The big dummy ran out into the road, right in front of me. Luckily, I had noticed the furry critter and had almost come to a stop, expecting him to do just what he did.
He stopped in the middle of my lane....panting. I kid you not, panting. The poor little thing was completely worn out...and was still looking back at the golf course.
Mot and I had noticed there were a TON of gopher holes on the course, while we were out for a walk last week. I'm guessing this is one of the perpetrators. :-)
One of my father's favorite movies (and mine too) is Caddyshack. As I'm staring at the little rodent in the middle of the road, I can only imagine what horrors he was trying to escape.
Sandy: I want you to kill every gophers on the golf course!
Carl: Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key...
Sandy: Not golfers, you great fool! Gophers! The *little* *brown*, *furry* *rodents* -!
Carl: We can do that; we don't even have to have a reason. All right, let's do the same thing, but with gophers -!

A horse guy in New York used to pay my dad to sit in his pastures and "take out" the ground hogs. I am sure the holes were a danger to the horses. That was the year we learned the woodchuck song. Caddyshack is still a great movie. Did you ever see what or who the little guy was running from? Hear any explosions off in the distance?
Didn't see any pursuers, and definitely no explosions. I was secretly hoping to see a disheveled groundskeeper running towards us with a rake, but no such luck.
People further west in Nebraska pay people to take out the prairie dogs for the same reason. Those holes are hell on horses and cattle.
Now I will make you sad...I've never seen Caddyshack. I know. I'm a loser.
Oh, and your letter...is N, for Nej. ;) Let me know when it's up!
Never seen it, eh? I would say you don't know what you're missing...but everyone's movie opinions are so different. My luck, you'd watch it and then wonder what kind of crazy I am. (hehe) It's just a fun movie...elements of funny and idiotic all balled up together. :-)
Stupid gophers.
I just spent an hour laughing like a hyena at the cake wrecks blog. Thanks for that!
She's a hoot, isn't she?
Zibs - this particular gopher wasn't nearly as bright as the one in the movie, that's for sure.

I love that movie, despise all the sequels.
Cowguy, I agree. I can't even say that I've seen an entire sequel. It just seemed so damn wrong. There's no way they could be anywhere nearly as good.
