What does he want me to do, go to EI and say hello there, I've been hauling shopping carts out of ponds for 18 years...give me a fu*kin check please

Friday saw a visit to the theatre for some Jackass 2. I don't remember the first one but knew the only way to see # 2 would be in a theatre for the reaction of others. I don't think anyone stopped laughing the whole way through, probably one of my favorite movies of the year.

The Trailer Park Boys movie finally comes out in a few weeks, October 6th.
There is only one way to properly watch it; get liquored up, catch the early showing, then go to the BHT afterwards.
View the trailer here.

Saturday night started off at my house with Kelly, Vanessa, Paige, Nikki & Stephanie. After about 200 pictures being taken & a game of Malarky, we finally made our way to the BHT.

I had my usual drink, while watching some older people try dancing to some 80's favorites on the jukebox. Due to the lack of anyone being there, we quickly made our way to the O'house.

It wasn't long until Kris G. yelled out the phrase, "Who the Fu&*k would wear that dress here!" in the direction of some falling over bridesmaids.

We had front row seats for 3 girl on girl dance floor fights. While a lot of punches were thrown + a few kicks, not many made contact. I would only give it a 6.5/10. What happened to the days of throwing a glass or bottle at each others head?

Paige - aka 'Wheels', took us to Mcdonalds. It was a lengthy wait in the drive thru, but thanks to Joey's running off to use the bathroom and harassing Paige, it seemed to pass quickly. I had the Double Quarter Pounder. I also scored some ranch sauce - this is important as I was viciously denied requesting it in a previous visit. I will keep it in my fridge for years as a memory.

After finishing food, Kelly requested to be pushed around in a shopping cart by Vanessa, so we headed for Walmart. There were some employees outside though. Eventually we found some carts out back of Northumberland Square for the mission to be completed.

The drive home was not without incident, a few complaints from Joey about having to shit himself followed by what Paige claimed to be a cat crossing the road, which caused a near rear end by a tailgating taxi.

You know you're in trouble when Cory Feldman thinks you should have an intervention

The other day I stumbled upon what I thought was a disturbing trend.

Teachers.
The high amount of people I went to school with that have become teachers. I can count 5 or 6 without thinking about it. I think they will all be good at it, but missing something.

Back in my day, teachers were people who had life experience, & told stories about it almost every day.

They wrote books, built pools, escaped a DUI conviction, had a student-teacher sex scandal, got high on history, and appeared on jeopardy.

You could learn more from listening to their stories than the actual material being taught in class.

Now it seems everyone I know becoming a teacher has never left school. They went from high school, right into university, and right back to school for work. I'm sure they have gathered life experience, well drinking experience, while in university.

Don't get me wrong, a career of always being in school has advantages. Like never working a summer or weekend, & "I get older, they stay the same age."

Anyway this trend bothered me until I remembered a key factor. All of us have heard a line like this from a parent about one of our teachers; "(enter name here)! He/She couldn't teach a dog how to shit." or a reference about them being an alcoholic. So I guess things will pretty much work out to being the same.

I look forward to some interesting parent-teacher meetings when I'm older. "Hey do you remember when we used to try and set this classroom on fire?" or "You were pretty drunk at the BHT the other weekend, was that a student you were with?"

On a side note, as discussed with Andrew, it's been a long time since M.Leblanc has been seen out drinking, or out doing anything anywhere. My theory is, with all the history being made in the middle east these days, he is home taping CNN 24/7 and writing his own textbook, titled "Getting High on History"

I hope to get a signed copy.
