David Letterman’s Very First Top-Ten List, 29 Years Ago
In case you’ve been in a cave, Dave is retiring, in 2015-ish. I’ve bought a few Late Night/Show Top Ten compilations over the years, and I never realized that this was, really, the first one.

A Random Clip from Caddyshack 2
I’m only posting this because I think the phrase, “Very subtle, Mrs. Esterhouse.” is in this clip. But I can’t remember. And I can’t listen to the clip right now. So, you can watch this ‘meh’ clip from an awful movie if you want.
Background: Having HBO as a kid, and watching whatever HBO had to offer, when Caddyshack 2 played for a summer, seemingly 20 times a week, I watched it an awful lotta times. And I would occasionally use phrases from the movies in conversations with my brother, like, “Very subtle, Mrs. Esterhouse.”, or “Clear your mind. Think of nothing. Be…the ball. Nanananaaaa….”.
