Beginning to believe his own scripts, and trying to play the parts in real life!

"None of these documents belong to me. They're all legitimate papers and stuff from a passenger that was in the car. It had nothing to do with me."

Okay, who is he giving a ride to that carries around 8 billion dollars worth of paper? Why would anyone just leave this laying around in someone elses car..."Oops, silly me, I left 8 frigging BILLION dollars in Don's car when we went out picking up hookers last night!" Doesn't pass the smell test.

Zooming in over the water, jai alai, flamingos, and bouncing D-cups. I remember!

Sounds like Don confused his old character with his real persona and got involved in something fishy.

When a German border guard asks for your papers, he means business.

OK - the really funny thing is that I clicked on this thread and started reading the article. Guess which song starts playing about 15 seconds later? Smugglers Blues!

I have Winamp set to play in random order, and have 1,100 songs on the list, and of all the possible songs to play, it plays this one. WHAT ARE THE ODDS????

Though, if it had played Don Johnson's recording of "Heartbeat" (I do actually have it), I would have had a heart attack!

That theme music -- having become so well-known as to become a cliche -- remains one of my guilty pleasures.

Ever listen to Jan Hammer live with Jeff Beck? Good stuff.

Kinda sad to see him 20 years older, 50 pounds heavier than when he was on top of his game...and stuck laudering paper for God-knows who.

Screen Actors Guild Bagman that month. This is being done each month by Hollywood. Clinton gave them royalty status including IRS protection. If our IRS does not follow up on this, fire Rosotti and arrest him too.

Interesting.

Is he pro-Iraq or anti-Iraq?

Is he sending payment to the German manufacturer for parts that Saddam ordered?

This guy's in deep. Good.
