Glad you liked it. Have you seen the first one by that Brit journalist? It's mentioned at the beginning. It's a very good take on a typical patrol by troops over there and what they have to deal with:

haha ... all i know is that if any of you win, you think of me as a copilot for a show Just kidding. I'd rather see somebody win one of these contests who really wants to see the band involved.

http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/closet_case_9RRHKaf3vqK4XClnWkjnzK A closet case Last interview: David haunted by wife's ex By MICHAEL STARR Last Updated: 6:51 PM, September 22, 2009 Posted: 12:50 AM, September 22, 2009 An interview with David Carradine recorded just a few months before the actor's bizarre death -- where he talks about the afterlife and a "haunted" closet -- was kept secret until this week. The eerie footage is going to air as a part of a series called "Celebrity Ghost Stories," premiering Oct. 3 on the cable channel BIO. On the show, Carradine says that he believes the "ghost" of his wife Annie's dead husband visited him from the couple's bedroom closet. The interview was filmed four months before Carradine's naked body was discovered hanging in his hotel-room closet in Bangkok June 4, in what appeared to be an autoerotic asphyxiation episode gone wrong. It was kept secret until the series was announced this week. FROM BEYOND : David Carradine talks about feeling his wife's dead husband haunting him fromhis closet on Rob Sharenow, BIO's senior VP of programming, said network officials debated whether to release the startling Carradine "Ghost Stories" footage immediately after his death. "We absolutely had that conversation, but decided not to make a huge deal of it at the time . . . because we didn't want to seem like we were just rushing into something to exploit [Carradine's] passing," he says. "We wanted to be respectful, first and foremost, and to roll the show out as planned." In the segment, Carradine recounts how, after he married Annie (his fifth, and last, wife), strange noises started emanating from their bedroom closet. "I think [Dana] was hanging out in the closet, and sometimes when I walked into that closet . . . it would be cold in there, unreasonably cold," Carradine says. In another segment, Carradine recalls how he went into the "icy cold" closet, where Annie kept some of Dana's old ties. "One of the ties was turned around and it had a little logo attached to it . . . that said 'Grateful Dead,' and I thought, what does he mean by that?" Carradine says. "It was obviously a joke, that the dead were grateful . . . it was the only way he could communicate [that] he now felt like everything was settled, the kids were taken care of and I was gonna be there for them," Carradine says. "And I will be." The show features other celebs -- including Joan Rivers, Scott Baio and Carrie Fisher -- talking about their brushes with the paranormal. Sharenow says BIO will heavily promote the Carradine episode, which airs nearly four months to the day after his death. "We're absolutely going to feature the Carradine story prominently the week it airs," he says. "It's in the first episode, and it was always going to be in the first episode. "While we don't want to appear as if we were exploiting his misfortune . . . we don't want to be shy about talking about it. "It's extraordinary -- and people are going to notice it."

I just read the 50 page intro to this "free" Origin of Species edition by the fundies. UGH! http://assets.livingwaters.com/pdf/OriginofSpecies.pdf All I could think about, while they attempt to tear apart Darwin's works (and his personal life), was to change the subject to being that of a fundamentalist and how they defend their faith's "truths." Hand out as many of these as you like. For the few converts that may be acquired by this tactic, I would guess that the intelligence of post-secondary students would actually flock to the other side of the argument they are trying defend.

I've just watched a bunch of videos by the woman in that rebuttal (such a treat after listening to Kirk chirp away): http://www.youtube.com/user/ZOMGitsCriss She's really good ... and that accent This woman has some great videos too (i've only seen a few): http://www.youtube.com/user/DefenderOfReason

Sun Sep 20, 11:14 AM By Alison Auld, The Canadian Press ADVERTISEMENT HALIFAX, N.S. - It takes only minutes into the new Trailer Park Boys movie to see that the drug-addled gang of louts is headed right back to their harebrained, n'er-do-well ways - and back to a filmmaking formula they hope will be as successful as their last celluloid venture. The opening moments of "Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day" show the usual cast of characters again being released from prison with promises they will reform their derelict ways and set themselves on the road to redemption, or at least stay out of the big house for awhile. But seconds after tasting freedom, they're stealing a corrections van and holding up a liquor store - with cardboard boxes and welding masks as disguises - to secure some "startup" money for their next business venture. It is the same framework that has spawned a devoted following across Canada and fed the series' wacky story lines for seven seasons on TV's Showcase. Director Mike Clattenburg has described the tone of the film as a little darker than the TV series, but fans of the show won't be disappointed as it aptly captures the antics they've likely come to expect from the characters. There is Julian, the brawny schemer who is never without a rum-and-coke in his clutches; Ricky, his profane, overweight sidekick who can't utter a sentence not laced with F-bombs; and Bubbles, the googlie-eyed heart and soul of the fictional Sunnyvale trailer park whose sole mission seems to be protecting his collection of kitties. The movie picks up with the boys heading back to Sunnyvale, only to find it abandoned and battered after their archrival, park superintendent Jim Lahey, moved on to manage a pristine, orderly trailer home development. Lahey, played by John Dunsworth, has cleaned up his act, gotten off the drink, taken to jogging and settled down with his shirtless, pot-bellied lover, Randy. But as soon as the boys return, Lahey begins slipping into his old booze-soaked ways and is soon wandering around in a robe and tighty whities, with a bottle in tow. "You don't understand," the character says in a desperate fit that references the movie's title. "The liquor's calling the shots now." The tale, complete with its characteristic profanity and steady stream of liquor, ends with the trio again seeing their latest harebrained scheme to make money foiled with dramatic effect. And again, they find themselves back in the slammer, surely cooking up some more asinine plots to strike it rich and climb out of their economic hole. "'Survivor: Sunnyvale' would be kind of a good show," Bubbles, played by Mike Smith, said in his trademark Coke-bottle glasses before the movie premiered in Halifax last week. "Or maybe a travel show. You know, the three of us travelling around the world, checking out resorts, grading their booze and dope ... and seeing how the kitty situation is." "Countdown to Liquor Day" could be the last offering from the Gemini Award-winning cast that includes actors Smith, John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells. The concept for the TV show took shape in 1999 when Clattenburg released the first Trailer Park Boys' movie and what became a tried and true formula for the series in 2001. The mockumentary-style series wrapped up its seven-year run in 2008 and spawned a self-titled movie in 2006 that became the No. 11 film in North America when it opened. It made $1.3 million over the Thanksgiving weekend. Lucy DeCouture, who plays Lucy in the movie and on the show, said this latest film got to the heart of what the Trailer Park Boys' was all about. "You've gotta have your peeps around you," she said while walking the red carpet for the premiere. "If you don't have people around you that you love, then you lose. Flush it down the shitter."

I know it was last week, but i had a great f'n time at this show. It was grand in scale and a treat to the eyes and ears. Logistically, as a floor ticket holder, it was easy in and easy out (twss).
