"Moose out front should have told you"

By Chip Hanlon | September 18, 2008 | 7:46 PM | 3 Comments

Think Lehman's feeling a little like Clark Griswold right about now?

They fought as long as they could, finally declared bankruptcy, then found out less than a week later that a new RTC-like structure was going to be established to buy bad paper from all these banks?!

"Sorry folks, park's closed. Moose out front should have told you."

Yeah...pretty sure Lehman feels like it's staring into the face of John Candy right about now, and he's delivering the bad news (for them, anyway) from Wally World (Hank Paulson). They say timing is everything, but this is rough.

Could I do you back, honey? Already have done my back. Can I do your front? Go do your own front.

Roy; can I call you Roy? Have you even driven your whole family cross-country?

Oh, hell yes. Once I drove all of them to Florida. The smell coming out of the back seat was terrible.

I know that smell, Roy; but what if you had driven all that way and Florida was closed?

Closed? Uh, they don't close Florida.

I got laid off when they closed that asbestos factory, and wouldn't you know it, the army cuts my disability pension because they said that the plate in my head wasn't big enough.

Hands down in the top 5 movies of all time! Great post Hollywood Hanlon.

Classic post. For my entertainment dollar absolutely one of the most well-written comedies of all time. The whole movie was funny.

Good to have you back RTH. Congrats on your son.
