Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx (October 2, 1890 – August 19, 1977) was an American comedian, actor, writer, stage, film, radio, and television star. He is generally considered to have been a master of quick wit and one of America's greatest comedians.
He made 13 feature films as a team with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, primarily on radio and television, most notably as the host of the game show You Bet Your Life.
His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, spectacles, cigar, a thick greasepaint mustache, and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the most recognizable and ubiquitous novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses: a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, a large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.
He was also secretly related to Karl Marx, the secret sixth Marx Brother.

"Although it is generally known, I think it's about time to announce that I was born at a very early age."- Groucho Marx, famed political theorist :very-smart:
How come there isn't a Groucho Engels? :thinkin-lenin:
Who else would Marx have been exchanging letters with in his famous theory book, The Groucho Letters: Letters From and To Groucho Marx?
i am avoiding doing this thing that needs to get done and it is making me angry
It's been... a week, as they say. Glad it's almost friday though :comfy:
The latter, honestly I didn't know you could pronounce it like the former
Mod? I was told the "M" stood for Maurice :brow:
Well, might try new taglines, but that's about it
I sorted it like that a little while ago :comfy:
It's one of the better sites out there imo :comfy-cool:
I should maybe probably know this, but what does it mean to be added in? Are those who get tagged at the beginning of each megathread just like well-known posters?
some day I wish to post a take so extreme I am immediately added. For now I just practice.
Would that I had anything worth posting.
:deeper-sadness:
Honestly just post whatever comes to mind, that's my strategy lol
cursed fucking post

Day 2 of anti work quotes
In the year 1930, John Maynard Keynes predicted that, by century’s end, technology would have advanced sufficiently that countries like Great Britain or the United States would have achieved a fifteen-hour work week. There’s every reason to believe he was right. In technological terms, we are quite capable of this. And yet it didn’t happen. Instead, technology has been marshaled, if anything, to figure out ways to make us all work more. In order to achieve this, jobs have had to be created that are, effectively, pointless. Huge swathes of people, in Europe and North America in particular, spend their entire working lives performing tasks they secretly believe do not really need to be performed. The moral and spiritual damage that comes from this situation is profound. It is a scar across our collective soul. Yet virtually no one talks about it

Coward mods posting the Groucho mega in history instead of Marxism. SMH.
You know what's really funny? Watching someone on a stage explain how the thing they just said technically isn't bigoted and how they're actually a Good Person. I think stand up comedians should take this trend to it's logical extreme and just tell one joke at the beginning of their set, then spend the next hour going through various justifications and technicalities regarding said joke, and complaining about people not liking it.
Although honestly, do you really need the joke at that point? We should just replace stand-up comedy altogether and instead just have people stand on stage reading out Twitter arguments they had and explaining why they were right.
