So, has anyone identified exactly what drug it is that The Quaids are smoking? Inquiring mings want to know just what it is that has these two so out of touch with reality.

National Lampoon’s actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were arrested on felony burglary charges in Santa Barbara on Saturday after they were found squatting in a home they sold more than a decade ago.

The Quaids were handcuffed and taken into custody on residential burglary charges at a Montecito, California home after a representative of the property’s owner called police Saturday afternoon to report that someone was living there illegally.

When deputies arrived at the house that evening, they found Randy and Evi Quaid, who said they had owned the property since the 1990s, according to The Associated Press. The property owner’s representative provided documents that showed his client had bought the home in 2007 from a man who had purchased it from The Quaids several years earlier. A contractor showed police more than $5,000 in damages to the guest house that he believed was caused by the Quaids.

The kooky couple was promptly taken into custody.

In addition to felony residential burglary, Randy, 59, and Evi, 47, have also been slapped with a charge of entering a noncommercial building without consent, a misdemeanor, and resisting arrest.

Bail is set at $50,000 each.

In Sept. 2009, The Quaids were charged with defrauding an innkeeper of more than $10,000 as well as conspiracy and burglary after an invalid credit card was used at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito. Felony charges were later dropped against Randy. Earlier this year, Evi pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of defrauding an innkeeper. She was sentenced to three years’ probation and ordered to perform 240 hours of community service.
