Maybe he and Evi are starring in a Ben Affleck documentary about two crazy former actors. ---

So Randy is applying for refugee status up here because he thinks ā€œstar whackersā€ are out to get him. Itā€™s a good thing he came to Canada. Thereā€™s no way star whackers could just get on a flight from LAX to YVR. That would never happen. And thereā€™s no film industry up here so no reason for anyone from Hollywood to be flying to Vancouver (if they even could) at any given time. Also, most Americans cannot speak authentic Canadian. They think they can just tack ā€œehā€ onto the end of every sentence, ask what itā€™s all aboot, eat some poutine and blend right in. But they stand out like sore thumbs for the overenthusiastic way they embody these stereotypes. So Randy is safe from star whackers because weā€™ll recognize them and turn them back at the border. Do you know what it would take to fool a Canadian border guard? Youā€™d have to be someone who pretends to be other people for a living. Now I know thereā€™s no one like that in LA. Great move Randy. Youā€™re likeā€¦ three steps ahead of these star whackers. Theyā€™ll never catch up to you at this rate. ---

> [@Captain\_Midnight](#): > > ā€¦I would also like to ask all people who are about to have a child to not to name the kid Randy. Randys get into trouble. Randy is your dope dealer.

After an early life of petty crime, some borderline-retarded Randys even turn out to be pretty good guys: [http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/attachment.php?attachmentid=7235&d=1149093479](http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/attachment.php?attachmentid=7235&d=1149093479) ---

In the event of star whackers Iā€™d think thereā€™d be few places safer than next to Randy Quaid. Heā€™s well known but before his recent insanity-legal troubles I doubt he ever had much of a problem with paparazzi. ---

I think that Andy Dick is still free range, which must have the trannie bars in Des Moines on notice.

If he decides to pull a Quaid it could start our first major blood feud with Canada in almost 200 years as we fight for custody, each nation insisting the other should keep him. ---

Canada? That never had a chance of succeeding. They should have tried asking North Korea or Myanmar for asylum. Or Iran. ---

Has anyone explained why Dennis actually looks like a movie star, while Randy looks like an inbred caveman? That seems sort of an oddity to me, however, I did know a brother and sister where the brother was a woman magnet while his poor sister was extremely 400 lb woman with very little looks in the first place. The CNN story misspelled the word asylum as assylum, with the two asses above it. I hope John Goodman is never found out to be a prick. I love that guy. ---

Genetics is the universeā€™s ultimate crap shoot. We all know people who have children uglier or better looking than their looks would suggest. Obviously, Dennis got the good looking genes, while Randy looks like a genetic throwback. ---
