It's stood us in good stead, although people look at us like we're crazy when we insist that movies like "Animal House," "Night of the Lepus," and "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" are classics.<br/><br/>Clio--That's fantastic! I'll take it as a sign that I had better get moving on those baby steps and get this conference paper written! First, some coffee... Carl–I’m glad you like the definition my family and I have used. It’s stood us in good stead, although people look at us like we’re crazy when we insist that movies like “Animal House,” “Night of the Lepus,” and “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” are classics.

Clio–That’s fantastic! I’ll take it as a sign that I had better get moving on those baby steps and get this conference paper written! First, some coffee…
