For me it's Larry, Curly and Moe.

It came to my attention lately in a Cleveland trivia book, that that order was created by Captain Penny. Some of our older Northeast Ohio posters will remember him and his show back in the late 50's and early 60's, which featured The Three Stooges.

Apparently, in other parts of the country, the order is Moe, Larry and Curly. Captain Penny felt his way sounded better.

It's kinda like pop/soda and devil's strip/tree lawn.

How do you say it?

Possibly your parents did and passed that order of saying it on to you?

Joe was 71 in this pic and Moe was 76, both died 2 years later in 1975

Curly died at age 48

Shemp oldest born in 1895 but died in early 50’s

Joe (sucked) made it until 1988

You never mentioned Larry in your post, Big Dawg.

Since the iconic line goes "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard", the order should be either Moe, Larry, and Curly, or Curly, Larry, and Moe.

At the beginning of several of their films, they show portraits of the three in the order of Curly, Larry and then Moe.

For some reason, I've always thought it was just Larry, Moe and Curly.

Google results:

Larry Moe and Curly: 1.19M

Larry Curly and Moe: 1.08M

Moe Larry and Curly: 1.63M

Moe Curly and Larry: 1.19M

Curly Larry and Moe: 1.12M

Curly Moe and Larry: 1.27M

Interesting results ^^^^^^

As I first posted, it appears as though the majority of outside NE Ohio chooses Moe, Larry and Curly.
