The Consumed Behavoir of The Trailer Park Boys

Haven't seen The Trailer Park boys? Well you poor, unfortunate soul, you are missing out on probably the single greatest anything that Canada has produced, aside from Pamela Anderson of course. This show follows the comedic follies of a rather daft, yet some how genius, group of trailer park residents. These follies include; adventures with a mountain lion named Steve French, Jim Lahey's many "shit-isms", the "bottle kids", and of course no season is complete without a ridiculously botched weed growing operation.

Trailer Park Boys exceeds in not only how much heart and originality the show has, but also how extremely low budget it was. Major TV networks should take a serious cue from these guys, that while a large budget sure helps to build a TV series it by no means is the deciding factor of its attractiveness and acceptance. *Classwork Talk Alert* What they figured out was how to listen to their audience, essentially because they are part of the audience. They came from the same demographic that they were trying to sell the show too. An average low to middle income person that isn't afraid of a smattering of curse words and crude caveman-esque humor. And I will only admit this once, maybe we are all like reptiles and just need our reptile buttons pressed, or whatever it was that obnoxiously rich french man said. Included below is Mr. Lahey describing his looking glass self.

Granted that video may seem a bit strange if you know nothing about the Trailer Park Boys, so here is Ricky and his flawlessly hilarious witticisms. I think the reason we enjoy humor of this variety is because it is the only damn thing our ideal and actual selves can agree on, that its absolutely hilarious. On page two of the text book of life it says, when in doubt laugh it out.


Beer of the Week: Ninkasi's Extra Special Bitter Ale and Lagunita's Brown Shugga Substitute Ale

After sufficiently sampling each I can't decide which I like more. The Brown Shugga is blowing up the alcohol ricter scale at 8% alcohol by volume, the Ninkasi is tugging along at 5.8%. That said they are both robust and hoptastic, and seriously just try the damn beer. Expand your beer horizons. Gluten-free need not worry, check out the O Mission brew line by Widmer Brothers(Not 100% on that being the right company, but O' Mission is most definitely the right brew line). It tastes like beer sans the gluten.
