yeah, I think about the only person who would drive around Stockholme drunk with a golf card is Bill Murray

[thrill]

Bill Murray is awesome. So wise to use a golf cart instead of a car.

this may be the best part:

"He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation,"

that's awesome. He's driving a golf cart down the street in Norway and tells him he doesn't have to do what they want because of some American legislation (that he probably made up).

My gosh, Steve Stone looks so young in that first one. Is that from the 80's?

Murray refuses breath test in Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law.

Police officers spotted the "Caddyshack" star early Monday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.

"He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation," Holmlund told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "So we applied the old method — a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in."

Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.

"Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America," Holmlund said.

He said the 56-year-old actor-comedian would only be charged if tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, which is quite low in Sweden.

A very high alcohol level could lead to a prison sentence, but Holmlund said fines were more likely.

"There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really tipsy," he said.

The golf cart had been on display for a week outside the downtown hotel where Murray and other VIPs attending the Scandinavian Masters golf tournament, were staying, tournament head Fredrik Nilsmark said.

Murray apparently drove the golf cart to the trendy Cafe Opera nightclub, less than a mile away, and was pulled over on his way back to the hotel.

Nilsmark said the vehicle wasn't intended for guests but added: "I don't hold any grudge against Bill Murray for borrowing our cart for a while."

Cafe Opera manager Daniel Bodahl confirmed that Murray had visited the nightclub late Sunday and said "he was a very good guest."

It isn't illegal to drive a golf cart in city traffic in Sweden, but Holmlund said it is very unusual.

"I have done this since '68 and I've never experienced anything like this," he said.

Murray was among the cast members on NBC's "Saturday Night Live." He was nominated for an Oscar for 2003's "Lost in Translation." His screen credits also include "Groundhog Day" and "Rushmore."

Is he a Cardinal fan? (low blow)

"He was in Sweden. Not Norway.
They aren't the same place.
What's the difference, you ask?
Oh, I don't know. Culture...,
looks..., names..., history..., food...
And if you're wondering if Norwegians
get offended if you get them
confused with Swedes, I don't know...
Why don't you ask a Norwegian?"



... Oh and sorry for the double post
