Hey! Did you know that
the pie fights of Ben Turpin appear on the
book flap of my surprisingly (?) cheap first edition of
Mack Sennett's autobiography? Allow me to quote: "
custard pies sailed through the air and hit Ben Turpin with a splurch between
his beloved, mis-mated eyes." Thus do at least three or four separate "blog" threads come together in stunning
cosmic alignment. Yes, "splurch."
