2. GROUCHO!!!
Oh man, his wise cracks and insults were simply sublime...

(Woman being hugged by Groucho) "Hold me closer...closer..closer..."
(Groucho) "If I held you any closer I'd be in back of you!" :D

3. I can't vote...
Between Harpo and Groucho I cannot make a decision. Based on the results thus far--I'm not alone..

4. Groucho, of course.
They eye rolls, the wisecracks, the dancing, the ad libs, the baggy trousers. He's the best.

"I got stood up by a woman and run down by a taxi."

6. I liked Chico.

Most of his scenes played off of Harpo, so he had to be his own straight man.
;-)
Plus I liked his piano playing.

7. 'twas tough, very tough
I've seen their movies, I've read their autobiographies and I think Harpo would probably have been more fun to have known but I had to vote for Groucho. He's made me laugh the most and he's the one who sent me an autographed picture.
Was it Lenin or Trotsky who said "I am a Marxist...of the Groucho sort."? Whoever said it, I agree.

8. Lydia The Tattooed Lady
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
and a torso even more so.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is The Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus too.
And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

When her robe is unfurled she will show you the world,
if you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree,
or Washington crossing The Delaware.

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

11. Zeppo??? Who would vote for Zeppo?
Explain yourselves!

I actually like Chico the best. Love that finger thing on the piano. Except how can you like any ONE of 'em the best? Together they were greater than the sum of their parts.

But Zeppo???

Hey, how come we can't vote for Margaret Dumont?
