Come on guys...you love the movie.  I can't explain it.  My wife asks why I think Caddy Shack is so cool.  I didn't like it when I was a little boy, but when I could understand the humor, I went crazy for it.  "What does that sign say?.....no bare feet.....What does THAT sign say......no fighting.....well, then, what does it mean....no fighting....you owe me one gum ball machine".  What a bunch of ridiculous lines.  But, they were timeless.  I took a screen shot of that sign and had it replicated.  Yes, it was copy-write whatever.  But, they sold like hot cakes on eBay.  Here's the screen shot and a photo of the tin sign that I had made. 

The Day before I got married in 2000 I put together a speech for my Dad at the grooms dinner.  I spend about a week writing and re-writing a tribute to my father, Al.  I have always been so proud of Dad and wanted to do a public eulogy-like speech on his accomplishments.  When the night came, we were at the Chart House in Lakeville and there was no privacy.  It was loud, we were mixed in with the public and a band was playing.  I didn't give the speech.  Later that evening I approached him and told him what happened.  I gave him my notes.  He told me he had written a dedication to me and was unable to give it.  I got those notes.  Later on, after reading my dedication he told me his only prayer was for me to have a child that would write a speech about me, like that, some day.  I've attached the speech here.
