On a Lighter Note

I'm not usually one for homecoming and all the non-age-appropriate bullshit that comes with it, but this year there's at least one thing that's piqued my interest more than, say, assaulting WLUSU volunteers at Pikecoming.

It combines three things that should intrigue nearly everyone: Trailer Park Boys (Whites), karaoke (Asians and whoever's drunk enough) and a worthy cause (all of humanity).

It can't be any worse than the last time I dressed up as Ricky. They had this TPB night at the Turret last year, and I actually dressed up for it. I forget who exactly was with me (others were in costume too), but we got there and the place was an absolute tomb.

In obvious disappointment, we headed downstairs to Wilf's, dressed like the Trailer Park Boys on an ordinary Friday night. The weird part: students were so embroiled in their midnight-hour drunken conversations and pick-up attempts, nobody seemed to notice I was wearing a shirt torn to shreds and duck-taped back together. In that moment I remember thinking that it must be because Ricky's character and the Wilf's/Turret barflies share a similar level of social civilization.

See y'all at the Huether on Friday night.

I was there! I was dressed like Sara, and I felt like a hooker. Remember we won that big bucket of crap - jalepeno chips, shot glasses, key chains.

Today I was in a cookie store in Toronto and they had gingerbread Ricky, Julian and Bubbles cookies. The looked surprisingly like the characters.
