Caddyshack: Monthly Movie Marathon

[westhoff]

Well, how do you measure yourself against other golfers?
By height.

"What an incredible Cinderella story!



This unknown comes out of nowhere
to lead the pack.



He's on his final hole.



He's about yards away.
He's going to hit about a two iron, I think.



Well, he got out of that.
The crowd is standing on its feet.



The normally reserved crowd...



...is going wild!



For this young Cinderella
who has come out of nowhere...



...he's got about yards left.
He'll get a five iron...



...l would expect. Don't you think?



He's got a beautiful back swing.
That's...oh! He got out of that one!



He's got to be pleased with that.
The crowd is on its feet here.



He's a Cinderella boy.



Tears in his eyes, I guess,
as he lines up this last shot.



He's got about yards left, and...



...looks like he's got an eight iron.



This crowd has gone deadly silent.
Cinderella story. Out of nowhere.



A former greenskeeper now about
to become the Master's champion.



It's in the hole!"

Subject: Groudhogs and Roses

Could you check your wildlife and plant naturalists/experts for me? As i think I mentioned, I saw a fox in mid-morning down by my shed. A few days later I noticed a hole under my shed in back. I assumed it was the fox's den.

Last week in mid-afternoon I saw a big fat groundhog out chewing on what's left of my spring flowers. Then a day or so later, a key branch with a full bud ready to open was chewed off my Mr. Lincoln rose. Irate, I went and poured a bucket of water into the hole. To my amazement , it didn't disappear down the hole right away, just slowly sunk in. I did a 2nd one, same result.

Yesterday, I noticed my rose plant back by other end of the pool had been eaten down to the base.

A). Do groundhogs eat plants like that? Are they herbiverous? What do they like best? I was thinking of borrowing/buying a large trap cage then take the ground hog to a State Park and release it there. But I'm not sure where to find one big enough. It's as big as a full-grown raccoon, but fatter.

Any ideas anyone has for encouraging this rascal to relocate?

My helpful response:

My only suggestion is to rent "Caddyshack". After watching that movie, I would never mess with those little varmints!

I just rewatched for the first time in about a year. I love Caddyshack but at this point in my life I may just be Caddyshacked out. I have seen it probably 40-50 times and know it by heart. Not a week goes by up in my office when either I or someone else quotes it. The movie has truly and genuinely crept into my life and my culture. The first few years of of the early SNLers move to the big screen (along with Ramis, Kenney and Brian Doyle Murray) produced some of the greatest comedies ever.

I just saw this recently and was laughing the whole time. It's been a while since I've seen it. I really need to buy it.

I started crying when the old man was going after the course record, walking up the hill while it was pouring rain lol the music, everything was perfect.

Carl on the Lama


[ QUOTE ]
So I jump ship in Hong Kong
and make my way over to Tibet...



...and I get on as a looper at a course
in the Himalayas.



A looper?



A looper. You know, a caddy, a looper...



...a jock.



So I tell them I'm a pro jock
and who do you think they give me?



The Dalai Lama, himself.



The th son of the Lama.



With flowing robes, grace, bald, striking.



I'm on the first tee with him.
I give him the driver.



He hauls off and whacks one.
Big hitter, the Lama. Long!



Into a foot crevice
right at the base of this glacier!



Do you know what the Lama says?



"Gunga galunga. Gunga gunga da gunga."



So we finish and he's going to stiff me.



And I say, "Hey, Lama!



"How about a little something,
you know, for the effort?"



And he says, "There won't be any money...



"...but when you die, on your deathbed...



"...you will receive total consciousness."



So I've got that going for me...
which is nice.

Interview with Cindy Morgan (Lacey Underall)

[ QUOTE ]
You dated one of the guys from Caddyshack.

Scott Colomby who played Tony D'Annunzio. He was one of the actors in it that I ended up seeing for a couple of years.

What's up w/ the early clip of Murray driving the lawnmower and stopping on the course to talk to Ty and Danny? I've only seen this clip once. All the TV movie versions leave this out. It's pretty funny from what I remember. I think Murray ends up borrowing a club and hitting a ball from the golfer behind them as a golf tip for Ty, lol.

Oh, and one of the funniest is this edited TV version I saw:
"Do you do Drugs Danny?"
"NOOO."
"Good."

I never found this film as appealing as everyone else has.

When I do watch it, I'm always shocked at how THIN everybody is. This country has gotten f-a-t.
