RIP John Hughes
John Hughes passed away yesterday. He was best known as a director of "teen angst" movies (Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, etc.) but he was foremost a funny damn guy.
I loved reading his stuff in National Lampoon back in the day, his "Vacation '58" was great, better known when made into the Chevy Chase movie. RIP John.. http://www.bizbag.com/Vacation/Vacation%2058.htm

The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off were defining for many of us. Thank you John. RIP.

Here's another of his Lampoon stories. A kid wakes up one morning and his "equipment" has changed. Funny, but some expletives (for the faint of heart)..
