A picture named caddyshack[1].jpg

caddyshack

Tonight I washed the dishes while watching Caddyshack.

Actually, I couldn't really watch the movie until I got to the drying part.  Then I would take a dish or a cup and go into the living room and kinda walk a lap or two in there while dying off the whatever and watching thirty seconds worth of classic 1980 allstar movie funniness.  Then I would go back and get another cup or dish and walk another couple of laps, etc.

When I watched Caddyshack as a kid, the teenagers in the movie were a lot older than me.  I didn't really get the sex parts, or a lot of the jokes.  Now I realize how much of the movie is making fun of WASP culture.  It was probably written and produced by jews.

What's pretty weird is that now, not only am I a lot older than the teenager actors, but I think I'm older than Chevy Chase and Bill Murray were at the time.  They look right around thrity.  I'm thirty-four.

(I also noticed that back in 1980 you could still have ordinary human colored teeth in a movie, instead of titanium white Paris Hilton teeth; and not all actresses had tits or tit implants).

Anyway, the movie climaxes with Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase (who represent the cool people of their respective generations) winning the $80,000 golf bet, just as Bill Murray blows up the golf course trying to kill the gofer.

I actually got a little choked up.

Tomorrow I go to Atlanta to do the big billboard project.
