Be'-Be's Kids, is quite simply the finest comedy album ever, narrowly edging out Andrew Clay's The Day the Laughter Died, and Eddie Murphy's Raw. The late Robin Harris (1953-1990) was at his absolute zenith with this offering, and much like people focused on Clay's nursery rhymes, the Be' Be's kids bit overshadowed his other stuff. Which, like Clay's routines, wasn't even the high point of his material. Don't get me wrong, the Be' Be's kids bit was funny, but the bit about fat chicks at the mall, the LA Clippers, and his constant throwing of Compton under the bus was comedic genius. Harris' timing was impeccable, his story telling was incredible, and like Clay, if you were in the audience and heckled him, he'd crush you. Tragically, his life ended at the age of 36, just when his career was taking off. Not only that, his wife was three months pregnant at the time. Below average. This cat touched a lot of people, me included. Do yourself a favor and check out Be' Be's Kids, you won't be disappointed.

Robin Harris: Short life, long on comedy
Be'-Be's Kids, is quite simply the finest comedy album ever, narrowly edging out Andrew Clay's The Day the Laughter Died, and Eddie Murphy's Raw.

The all red bezel is then chemically treated rolex replica on the half of the surface that will eventually become blue. The completed sintering process specially developed by Rolex after years of replica watches trial and error results in a red and blue bezel, with an impressively bold set of colors that has a perfect demarcation between the two colors. It is really a brilliant effect, and no one but Rolex can come close to producing anything like rolex replica it in bulk. So just one year after the blue and black version of the GMT-Master II comes a blue and rolex replica red version. Clearly, Rolex has been pushing for a return to a blue and red GMT bezel for a while, and given the complexity of working with ceramic colors I am impressed at how relatively short it took them. The real question is whether people who replica watches uk purchased (or will purchase) a ref. 116710 BLNR have anything to be upset about.
