    With social distancing it would be difficult to get together for the annual Spring Stoogefest. Anyone up for a virtual one? One or two guys can plan on doing some work while the rest of us sit at home drinking beer and telling them what they are doing wrong. Those out of Southern California would have a chance to participate.

    Any of the original Stooges like this idea? Anyone know how many we can get on a zoom conference?

    I have seen almost 1000 on zoom at work. Not an original stooge but I'd participate. I'd even do something on my car if we need project to do.

    Hoping some original Stooges want to participate to legitimize it as a Stoogefest. (Ive hosted a few but Im not an OS) Non-Stooges welcome to join in.

    That’s a cool idea. I’d participate just to meet all the regular posters here vs. some interweb personification.

    “Original Stooges”
    “Non-Stooges“

    Is there a regular stooge, or “Stooge”?

    I assume Original Stooges are like “founders,” but what defines a “Stooge” and “Non-Stooge.”

    Only the ones whose names are scribed on the Ketel Award can be considered life-time members of the Stooges. And the hosts, of course. Everybody else is a pretender.

    Fake certification. There are no fasteners on a 348 (your car) that use a 12mm wrench.

    That's even worse. There are no 21mm fasteners on a 348 either.

    Hey you are all Stooges in my book. You don't need any of us originals to bless an event.

    Just have at it, pretend to fix things, tell lies, tell tall stories...alcohol is ok if not driving, using sharp tools or a jack.

    If we did a StoogeZoomtopia we need a theme. Maybe each if the original stooges needs to come up with a stupid trick to show the class. I vote for Bruce making a blender from a starter motor...you need those margaritas.
