Rip Does It Again!
That Rip Torn just likes a little warm booze in his system while he goes Christmas tree shopping, but unfortunately Rip took the party behind the wheel. Picture this: 77-year-old Rip was humming along, driving in the breakdown lane on Route 44 in Connecticut with a Christmas tree tied to the roof of his Subaru! I'm hoping there was a sneaky forest animal with a digital camera, because that picture would make a beautiful holiday image. Hallmark would sell the fuck out of that shit.
Rip's holiday fun times came to an end when he was pulled over by the cops. Don't you just hate it when the police kill your buzz? E! News reports that the pepaw refused to do a sobriety test, because he said the ground wasn't level. HA! I can hear him screaming, "The ground is moving! That's not fair! It's not right because the ground is moving up, down, back and forth! It's like a wave!"
Rip was also driving without a license, because he lost his in 2007 after pleaded guilty to another DUI (that's where the magical mug shot above is from).
Rip was charged with illegal operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence and failure to drive in the proper lane. He pleaded not guilty (because the ground was moving!) and is due back in court on January 28.
This is Pepaw Rip's third DUI in the past five years.
I think it's time Pepaw Rip keeps the good times at home where the floor doesn't constantly move and the Werther's Originals are a'flowin!
And I've got the sads, because we don't have a new mug shot from Rip. I'm guessing it looks just like the one above, but he's wearing a jolly Santey Claus hat instead!
Rip definitely has given a new meaning to the term "liquid diet"...Those deep wrinkles are the dead giveaway for chronic alcoholism...not to play Dr. Drew here, but alot of the physical similarities you see with alcoholics are due to malnutrition and dehydration...i wouldn't doubt that he may be sneaking up on some serious permanent memory loss too...google wernicke-korsakoff syndrome and i think you'll see Rip's pic
Jeez... you just know everyone in the whole fucking world wants to be the first to say, "RIP Rip"... and he's lookin' pretty close here. Sad, in a way, the guys a great actor. Hey ~ Thanks Rip! And, good luck!

AIIEEE what is wrong with his right eye? It looks like the pirate with the wooden eyeball in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.

Grow up already.
Time for AA and a specialist for that eye, Rip!
Such a fine actor, loved him in Sweet Bird of Youth. In the movie version his character punched Paul Newman's in the face but in the play, he castrated him. I guess they couldn't show that in 1958.
He was married to the class and talent that was Geraldine Page! And he's a cousin of Sissy Spacek. I guess talent comes with angst.

lelu: Yes, a Subaru -- they're de rigeur in northwestern Connecticut.
It looks to me like he has a cataract in one eye...and if he has had 3 DUI's he should get some court ordered rehab,he obviously has a problem.
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Hold up....a Subaru?

Serious question: Why do a lot of these older alcoholics have at least one eye pertruding and bugging out? I've noticed it on many long term alkies. What is it that makes alcohol do that? Any medies here?
***********************************
I don't know if it's medical - I thought it was from constantly closing one eye so they can see straight;p

Why did the alcohol only screw with one eye and eyebrow? Did he not drink enough to mess up both eyes?

That mugshot is terrifying! WTF is wrong with his eye?!
Also, why would you want to have a name where your middle initial should be "A" and your last name should be "Fart". I mean, you know someone has pointed that out to him at some point in his life!

I hate to point this out, but Rip still ain't nothing on Nick Nolte.

That guy must be a blast at a party, and when he takes out that fucked up eye and sends all the kiddies running from the room screaming, priceless
Go to rehab already, Rip. You keep getting caught driving drunk. You suck as an alcoholic. Professional drunks don't get caught. They stay the eff HOME and booze it up.
This reminds me, you guys know there's a new vaccine for alcoholics, you take the shot for nine days and it's supposed to make you really sick everytime you drink????? interesting.....i wonder how many wives will give it their husbands in their sleep.....

Child? Fucking grown-man poo. Your anus will be in grown-man shambles.
I prefer to remember Rip as Artie on The Larry Sanders Show, and Agent Zed in Men in Black.
Surely he's made enough in his long career to hire a driver or call a cab.

At 77, little Rippy just might get his license pulled for being old and stupid. That right eye looks like it has a bad cataracs. How the hell could he see?

I think Rip can say adios to his license.
For good.
Dude! Designate!!

... so I threw my breasts out of the window of my Lamborghini!
I live near Route 44 in Connecticut. This is the first I heard of this.
Apparently, someone's having an intergalactic kegger down here, eh Rip ?
Also, he needs his eyes examined. They look rheumy and cataract-y or something. Something tells me he doesn't see all that well.
Keep the good times on a skilift where they belong.
