    Funny you bring up those other flicks. The usual response I get when referencing older movies like those is a blank stare from anyone under 40.

    ...and then there's Blazing Saddles...

    Way O/T, but when I was with the FDIC, I squashed a loan modification from a key character in Top Gun. Also oversaw a loan from a former NBA player that ran into big problems. Interesting times, not unlike what you may have seen in "The Big Short."

        I thought it was a reference to George Raveling, Pepperdine's Bill Sadler, and Omar the Tentmaker.

          The dude from Dunder Mifflin deserved an Oscar for his performance as Mark Baum...and I've only seen a few episodes of The Office.
