Web Schpiel: Shorter And Less Amusing Real-life Version Of Weekend at Bernie's

Denver prosecutors have charged two men with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation after a shorter, boozier, less amusing real-life version of the film Weekend at Bernie's.

Court papers say Robert Jeffrey Young, 43, and Mark Rubinson, 25, loaded Jeffrey Jarrett's body into a car and drove him to various stops around Denver for a night, including a bar and a restaurant, while they used his ATM card to pay for everything.

Young arrived around 11 p.m. at Jarrett's home and found him unresponsive but rather than calling 911, he went to the restaurant where Rubinson works. The pair then returned to Jarrett's home, loaded him into Rubinson's Lincoln Navigator and took him to Teddy T's bar and grill.

Next stop was a meal at Viva Burrito, and then they somehow withdrew $400 at Shotgun Willie's, remaining at the Glendale strip club until closing time.

Young stated to Denver Det. Ranjan Ford that "it was obvious Jarrett was dead while at Teddy T's".

They next stopped at Sam's No. 3 before dropping off Jarrett's body back at his home finally sometime around 4 a.m. the authorities say the pair flagged down a Glendale police officer and told him that Jarrett might be dead back at his house.

It was much more funny in the film to be honest. Read all about it here: From http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_18905119: if you want.

Also i once went through a phase of watching Weekend At Bernie's every day for about 3 weeks.

It's a good show.
