Hrm. Millie as Groucho brings whole new meaning to "Duck Soup".<br><br>What that meaning is, I don't know.

Who are these people that they look like? I think there is a faint feeling of familiarity to those clothes, but besides that I have no idea.

The Marx Brothers were essentially sibling comedians. The full list is: Groucho (Julius Henry Marx), Chico (Leonard Marx), Harpo (Adolph Arthur Marx,), Zeppo (Herbert Marx) and Gummo (Milton Marx).<br><br>Millie is dressed as Groucho, who is probably the most famous of the brothers. The cheap glasses with an attached nose, mustache and eyebrows that can be bought in dollar stores are called "Groucho glasses" after Groucho Marx. (The glasses are supposed to resemble his glasses and facial hair.)<br><br>Ozy is dressed as Harpo. Harpo played a mute in all the Marx Brothers' performances, but he was not actually a mute. In performances, he would use a horn (which Ozy is holding) to "talk". He also played the harp (hence the name "Harpo").<br><br>Full list of the Marx Brothers movies:<br><!--QuoteBegin--> <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'><b>Quote:</b> </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'>     * Humor Risk (probably 1921)<br>    * The Cocoanuts (1929)<br>    * Animal Crackers (1930)<br>    * Monkey Business (1931)<br>    * Horse Feathers (1932)<br>    * Duck Soup (1933)<br>    * A Night at the Opera (1935)<br>    * A Day at the Races (1937)<br>    * Room Service (1938)<br>    * At the Circus (1939)<br>    * Go West (1940)<br>    * The Big Store (1941)<br>    * A Night in Casablanca (1946)<br>    * Love Happy (1949)<br>    * The Story of Mankind (1957)<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br><br><a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_Brothers' target='_blank'>Wikipedia Article</a>

The Marx bros seem a good match for O&M. Just absurd enough.

I love that bit. "Wouldn't it be easier to put the stateroom in the trunk?" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>
