Julian Voss-Andreae makes art based on quantum physics.

Goodnight, Ricky. Goodnight, Julian. Goodnight, Bubbles.

[NSFW] It's almost time to Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys -- the final episode of the Trailer Park Boys aired in December, 2008. (As Bubbles says, "It's a dirty, sassy liquor. So sassy.") Producer Mike Clattenburg says that there will be a second movie, "Countdown to Liquor Day", to be released late in 2009. After that, though, the TPB franchise will buy the great double-wide in the sky. [pervyously, preevisilly or however th' fuck you say it.] More TPB Youtubery: • All of the episodes • Plenty Outtakes Trailer Park Boys (in character) on: • The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos: 1 2 • on QTV • on G4 • Walking in on the sports report • at the Toronto Film Festival • Bubbles flies a jet on This Hour has 22 Minutes • Pre-TPB Bubbles footage • Bubbles singing "Liquor and Whores" and more, live on stage at The Ricky, Bubbles & Julian Community Service Variety Show More of a Randy & Mr. Lahey fan? • A contentious interview on the CBC News at Six with John Dunsworth (breaking kayfabe) • Bo-Bandy's Bubbles impression, live on stage • Randy & Lahey hosting the Gin Blossoms in Surrey • Randy & Lahey on Reign Supreme Sports And: TPB, the Lego edition.

And I thought a few hours of jet lag was bad.

For 170 years, crossing the Channel from the UK to France would have brought you 11 days forward in time, and crossing back would have brought you 11 days earlier. Why? Because the Church of England wasn't about to adopt a new Calendar instituted by a Catholic pope. After all, if the old style was good enough for Caesar.... In fact, it took over 300 years for the new Gregorian Calendar to come into use throughout Europe, causing, no doubt, more than a few missed lunch dates as people forgot to convert between them as they traveled. There are, of course, many other calendars in use around the world, and no shortage of people suggesting that let's do the time warp again.

Trailer Park Boys

Big Plans. Little Brains. Mike Clattenburg's Trailer Park Boys could soon be more than just a Canadian phenomenon. The mockumentary began as a film, was adapted into a TV series and has been airing for three seasons on Showcase in Canada (not to be confused with this). Ricky, Julian and Bubbles even joined Our Lady Peace during its Fear of the Trailer Park Tour last summer (soon to be documented on CD and DVD) and could be seen alongside Don Cherry in The Tragically Hip's video for "The Darkest One" (a look behind the scenes - qt version). Bubbles even appeared in that informer guy's video for "Legal" and has been writing music reviews in character. (TPB was mentioned briefly here and here.)
