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?

What's good Maurice?
It's been... a week, as they say. Glad it's almost friday though :comfy:
Is it pronounced "morris" or "moor-reece"?
The latter, honestly I didn't know you could pronounce it like the former
I've seen both, the former being more common in my experience!
It really has. Hopefully the weekend mellows out.
hi, fellow mod :stalin-pipe:
Mod? I was told the "M" stood for Maurice :brow:

They are megathread regulars and mods
hmm. ok, thanks.
Just post constantly and you'll get there.
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
