Wormer? Dead! Niedermeyer? Dead!
A classic line from a classic movie. Too bad it's actually true.
The BDS was saddened to learn this morning of the passing of John Vernon. Best known as Dean Wormer in "Animal House" (which just so happens to be one of the single greatest comedies...ever), he delivered some of the more memorable lines in a movie filled with them. He told us fat, drunk and stupid was no way to go through life.
Advice we obviously ignored.
We've been on double-secret probabtion for longer than we can remember because of him. However, Vernon wasn't satisfied with making just one movie the BDS holds higher than most. He also played John Fletcher, Clint Eastwood's turncoat friend in the legendary western Outlaw Josey Wales. But he'll be remembered most as Dean Wormer, the man whose deep baritone voice and deadpan line delivery still makes the average drunk laugh 30 years later.
"The time has come for someone to put his foot down.
And that foot is me!"
Yes it was, John. Yes it was.

Greg, thanks for giving us all hope that the next generation will get it. And may your daughter never forget who the worst fraternity on campus was.
Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.
Dean Wormer: Cut the horseshit, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Delta, sir.
Dean Wormer: Of course I'm talking about Delta, you twerp!
