<p>Well, there was that scene in Animal House, when Dean Wormer’s wife hooked up with Otter. But I don’t think it happens IRL (though possibly in a few fevered imaginations?).</p>
<p>Only moms who haven’t actually raised boys could possibly be interested in hooking up with a frat boy. lol</p>
<p>It wasn’t Otter. Otter was the likeable dork. It was the one who eventually became an OB-GYN. Not Hoover, not Bluto, not Flounder, not D-Day…I either know this movie too well or not enough.</p>
<p>IMDB thinks it was Otter :). My 16 y/o d confirms it, reminding me that it was the good-looking one (Tim Mathesen). Boon was the Peter Riegert character, Pinto was Tom Hulce (whose character hooked up with the mayor’s daughter). </p>
<p>D-Day has become one of my favorite characters, after repeated viewings. The actor who played him, Bruce McGill, has been in everything, but is so different-looking nowadays that it’s hard to tell it’s the same guy. Not that I bear more than a passing resemblance to my 1978 self.</p>
<p>I still laugh at Animal House every time I see it…oh man, I forgot to put that on my list of favorite movies!</p>
<p>Yeah, Otter was definitely the one who shagged the Dean’s wife, after throwing game at her in the vegetable aisle of the grocery store. Dang, I have seen that movie way too many times now.</p>
<p>In any event, I’m not sure what’s the big, horrible deal about parents going to bars or parties with their offspring. I guess I’ve been to enough alumni weekends, homecoming events, football and hockey games to know that young people don’t have a monopoly with regards to drunken debauchery. In fact the true “tailgating professionals” at most games are not the students.</p>
<p>****. I just crossed Pinto and Otter. Maybe it’s a sign I need to watch it again.</p>
<p>Sorry, Frazzled.</p>
<p>I was just reading something the other day about Hoover (Widdoes is his name)…I guess he’s behind the camera now…not sure if its Producer or Director, but he’s been very involved in alot of very successful TV shows these past few years. His photo was literally unrecognisable though.</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with going to bars with your offspring. It would be nice if the adults acted like adults, however, and demonstrated responsible drinking. </p>
<p>I know my kids would be mortified if I got drunk in front of them & their friends, as they would be mortified getting drunk in front of me. That might just be us, tho.</p>
