Yeah, that pretty much sums it up for Lestat. The whole “live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse…THAT LIVES FOREVER” usually ends in pain. Lots and lots of tiny Kirsten Dunst inflicted pain.

Piper: I’m not sure I ever got washing advice, and looking back it might have come in handy to know the proper order. I like “a little bit goes a long way” to which I’d add my mother’s fave “when it’s gone, it’s gone!”

Sulu: Yeah, we might have to save those pearls of wisdom for another time. Like 32 years after pop has crossed into the great beyond.

Shouldn’t there be a comment or two in there about the facts of life? And I’m not referring to your father warning you away from fat chicks who live in boarding schools.

Great post.

My Dad also says the ” My name is blank and I’ll be eating” part to every waitress as well.

My Dad also always said things like “a little bit of (blank) goes a long way.”

Also when washing yourself always remember “balls, butt and face. But not in that order.”

But my favorite has to be “it’s good to eat.” That’s a frickin classic. That’s one of the great benefits of living summed up perfectly.

Norm: Excellent suggestion! Michael so desperately wants to take the straight and narrow – “That’s my family, Kate, it’s not me.” – but what’s so terrific about those movies is how inevitable all of the events of the stories are. I wonder if that means that my kids are all destined to get into marketing – and if so, which bus out of town I should take.

Craig: Thanks so much for your kind words and good wishes. I like to poke gentle fun at my own dad, but – like I just said above – it’s pretty much inevitable that I see him in much of what I do and say each day.

I still like to think that I’m slightly cooler and that my jokes are slightly better.

I’m late as usual, but that was terrific.

I loved how you blended an affectionate (and pretty universal) appreciation of your father with your own dad-hood and then tied the whole thing to the movies. Nicely done.

Also, happy day after Father’s Day.

Alan-

What a great idea. But if you want to talk about attempting to control destiny, I have to suggest the greatest victim of destiny, Michael Corleone.

But, hey Anakin too. Both the products of their fathers’ paths.
