Emmy Award-winning hair groomer Rip Torn recently had some issues with the non-level Connecticut ground.
Yes, he is torn. Fortunately for all of us, unlike Ms. Imbruglia, he is not “lying naked on the floor.”
(If you stare at this photo for 30 seconds, you should be able to burn away the residual Rip Torn image retained by your retinas.)
Unrelated bonus link: I recently did an interview for Paste Magazine, the very same magazine that named Zooey “Happening” Deschanel’s latest, Album of the Year.
**Update**
I’ve heard some complaints that Ms. Imbruglia’s image was insufficient at erasing the Rip Torn-induced optical damage, so I have included this soothing balm, a picture of Rip Taylor.

So, were you actively seeking out Rip Torn updates, or just really curious about what was happening up Winnipeg way?

“Lying naked on the floor”……ugh.
Damn you! Now I must go poke out my minds eye!

First Bill with Nick Nolte, now you with Rip Torn.
Who’s Kevin gonna choose? Gary Busey?

I just want to know more about the Christmas tree on Mr. Torn’s car. Did it belong to Mr. Torn? Or was he in the middle of “stealing Chirstmas”? I see another Grinch remake in his future.

Zooey’s album isn’t all that bad. I can’t imagine calling it the best album of the year, but it’s better than I was expecting.

Mike, I couldn’t help but notice in that interview you said you didn’t really miss the sci-fi aspect of your Riffing career.
But you at least miss Crow and Tom don’t you?……don’t you?

I actually didn’t think that image of Ms. Imbruglia helped with the Rip Torn image at all.
That twitchy eye of hers gave hint of mischevious intent…..

Mike, first the picture of Rip Torn, then just trying to get us to forgive you with the picture of Ms. Imbruglia (and failing miserably), then posting a picture of Rip Taylor.
This means one thing: Mike, you are a sick jerk. (In the interest of keeping the blog family friendly, I decided to go with “jerk”)

If you stare at Rip Taylor’s shirt and cross your eyes just right, you can see a 3D image of the Space Shuttle being attacked by a Space Kraken.

Huh. So that’s why I should really stop confusing Rip Torn with Rip Taylor so much. Because they are in fact NOT the same person.
Knowledge is Power! Thank you, Rifftrax Blog!

Clearly the Christmas tree was in no condition to drive, so Mr. Torn did what he thought was best and never dreamed that Connecticut could be so hateful towards the “differently sober” or “sobriety impaired” communities.
I, for one, enjoyed the soothing Rip Taylor picture as Mr. Taylor is one of the few people who stand by their belief that most conversations could really benefit from with just a little confetti thrown around for emphasis.

Really? I see a flock of roller skating chickens …they should put their helmets on though…they could get hurt.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY IDEAS!

That picture of Rip Torn reminds me, whatever happened to Kevins look-a-like, or, look-a-different, competition?
16 Wesley Stamper on Jan 8, 2009 at 4:59 pm
I don’t know, but I *did* learn today that Kevin spends 90% of his time pantsless, playing with his Trackball.
I wonder if those aren’t sufficient revelations for the nonce?
17 Nick Fechter on Jan 8, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Both of you are crazy! You can obviously make out the skull that The Punisher wears on Rip Taylor’s shirt.
I mean come on! That was a given!

Zed looks dead… umm… baby?!
19 Mr. Alexander on Jan 8, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Is it me, or does Rip Taylor look like the bastard spawn of Wilford Brimley and Clay Aiken? Or maybe just a metrosexual William Howard Taft…
20 Ben on Jan 9, 2009 at 5:08 am
Hmm…Rip Torn…I asked myself then…whatever happened to Dash Riprock, star from the Flintstones and the Beverly Hillbillies? Apparently, he formed a band…http://www.dashriprock.net/

At first I thought she was “naked on the floor” because it too wasn’t level and she slipped. Thus the common theme of falling prey to uneven surfaces. But then I remembered that I once suffered the same indignity and later found out my sac was torn.
22 AJ on Jan 9, 2009 at 11:19 am
You just don’t care if I never sleep again….do you???

Thanks for the shout-out, Mike! Thanks also for doing the interview with Sean. Appreciation all around. Keep up the good work, keep destroying our minds with photos, etc.

Rip Taylor is the source of one of my favorite lines: “LAUGH! IT’S FUNNY!” (which he’d scream at someone who didn’t seem to get one of his jokes).
As someone who lives his life trying to make jokes that only I get, that line has served me well.

Rip Torn changed his name from Split Shredded. Good career move.

Actually, the She & Him album is a fine piece of work. A pleasant, unpretentious little collection of songs.
