [laurel hardy pies]

I intended to include this with the 50 ex-Obama administration officials form anti-Trump think-tank. But I forgot. I was going to say, luckily we have video of their first meeting.

I'm not big on pie fights. But this one seems to be an archetype, and it goes on for three minutes with lots of imaginative touches. Did they really deliver pies by truck like that, or is that another thing just made up for the sequence? Because someone always has a convenient pie in their hand. And check out the clever legerdemain of switching the banana.

Over 3,000 cream pies, they say. Best part: Laurel taking pie orders at 2:23.

One like that involving eggs and a well-endowed woman at a bar.

Ollie has some novel thoughts on using a woman's body (and her dress) to break them.

PS Yes, there were bakery trucks in them thar days.
