Some of the funniest stuff ever. Whenever Stripes is shown on cable, I make time to watch. Still funnier than ****.

Russell: Do the words "Act of War" mean anything to you?
Winger: I have a plan.
Russell: Great! Custer had a plan.

I enjoyed all those Movies.

He wrote the script for "Animal House" that was based somewhat on his frat days at Washington U. in St. Louis. One funny guy. RIP.

Wasn't Bill Murray the big star in all those movies?

I loved his movies, Groundhog Day is my favorite.

Yes, he was, but Ramis wrote Groundhog Day, co-wrote Ghostbusters and a couple of others with Dan Akroyd and Ivan Rietman. I seem to remember an interview in which he preferred writing and directing to acting.

St. Louis has kind of adopted Harold Ramis as he attended Washington University. I also read he liked it better behind the camera rather than in front. In his day, Bill Murray was a funny funny man.

Yes they have, I have several relatives who lived in St. Louis with my niece still there, my wife even lived there for a while.

Use to really like Bill Murray and still enjoy his movies, but haven't cared for his later films.

I passed through your area a couple of weeks ago on my way to the big city, man I hate the traffic up there.

The traffic can be bad. If traveling, it is best to avoid rush hours (6:30-8 am and 4-6:30 pm). If you want to experience really bad traffic, come in for a Cardinal game sometime against the Cubs. Never seen so many cars funnel into the same area!!!

I haven't done the Cardinals vs Cubs thing, but when I was working, I would occasionally spend up to a week in training up there, so I've seen the rush hour traffic; no thanks, only thing that gets me up there anymore is a doctor's appointment.
