Why do you say “Kansas City drunk test”? Was it developed there, or just photographed there?

that movie was side splittingly funny. at one point, it hurt to laugh that much and it felt less like laughter, more like…seizure? the best thing was the comedic tension between zach galifianakis and ed helms. very different styles, but both hilarious in their own way.

Whatever happened to the “leather belt/sash” that old school cops would wear?

I’ve been waiting for Zack Galifianakis to have a role like the one in The Hangover. He was the best thing about a movie that would have been hilarious even if he hadn’t been in it.

Take it from Mr. Sprouts kids. If you end up driving home after that bottle of Carlo Rossi, proper attire is a must. Wet undershorts and a sombrero will not cut it. “The Man” will take notice.

I can guarantee that it was staged, or atleast that the police station knew the photographer was going to be there et cetera.

Anyhow…

I have a friend who has passed the field sobriety tests drunk, and got a DWI when he’d had like A beer.

It was a sad day for his record, but I chuckled upon hearing the story.

I would love to know the backstory for this guy’s night. Also I wonder if the photographer actually hung around the police station waiting for a drunk, or if it was staged…

I don’t mind ACL’s Life archive postings because he finds the good stuff most of the time.

Do go see The Hangover.
