Topic: Officially Done-To-Death Themes, Part XIV: Caddyshack

This is Judge Smales speaking. I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

Also, the next team bringing a Caddyshack-themed car to a Lemons race is going to be issued spray paint and an order to re-theme on the spot. This theme has been outlawed as of today!

The first Lemons Caddyshack theme was this Golf (get it?) at the Buttonwillow Histrionics. We liked the "NO SPITTING/NO GAMBLING"  sign on the hood, the "Gunga La Gunga" slogan on the bumper was cool, and the team members actually referred to the Lemons Supreme Court members as "Judge Smales." Funny the first time.

Then we saw this Caddyshack-themed RX-7 at the Southern Discomfort race. They had the dancing gopher, but couldn't figure out how to make it operate while the car was running (happily, the gopher took a paintball round to the face when one of the drivers blew off a bunch of black flags). We grumbled when we saw a non-Golf Caddyshack theme, but didn't penalize the team for it.

What the hell is this? An E30 with a Caddyshack theme? Only the fact that the team showed up with a couple of ladies in vaguely golfing-influenced outfits engineered by Anna aka Bikini Racer spared this car from the application of a gallon of Battleship Gray floor paint.

But that's it! No more goddamn Caddyshack themes! Yeah, we know Astroturf, stuffed gophers, and golf clubs are cheap, but the Lemons Supreme Court has spoken! If you must have a movie-themed Lemons car, I recommend going with something by Cassavetes.

That will be covered in a future installment of the Done To Death Themes series.

what about a columbo episode with cassavetes in it:

"Étude in Black" (9/17/72)
    John Cassavetes is Alex Benedict, the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Benedict is having an affair with Jennifer Welles (Anjanette Comer). When Jennifer insists on "outing" their relationship, Benedict devises a clever plan to murder her and make it look like a suicide. Columbo pesters the maestro with questions as he searches for clues to place Benedict at the murder scene. Blythe Danner guests as the jilted wife. Steven Bochco wrote this episode. Nicholas Colasanto (Coach on Cheers) has the director's credit.

i guess you'd have to have a peugeot 403 to do it though

What if Bill Murray (in the real) brought an e-30-turned-golfcart to a race - and he and the entire crew wore the ugliest baggy plaid golf-shorts and spat-topped shoes they could find?
Oh, and everyone had gopher-head cover-ups for their helmets?
~probably still plaid out...

I work on a golf course and work on our car here. When I did our liveries, every employee to see the car scoffed at it and demanded a caddy shack theme. (rolleyes)

I don't think right hand drive rollers need themes.

That's what I was thinking... would a Rolls or Rolls-ified entry be the only exception to the no Caddyshack rule?  We could blare Journey out of the stereo while dancing awkwardly in loud patterned pants?  And bring an Asian guy...
