The long fffff counterpointed by the sharp k, and then the innnggggg, which you can kind of accentuate and drag out.

Fffu CK! Ing idiots out there today.

Caddyshack is a similar story where the quality of the film has been downgraded by the crap that is produced today.

LC and I saw The Dictator in the theaters though and that was damn funny,it seems that not many comedies are able to actually crack a joke, sucks. SNL has the same issue, I watch that once in a while when I've stayed up to late wondering what is the goal and how these people have jobs.

this happens a lot with comedies imo.

Often if people seemed to have a idea of the car but not the price guys would start 2K higher than what the dealer was asking and then the "bargin" buyer would think they pulled one over which, clearly, wasn't even close to the case.

When I bought LC her car she was very specific as to what she wanted and it took us a few months to find the "one". When we were doing the deal the sales guy was getting annoyed as I wasn't budging and when I stepped up to have a break he tried to put the screws to her. She said something like "I don't want this car and am not going to be able to help you" which quickly finished any hope they had of getting us to pay more. She's a smart cookie and when we talk about the deal both of us laugh at the memory.
