I assume he'd been drinking light beer: Thomas Kinkade DUI

Link

Phooey. I’d love it if he’d resisted arrest.

Props for the thread title. :slight_smile:

I thought he was the urinator of light, not beer.

Oh man, check out the mugshot from another article. I expected a much older guy, and not one with an overgrown soul patch. (Chin patch?)

Yes. Bravo.

So what’s his BAL when he’s painting?

Yep.

One of the best ever.

Oh, these comments are just silly. You can’t get drunk off light beer.

It works on at least two levels.

Although I can attest that you can collapse from the effort of trying.

Just yesterday, I was wondering if Kinkade lived in the Monterey area. My mom was telling me that during her trip there a couple of weeks back, she found the Thomas Kinkade National Archive and about died.

The manager of The Partridge Family got arrested?

Oh wait, that’s Reuben Kincaid.

Should I be embarrassed that I didn’t know who Thomas Kinkade was and I had to look him up?

“Thankful,” I think, would be more apt.

No more embarrassed than I was when I first encountered his work several years ago.

Knowing absolutely nothing about what is currently trendy in the aggressively marketed faux arts world, I saw something he did and thought “Wow, that’s pretty cool!”

Then when I became aware of the extent to which the unwashed masses had embraced him, I felt foolish.

He’s certainly had reason to drown his sorrows lately.

It made my day.

But it is probably better suited to Cafe Society, so I’ll move it there from MPSIMS.

It looks like he’s definitely had some work done.
Anyway the comments on that story are pretty funny.

“This one’s for you, Walt” <uurp>

Placerville, CA, about 150 miles north.
Me, I’m hoping this brings him into a “dark” period, where he starts painting himself into his paintings holding a bottle and giving everyone the finger.

Hence the suspicion of “misdemeanor” drunk driving.
