Hey, a Willie Nelson gift bag comes to mind from days gone by.
Willie had a bus, and he smoked so much pot in it that it smelled of THC. It went right into the woodwork of this beautiful tour bus. This is recent.
So he had been caught with weed before in his bus, and it's always publicized, etc. So he stops attempting to cross borders in posession of Marijuana.
As he's crossing over into Canada, the search dogs smell the THC in the walls and go crazy. They tear apart the bus and find nothing.
Willie was released, and he bought a new bus.
A close friend of mine is close with Willie Nelson. I've worked with him, years ago on The Electric Horseman and later on Honeysuckle Rose.
I'll never forget a little unofficial wrap party on the last day of production for Horseman. We were in St. George, Utah. On the last day we filmed, Willie had rented the American Legion Hall and he'd sent for his band, and they went on stage and performed for the cast & crew, and a few locals. What a fun time it was, many years ago. We were all young and I remember looking around the room as Willie sang a ballad, and Redford was there, and Jane Fonda, actor Richard Farnsworth and Wilfred Brimley.
Just a great guy. Everybody loves Willie.

Great story, Dan!
Pimentel was one of the best of a great era.
Besides the great Mexican 118 pounders, you had Jofre, Harada, Rose, Rudkin, etc.
Sadly, bad management kept him from challenging Harada & Jofre.
At the time, both were struggling with weight, and Pimentel was at his hard-hitting best.
Great insight on the sour relationship between Kabakoff and George Parnassus

I don't know, Remy. Maybe George didn't like Harry's Hawaiian shirts?

Couple of years ago he was on the lam until he got busted, he was lookin'
at doing some time, but I bailed him out and Tom The Lawyer worked out a
deal for him, one that he couldn't say no to..Before Tom The Lawyer worked
out the deal Rick and I were already buying cigarettes for him so he could use
them for money in the big house.
