Can't help it, can't you? You just had to look...Oh, and did I say "ladies"? I'm sorry, I meant "DJs." Anyway this is Steve showing us how comfortable he is with his masculinity..... BEER KISSES
.....or perhaps he just had too much to drink?

While watching "The Three Stooges", it dawned upon me that Curly was Steve all along! Here he is again eyeing a pretty gal.....or is it her wine!..... After all the insults and physical punishments Curly (now known as Steve) had to endure from his so-called friends, Moe and Larry, he suffered from a severe breakdown and vanished without a trace.Now I know that he has reappeared in the '90s, unnoticed to the public, and is now involved in a music group called SMASH MOUTH. He wanted this name because he needed some painful reminder of his past so that he won't forget. He believed that using a name that describes the body part his "pals" had constantly beat him up in would prove to be cathartic.
As an added history, prior to SMASH MOUTH, he was involved in a rap group called F.O.S. Initially, it stood for "F*** Off Stooges!" but he thought it was too explicit. Hence, he ended up calling it "Freedom Of Speech." Sadly this band did not succeed because everytime Curly/Steve would rap, he would end up saying:
"Woobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoobwoob!"
You see, poor Steve/Curly was suffering from a Post-Traumatic Stooge Disorder. All the poundings on the head, the slappings, the kickings, the stranglings, the pokings.....A man does have his limits. It took him 6 painful decades to sort his life out by soul-searching and going through countless psychiatric sessions. Finally, he found wonderful friends who also happened to be talented musicians. And during the night he was watching "Scarface" (see "Fush Yu Mang Tale"), SMASH MOUTH was born.....
Above are photos of Steve trying to erase his loveable (though a much abused and violated) Curly image. He kept his old haircut in the first two but used bug-eyed shaped glasses. He got this idea from the fictional Clark Kent who used prescription glasses to conceal his identity. In the next two photos, he got rid of his glasses then grew out and bleached his hair to get in touch with the '90s kids. But to the discerning eye, we can see that he is still Curly. But now a Curly with attitude and one who will not take any more s*** and abuse from anyone!Ladies and gentlemen, for his courage and determination, let us give Steve a big hand.....
Dammit!!! I didn't mean to hit his head! You okay, Steve?..........
PS: If you think that everything I just said is true then I guess we're both wearing beer goggles right now.....
