Actor Dennis Farina, best known for his tough-guy roles on TV's Law & Order and in movies like Midnight Run and Get Shorty*, was recently nailed with three misdemeanor weapons charges after trying to board a plane with a loaded gun last month.
Unlike other celebs who blame all their problems on other people, Farina said, "It is my own stupidity to find myself in this embarrassing situation." However, he quickly followed that up by turning to the arresting officer and shouting, "Fuck you, fuckball!" Then he shot everyone.
Dang. There really should be a Dennis Farina soundboard somewhere on the Internetz.
*He was also in that really awful movie, Striking Distance, with Bruce Willis and Sarah Jessica Parker. It only deserves mention because, not only was it filmed in Pittsburgh, but in the scene where Bruce and John Mahoney are driving in their squad car, they pass my Dad's house. Of course, right as they get to it, the camera is filming the front of the car, so you actually only see the hedges. But they're our hedges.

A Cleveland-Pittsburgh alliance...
I just figured out with this post, that you are from the Steel City. Damned Red Wings.
I hope that didn't come off sounding too wrong, or anything. Eh?
"Sidney, sit down. Relax. Have a sandwich. Drink a glass of milk. Do some fucking thing."
And yet I will always remember one thing above all else from him: the line you cited.
"Fuck you, fuckball!"
So, you owe me a new computer.
Mike - My hedges have more personality than Bruce Willis, for sure.
Pistols - Yeah, it's always best to kill the wife at home, and then go on a vacation.
Red - In some cases, both.
Suze - Yeah, but I used to come home from work and see the crew filming right down the street from my house, with a crowd standing around watching. I always thought, "hey maybe I'll go down there and check things out," but once I got home I just changed into grubby clothes and vegged out.
Grant - I think that story said he was a former cop. I guess he never turned in his gun.
Evil-E - I don't really follow hockey anymore. I used to, but I just can't be bothered. Just waiting for football season to start up again.
Dale - You so punny.
Dodger - I always take a gun when I fly, in case I see a monster on the wing trying to mess with the engines.
BAP - No. You didn't say anything about my bush so it's okay.
Sheesh, I keep forgetting how young you are. I have to be better.
HV - Ain't it cool?
Fran - Um, hello. Same movie, Joey Pants. Joey comes pretty close where cursing is concerned. Show some respect for my adopted F-bomber.
David - It's a fantastic line.
Some Guy - Raspberry Crystal Light?? What are you, a girl?? If Dennis Farina were here, he'd have plenty to say about that.
CDP - Oh, I love that movie! That's so much more awesome than "Within Striking Distance of Tired Clichés."
Cube - But I think he was a former cop. See earlier comment.
I am still marvelling - almost dancing - and trust me I was in a super crap ass mood when I got here - I am alight with "fuck you fuckball."
My day is so made.
