Like many fans of sophomoric humor, Seattlest loves Animal House. We blame it on the Seattle Mariners who used the Belushi "it's not over" speech to rally the crowd and team when the M's were down late in a game. Let's be frank, as a child of the 80's we saw this video at more games at the Kingdome than not. By the time we were old enough to enjoy the wonder that is Animal House, we could probably recite the scene word for word.

Remember those heady days before the 2004 election? When all anyone ever talked about was red vs. blue? Those were good times for America, and good times for internet comedy site JibJab, who captured the zeitgeist with a little Flash-animated featurette called "This Land." We didn't hear much from JibJab for a while, but they're back with the Great Sketch Experiment, in which they teamed up with legendary comedy film director John Landis (Animal House, Blues Brothers, Coming to America, to name a few) to produce six short films performed by some of the best independent comedy troupes in America.

The Seattle Times had a front page piece the other day about how a UW fraternity has given up the date rape and brawling in lieu of correct posture, wine tasting and knowing which fork to use for the salad. This is the SigEps' "Balanced Man" program. Seattlest is guessing that Balanced Men still find the time to get shitfaced and punch holes in the drywall, but ideally at someone else's house and not while wearing identifying markings.
