You have to wonder if David ever had a nickname himself.
Any thoughts on what it might have been? “Skip”? “Davey”? … I have a hard time picturing something with Zing to it, and figure it would have been something more like one from the rich-kid fraternity in Animal House.
P.S. Don’t do the math on how long ago Animal House hit theaters. It’s depressing.
I must have seen Animal House about 987 times. I seen it in theater then a bit later went off to college and one of my buds, his frat house would run it every night for like the entire year. I know it by heart.
David was probably Flounder. (some guys change when they get older. It would explain where Paste got his looks…)
Animal House was the first time I saw my normally rather prudish Dad actually laugh at something that was not Jerry Clower. We were visiting a cousin who had bought a RCA VideoDisc system. The store gave him a free movie and that was what he picked.
We all sat in the living room of his house and watched the movie while my Dad sat through the whole thing and laughed at various points. I later learned that he was quite a different person in his younger days than the person I knew in my youth. That was the first time I had some clue he was not quite as uptight as my siblings and I has been led to believe.
It has bee twelve years since we lost him and I still think back to that night from time to time.
Today I had to adult for my mom. I lost her a few months ago, and she had had custody of dad’s urn. The executor and I talked today on where internment was going to be and the stones and disbursement of worldly goods. I’m states away… You have my condolences.
SUCH a poser! lol
When David attended private school, he was always called “Wedge,” or Wedgie,” as a sign of how much respect he deserved. In university, it was “Dodger.” At business school, it was “Dodgy,” “Loophole,” or “Loopy.” Now, at home, the kitchen staff just calls him “Skidmark,” or “Marky Mark.” Because of how much they love him.
you thought that?
excuse me -explodes laughing my a… off>
do you EVEN KNOW YOUR SON!
I dunno… someone who sets themselves on FIRE for attention.. while zip lining MIGHT be an idiot.. but not a poser..
Watched “Animal House” again about two weeks ago, introduced it to my 17 year old son. He has a great sense a humor, says things that just come out of left field all the time, a real out of the box thinker, that just constantly has me laughing hard. However, here I am watching this comedy that my friends and I had quoted constantly in high school, laughing, and my son is just sitting there. He did laugh once or twice, but most of the time silent. He did this to me with “Stripes” and “Caddyshack” too. Sigh. At least he loves the Monty Python movies.
Ramon is right. Paste has needed a good slap for a long time, perhaps this will be it? He has over-reached himself and is being used by people he doesn’t understand.
Paste is definitely in need of a slap.. but he is using people just as much as he is being used. He’s young, a bit of a douche, but he is flat out HONEST about what he wants and why. How he goes about it, manipulation and wild eyed insanity…
