If Jack Bauer was Spartan in the movie 300, the movie would be called 1.

Jack Bauer is what Willis was talking about.

Jack Bauer could get off the Lost island in 24 hours.

Jack Bauer has been to Mars. Thats why there's no life on Mars.

Thank You, Egon

The entertainment world lost a great one today.  At the age of 69, Harold Ramis passed away.  Director of Groundhog Day, star of Stripes, and most importantly, Egon Spengler.

Nothing makes you come to terms with your own mortality like losing a childhood hero.  I must admit that I did get a bit teary eyed today when I found out.  I even checked several online sources before I gave in and believed it.  Sadly, it was true.

 I first encountered Ramis like a great number of us did, as Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters.  1984, I sat in the movie theater with my best friend Colby.  His parents had dropped us off and there we were, watching the Ghostbusters in all their glory.  We both left that theater chit chatting away on how we were going to create our own group and bust some paranormal heads of our own.  We played Ghostbusters that night, the next day, and on into the rest of that school year.  I ended up seeing that movie on THREE different occasions while it was out.  Very unheard of in those times and days.

When I think back, Murray was magic, Akroyd was phenomenal, but Ramis was IT.  Without his dry sense of humor and facial expressions, who would the other two master comics have played off of?

I have Ghostbuster shirts, toys, posters, movies…heck, there is even a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Slimer on my kiddos’ walls thanks to my lovely wife.  My kids have been exposed to the movies.   Ghostbusters had a huge part in developing me into who I am today.  I thank Harold Ramis for playing a huge part of that.

You know what else is funny?  Egon was actually my nickname in high school.  I not only had a mullet, but I had what was known as a fullet, part fro, part mullet.  This is what earned me the title of Egon.  I actually wore it with pride.  Even carved it on locker number in Woodlawn High School’s hallway.  That was back in 1988.  And you know what?  Up through a few years ago, it was STILL there!

There may never be a Ghostbusters III, but in reality, who really needs it?  All one needs to do is pop in the DVD of Ghostbusters to see the true magic. 30 years ago Ramis graced the screen as Egon Spengler, and 30 years from now we will STILL be talking about his contributions to the entertainment world. 

“Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.”

Some Twinkie?  Mr Ramis, you were something special.

Thanks for the memories.
