Chaplin's Tramp cheers up a sad Duck

I needed some cheering up last night after head coach CHIP KELLY left MY BELOVED OREGON DUCKS for the pro ranks.
I watched "THE TRAMP," a landmark short film by CHARLIE CHAPLIN.
"The Tramp" was Chaplin's sixth film for the Essanay Studios and the first to set what would become his trademark -- a blend of slapstick and sorrow.
Chaplin plays a tramp who falls for a farmer's daughter. The tramp "helps" with farm chores -- nobody should have given him a pitchfork, though -- and eventually helps defend the farm from thieves.
The tramp's romantic dreams are dashed, however, when the daughter's boyfriend returns to the farm and the tramp exits the scene, shuffling down the road.
Despite the film's graininess, it was difficult to believe it was 98 years old. There's a timeless quality of Chaplin's work that plays as well in 2013 as it did in 1915.
