Hey guys, I want to start a thread about something that is very near and dear to me. It's a Canadian T.V. show that I watch avidly. At least one episode a day. It's pretty much perfect to sit down and watch this show at any time. What is this show of which I speak?
Trailer Park Boys.
Here's a bit about why I love it so much. (If you already know what it's about... or don't care, skip to the bottom of this post.)
This crazy fantastic show is about three dudes that live in a trailer park somewhere in the wild, wild country of Nova Scotia. These three guys are basically "white trash" that know no better than to grow dope, get into firefights and evade the law. What makes it so funny is how a very simple plan can go tits up in a matter of minutes. One minute, they'll be discussing how to sell their product, and the next they'll be in a full blown battle with AK-47's and Desert Eagles. The three main characters, Julian, Ricky, and Bubbles, are the best trio of dudes I have every seen in a T.V. show (no disrespect to the Three Stooges). Bubbles is hands down my favourite. He can be the voice of reason and then suddenly transform into a hyperventilating gun toting wacko. But the show really shines when Ricky steps in... or rather opens his mouth. Almost every half-assed sentence that he speaks makes me laugh, either because he created a brand new word, or it's just a string of fuck's and other words of that nature. Without Ricky, this show would not have lasted as long as it did. I highly recommend that you guys give this show a go.
Okay, so for those of you who have seen this show and love it (and hopefully those who will love it in the future) I want to know what are your favourite Rickyisms are. Also, as a bonus, you could include some of your favourite shit analogies as created by Mr. Lahey.
Here are two of my favourite Rickyisms and Shit Analogies:
Rickyisms definitions are courtesy of this awesome site:

Rickyisms: 1.) Catch 23: A frustrating situation in which one is trapped by contradictory regulations or conditions. 2.) Horvaculture: The cultivation of a garden, orchard, or nursery.
Shit Analogies: 1.) Shit Rope: A rope that you slide down the harder to try to pull yourself up. 2.) Shit Apple: The offspring of someone that can't get their shit together. "The shit apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Hey guys, I'm in my first year of College, and am currently living on residence. It's pretty awesome with all the party's and independence that you gain, but if I was ever given the chance to live on residence again, I wouldn't. Why? Well, living with a bunch of teenagers who have no sense of what quiet means already gives you an idea.
So, my whole reason for posting this, is I want to know about your experiences with living on residence/campus good or bad. And hopefully, those of you who aren't in College or University yet may get an idea of what it's like. Happy posting.
Man that game is brutal. Killed by darkness? Dragons that turn princesses into three fairies when scorched by flame? What kind of a twisted game is this??!
Yes, with games of late. So much emphasis is placed on the multiplayer and social aspect of games these days, that games such as Modern Warfare 2 (which has an amazing online experience) have a single player campaign that gets belittled by it's bigger brother. This used to be the other way around. For me, single player is what makes a game for me. It keeps me coming back to a game again and again. I also feel that when playing through single player modes, I get sucked into the world that the main character(s) is in. It's just a much more richer experience.
This is why I am currently playing a lot of older games with kick ass single player mode. Mafia anyone?
I don't have to be winning to enjoy a game. Although it does make it easier on the nerves and patience for the game last longer. As long as I have a decent K/D ratio or am close to the 1st position, I really don't care if I win.
