Ok that...is pure awesome. Love the touch with the twinkies.
Yeah, they've been adding more junk food and favorites of Egons to the memorial (ex. Cheez-Its).

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Most of the subtle humor in Ghostbusters came from Venkman (whose lines were written by Ramis).

I especially loved...

"what a lovely singing voice you must have."
"yes, it's true. This man has no dick. Well, that's what I heard..."


Hopefully, Ramis will come back as a class 5 free-roaming vapor.

Preferably not a real nasty one, too. :wink:

Saw this on a gaming site:

"Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of sadness 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."
"Gunslinger indeed. Quick draw, Bob. Quick draw." --Count Chocula

"Unquestionably, Dr. Who is MUCH lighter in tone than WH40K. But then, I could argue the entirety of WWII was much lighter in tone than WH40K." --Broomstick

"This is ridiculous. I look like the Games Workshop version of a Jedi Knight." --Harry Dresden, Changes

"Like...are we canonical?" --Aaron Dembski-Bowden to Dan Abnett

Won't mind saying it made me tear up :(
That's a terrible drawing! Not its quality, but the idea that the Ghostbusters would trap him? Horrible! The one with the dropped proton pack and Egon drifting off with Slimer is much better. This one just seems (unintentionally) cruel.

I heard my young sons in the bathroom this morning, and the first thought that popped into my head was "Don't cross the streams."

Rest in peace, Mr. Ramis. You will be missed.

I think it's safe to say that many of us thought that growing up and in that situation. :wink :mrgreen:
