Random Keaton Note #26
In the late 20s/early 30s Buster pitched a western film plot to MGM. He would play an inadequate easterner assisting his aunt, to be played by Marie Dressler, to catch up to a wagon train. MGM didn't go for it. I dunno-- sounds pretty good to me.

Buster owned a Belgian Sheepdog in the 1920s named Captain. This looks like a Malinois to me.

Patience and Fortiude
So, yeah, whatever happened to the next video??? I'm asking myself that same question. The technical side of Silver17 has been rather busy this summer, leaving us creative types in a lurch. All I can say is, it will arrive some day... Hang in there.
