I love Bill Murray. Let him do whatever he wants. LOL.

[AnnaZ]

Heard ol' Bill Murray was not a very nice human being to the "little" people... but that was via gossip articles over the years. Not sure is 100% true... I tend to believe about 1/4 of it.

As someone who has met and spent time with the man, your gossip, in my experience, is 100% incorrect. Bill Murray is humble, kind, and generous.

[AnnaZ]

He doesn’t take himself so seriously that he won’t talk to the great unwashed and is known to be a great tipper (which to those of in the restaurant business says a lot about what kind of person he is).

Completely accurate.

[Recovering_Democrat]

She thinks like she's drunk.

[mgstarr]

I like him and don’t give a d@mn what his politics are.

I believe in the philosophical basis for not self-incriminating with a breath test.

Guess that makes me a libertarian.

Oh ya, I also like Lost in Translation.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

you wouldn’t believe it if i told you.

[dfwgator]

Looks like it was “Suntory Time” for Bill in Sweden.

“Is that a golf crying towel?”

There’s no crying in golf!

[relictele]

Best golf movie definitely.

I’d have to slot it behind Animal House and perhaps Dumb & Dumber for sheer comedy value but if you play a lot of golf like I do then Caddyshack is unavoidable.

[relictele]

Er, you do realize that’s a Par Aide ball washer and not a beer keg?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Amen - I can't believe so many clowns here dumping on him for this - he was in a golf cart for the love of God - that's like the mini-van of Rascals...

[AnnaZ]

LOL. Exactly. With a top speed of 15mph, he was a real threat, I'm sure.

Run, Bill, run! LOL.

How many people drive golf carts sober????

[cubswinby100]

More standing up for the drunk drivers.

Of course people with even an ounce of decency don’t drive when you drink. Only pieces of crap do.

What kind of murder is your favorite since you think killing while driving drunk is okay?

[cubswinby100]

What is it like to be friends with someone who would beat a child for money and is responsible for deaths for money?

[-YYZ-]

“Driving a golf cart while mildly intoxicated isn’t the same as driving a sports car while drunk. Standard golf carts have a top speed of 15 mph.”

Doesn’t matter. If your driving it on the roads you’re operating a motor vehicle, and if you’re over the limit you’re over it. That may not make a whole lot of sense, but why would you expect Swedish drunk driving laws to be any more reasonable than those in the US or Canada? Blow .10 or .30, the law doesn’t care - it’s all the same to them. Bicyle or 18-wheeler - again the law doesn’t see any difference. These are just a couple of the reasons that I find our DUI laws to be ridiculous, but like I say, why would expect Swedish laws to be any more sensible?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

People killed by golf carts are probably only in the way since they were already blinded by paper airplanes and/or snow balls.

I met Bill Murray many times at Cubs and Bears games. He is very nice, signs autographs, buys food and beverages (both pepsi and beer) and has a grand old time.

He has it in every contract of anything set to shoot in October a week off if the Cubs are in the world series. Of course it’s something the other people think they won’t have to grant.
