Those six words were uttered by Kevin Bacon during the movie Animal House. What you may not have known is the fact that he was getting spanked in a Pike house. Thats correct the Omega house just so happened to be an actual Pike house. The movie was shot at Oregon which I also didn't know, but found out this weekend from Stewart Mandel's blog. He asked for an Oregon student to show him around this weekend and the kid he picked ended up being a Pike.
Here is an exerpt from his blog:
Long before Joey Harrington or Dennis Dixon, Oregon was best known for … running legend Steve Prefontaine (also a Pike). While I did took a peek into Prefontaine's former stomping grounds, famed track venue Hayward Field, just a little while ago, I have to admit I was much more excited to learn that my host, Eric Goss (who hereby will be referred to solely as "Goss," as everyone on this campus calls him), used to live in the former Omega house from the movie Animal House.
As he said, "Kevin Bacon got spanked in my living room."
That's right, comedy lovers. Animal House was shot at Oregon. Sadly, the fictional Omega house, formerly home to Goss' fraternity, Pike, is now deserted. Even worse, the site of the fictional Delta house -- the building where John Belushi once uttered the words, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" -- is gone. Leveled. Replaced by a faceless doctor's office. Even the front-lawn where Belushi watched the movers "take the bar!" has been paved over by a parking lot. Only a nondescript plaque out front marks the property's claim to fame.
However, in addition to the Omega house next door, Goss also pointed out to me the sorority house where Bluto and D-Day tried to sneak in and the "women's house" where Otter landed himself dates for him and his three friends.
I was once in a fraternity myself, at Northwestern, but ours was kind of a PG-13 fraternity. I'm starting to get the sense that Goss, a "fifth-year senior," is a true frat guy. First of all, he's been taking calls all day from fraternity brothers having to do with some secret ritual* taking place tonight.
*I wonder if that "secret ritual" happened to actually be hazing?
