Though many of us have gotten pretty loaded in the past, maybe even so loaded we peed the bed and then blamed it on our girlfriends, chances are we never got sh*tcanned and ended up in bank with a loaded gun like Rip Torn. Who’s 78. The only way this story could be more awesome is if he’d tried to get away on a velociraptor.
The veteran actor Rip Torn, 78, was arrested in Connecticut on Saturday after police found him “highly intoxicated” and with a loaded revolver inside the Litchfield Bank in Salisbury, where the actor lives, Reuters reported. Mr. Torn, who has had a few run-ins with the police over drunken driving in recent years that resulted in fines, a license suspension or probation, was held on $100,000 bond. [NY Times]
I think Rip Torn, Nick Nolte, Gary Busey, and Lou Dobbs should have a show that’s exactly like The View, except all they do is get wasted and complain about different ethnic groups. The Bleary View, they could call it. And maybe every now and then, they could throw a few wild animals and/or weapons in the studio with them. I would literally kill to see that.

The craziest thing He has ever done while drunk/high? Beat Tick Tock Clock on Mario 64 for His 120th star!
Look at it this way, Rip made a great satanic cult leader in “Beastmaster”. TONYA ROBERTS DRIPPING WET NUDE NAKED UPSKIRT PICS

Mel Gibson is offended that you didn’t include him in that group
Rip Torn immediately went back to his lab to work on his next set of novelty bank deposit slips, it’s four red sticks taped together to a ticking clock with some random wires sticking out.
GBHAIDS – he’s going to be the Barbara Walters of the show; in when he has nothing better to do, mixes it up a little and then disappears when things get a little ‘heated’.
What they didn’t report is he had his memory wiping device out muttering “You didn’t see me…you didn’t see me” But sadly it was only a vibrator.
Someone tell me, because I don’t know: Should I have waited until now to make the Drunk Wonder Woman jokes? Because let me tell you — the geek audience DID NOT FIND IT FUNNY.
Gary Busey tried to mend Rip Torn.
“Rip Torn” sounds like my Saturday night.
Add Stuart Townsend in this clusterfuck. The guy is Irish, he’s just been fired from his job and he’s just been fired by Charlize Theron.
Meanwhile, Rip Taylor got away with $75,000 cash when he walked into a bank and threatened to throw a bag of confetti at her if she didn’t meet his demands.
her = the bank teller.
me fail english?
Gahh, fucking CT. He didn’t say “This is a stick up” he said “Why you so stuck up?” and just happened to be waving his gun around. Sheesh.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge bail.
One of the awesome side effects is googling Rip Torn and finding small town news papers who are confusing him with Rip Taylor.
Rip Torn sounds like Batman sound effect call-outs for Nick Nolte’s prison rape.
Rip! Torn!
Come on, Rip. We’re not hosting an intergalactic kegger down here.
Rip Torn thought the loaded revolver helped erase memories.
Rip looks Torn up.
Hmm. According to the NY Times it appears Mr. Torn was correct, he does live in the bank.
