Good Afternoon,

Over the weekend I watched one of my favorite movies, "Stripes". Bill Murray's deadpan humor gets me every single time and John Candy is particularly awesome during the "Mr. Vegas" scene. It's a comedy classic!

The reason I watched it was that I found out that last week was the 30th anniversary of the release of "Stripes". I read a rather interesting article about the movie and included were a few trivia nuggets that I wanted to share with you. Interesting stuff.

Also, I have included the trailer for the newest DVD release of "Stripes". It shows classic scenes, characters and has some of the most quotable lines in comedic film history.

Enjoy and remember, "Don't order the Schnitzel, they're using Schnauzer."

Mouthing Off,
Carl

"Age to me means nothing. I can't get old; I'm working. I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age."
