I just found out that Darren McGavin died on Saturday. That makes me so sad. Not only was he Ralphie's Dad, but he was Billy Madison's Dad!!! I also had no clue he was 83. It seemed to me like he was permanently in his 50's or 60's.

Farewell, Mr. Parker. You deserve a major award!

I am glad you pointed out the Billy Madison's Dad thing! No story written about him that I've seen has mentioned that. And now, some of my favorite Darren McGavin quotes:

"God DAMN it Billy!"
"Well, there's one too many...!"
"SONSOFBITCHES! BUMPUSES!!"
