And That Foot Was Him

John Vernon is dead. Vernon is best known for his role as Dean Vernon Wormer in "Animal House", the movie about the original misanthropic frat boys of Delta Tau Chi.

Vernon's passing got me to thinking (always a dangerous thing) about how "Animal House" might be updated to deal with some present day misanthropes.

I envision one particularly memorable scence proceeding as follows:

Hugh Hewitt: Generalissimo, what is the worst blog in the Northern Alliance?
Generalissimo: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.
Hugh: Cut the crap, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into Hindrocket's pool? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the SCSU alumni dinner? Every Halloween, Mitch Berg's trees are filled with underwear. Every time Lileks has them over, the toilets explode.
Generalissimo: You're talking about Fraters Libertas, sir.
Hugh: Of course I'm talking about Fraters Libertas, you twerp!

Hugh Hewitt...what a tool.
