I was given that nick at Western Mich Univ by a fraternity brother in 1958 and it stuck. When "Animal House" came out much later (in the 70s I think) I was absolutely delighted. Tried though I might, I never quite achieved the level of debauchery in college of the Otter in that movie, although I did get kicked out of WMU for having an unapproved off-campus apartment. "Animal House" is my alltime favorite movie with "Pulp Fiction" running a distant second. I never get tired of watching those two movies whenever they rerun on TV.
OMG! Did 0bomba actually say he wanted to be Otter? I've got WAY MORE seniority than that little twerp.
Cheers, Otter
p.s. Pardon me but is that a Bloody Mary you're gripping in your titanium fingers?
Yes, Otter, but I only grip it long enough... to get it to my lips--
