As noted in Celebritology this morning, Randy Quaid and his wife Evi are in trouble with the law again. The couple currently faces burglary charges for allegedly living in a guest house on a property in Montecito, Calif. The actor and his wife say they have owned the property since the 1990s, but documents indicate that it is currently owned by someone else, who bought the house from the person who bought it from the Quaids. In other words, Cousin Eddie and his spouse sold the place a long time ago, but seem to have forgotten.
This is hardly the first example of sadly strange behavior from the brother and sister-in-law of Dennis Quaid. Need a memory refresher on what preceded this event? Here's a timeline, which includes information about a recently filed lawsuit that could explain why the Quaids believe that guest house is rightfully theirs.
July, 1983: Quaid stars as the clueless, money-troubled Cousin Eddie in "National Lampoon's Vacation," a role he would reprise a few years later in "Christmas Vacation." Despite the obvious parallels, this was just an acting gig. Quaid's real life wouldn't start to vaguely mirror Eddie's for another two decades.

A drug called Russell Crowe!
Part of it sounds as if the Quaids got used to a lifestyle that they couldn't continue to support because he wasn't getting well-paid acting roles any longer.
It sounds as though part of not getting well-paid acting roles was that he developed a reputation for being verbally and physically abusive to other actors . . . which sounds like a mental problem or drugs. Normal people don't show up at a court hearing with an Emmy as their witness.
Part of it sounds as if he had some business deals that went south . . . and whether his advisors took advantage of him, I don't know.
Eddie is a close 2nd.
“I don’t know why they call this stuff Hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself”
So in other words, real-life Randy Quaid isn’t all that different from Cousin Eddie after all...
Wow. Sounds like both he and his wife are batsh*t nuts.
I dunno. How much of the drugs would you have to take to make her go away? Depending on the substance it could be worth it!
