RIP Shecky Greene - The Eyes of Rome Are Upon You
« on: 02 January 2024, 16:48:44 »

I'll always remember this comedian for his roles in Mel Brooks' "History of the World part1".

In addition to the triumphant general depicted above, he was also the "soothsayer" at the start of the scene in Rome:

"I predict you're going on a looooong journey!  A looooooooong journey!"

"Where am I going?"

"You're going to Rome!"

"I am in Rome!!!"

"DO I LIE?!?"
