Episode 76 — Hal Rudnick, Our Close Friend

[Episode 76 — Hal Rudnick, Our Close Friend]

Hey, it's Colt. I posted the cannonball joke on page two. Remember?

Well, anyway, after reading McGurl's forum guide (which I've been treating as a bible of sorts. And by that I mean I've hollowed out the inside of it to store a loaded gun) I've come under the impression that new posters are encouraged to share pictures of their grandfathers (gd's) and father's (d's, at it were). And so I will now participate in this tradition in order to further legitimize myself as a good commentator.

This is my grandpa and I re-enacting our favorite scene from "Whiplash" (dir: Damien Chazevelle) at an Oscar party. "Not quite my tempo!" lol (But, seriously, he did throw a metal folding chair at my head. Greatest generation? more like meanest generation.)

This is the only photo I have of my dad. We met at a Phoenix, AZ Hooters in 2009.

P.S. My profile avatar (dir: James Cameron) is also of my grandpa. This time we're at a family reunion and he's planking on top of my cousin's stripped apart monster truck. So let the record show that I come from a long lineage of intelectuals and academia types.

Cannonball!

 

(I write this because I've been wanting to "jump" into these forums for a while now, but wasn't exactly sure of how to make a big "splash" with my first "comment.")

I agree! Scott should either correct things on the next episode or buy him a pony - Colt's choice as to which, of course!

I'd prefer the latter, but I'll settle for the former.
