ACTRA Strike- Take One!
ACTRA members have been told not to show up to work today, which will be a serious blow to many performers who have found work increasingly scarce in this country. Not to mention, thousands of other technical staff and related industries will be out of work or will see their revenues completely dry up for the duration of the strike.
My question: If there really is a god - some omnipotent celestial executive producer - and he is in control of choosing any Canadian show to become a victim of this labour action, for fuck's sakes why couldn't he have cast Air Farce into that inescapable fiery pit? Why? Why?
On the upside, hopefully we won't be seeing much of Ben Mulroney for awhile.

LOL! I especially hate when they wear wigs and costumes to do impressions, hoping we won't notice they're fucking 70 years old.
However, under the category of "not everyone's cup of tea, but will make you piss your pants laughing if it is" is a great new show I stumbled across on Showtime "Rent-A -Goalie" set in an Italian Cafe in Toronto. Edgy, hilarious stuff. Then again, Trailer Park Boys makes me laugh uncontrollably, so take that recommendation with a grain of salt. (I swear I went to school with exact doppelgangers of those guys.)
I saw a trailer for that awhile back- looked interesting. I've spent enough time on College Street and in my own St. Clair so the Italian cafe thing is definitely my cup of tea.
When and where is it on?...
Showtime? Or do you mean Showcase?
Shit, Pam's right...I'm a tv luddite. (So if I like something, it must be good...right?)

Lotsa sex and swearing...not for kids.
I love Showcase. It's pretty much the only channel I watch. I'm addicted to Weeds. I'll check it out, leather.
Well, if it's OK for a North American kid like me with no life experience who circle-jerks on your blog, I guess it'll be OK for you too.
(In retrospect, your mistake was attempting to reason with an angry, anonymous mob....a no-winner. As someone who shares your love and respect of women, I felt your pain.)
Leather- don't worry about me dude. There is is nothing the "vagina warriors" could do to me that sleeping scrunched up in a bass bin in a crammed van with no heater in Northern Quebec in -40 weather with putrid roadie feet inches from my face hasn't already.
K, Air Farce can be very random at times but I love 22 minutes and I hope that is still on. Plus there is the new CBC show Little Mosque on Prairie which starts tomorrow and there is a lot of talk about that.
Anyways check your email.
I don't watch Air Farce but I do like Mercer. My son loves the Mercer Report (which is a little disturbing) so we often watch it together and laugh.
K-
If I had a choice between -40 in a van with no heat (and I've been there, unfortunately) and the "vagina warriors", I would take my chances with the cold and the smelly roadie feet. Just the term "vagina warrior" gives me a rash.
JC: are you having another one of those SQUID attacks?
Joanne- I've replied.
Pam: That's hilarious that your son likes Mercer. Intelligent lad.
What does he think of George S and the Hour?
Joanne, This Hour is still pretty good, despite all the originals mostly being gone. (I'll try to avoid going off on my years-long Cathy Jones crush, lest K-Dough question my sanity.)
Joe C, Beachcombers sucked shit. I don't care if it was a Canadian Icon; there were high school film projects with better production.
Leather: I starred in a "high school film" project once. Well, not so much film project, as no-budget poorly-lit VHS experiment and I was the only "actor" who wasn't really in high school.
I played the star role: a janitor at a very naughty high school.
Wow, that's where I'd seen you before....the homo-eroticism was off the scale.
Hey, there was at least 1 female in that video you know. Well, not so much female as shaved, Criscoed-up goat.
But c'mon...it was a little more diverse than you remember.
All I can remember from that movie is the janitor had really skinny calves. Wasn't his porn name K-Doomi?
My screen name was Sven Sexhammer.
And fyi- The calves grew into magnificent chiselled works of body art when I stopped subsisting on Kraft Dinner alone.
LMAO...okay, err..Sven.
Okay... now I have a headache. See,
I shoulda taken the blue pill.
I think they should bring back the bluvies... and what about the Munsters... I say that because I'm sure it's "Lurch" whose moved in next door. I'm too nice to ask though.
I did some commercials when I was a kid... Japanese slingshot ad's.
*sigh* that was before I truly discovered the medicinal effects of beer and sports as viewed from a couch.
When we first met Mrs. Joe spent hours looking at the stills, then looking at me, then looking back at the stills, then back at me... she didn't believe me until my mother told her it was true.
Now I'm working to get rid of it all... luckily, men's dick size is not purportionate to their weight. Unlike women and breasts... sneaky buggers.
After 40, you don't worry about your gut... If you've got one your screwed by then anyways, if you don't, then you do a bizzillion push-ups and sit-ups everyday, whether you want to or not.
Nope,middle-age men have only one true battle... you have to fight "Old Mans Ass"!!! I'd rather be dead than get "Old Mans Ass".
At least with old mens tits you get something to play with. I suppose I could tolerate that, but "Old Mans Ass", never.
K-Dough, I know Romana. You know Romana. Do we know each other by chance?
JC- you're drunk aren't you? I know cuz I speak drunk.
You said "After 40, you don't worry about your gut... If you've got one your screwed by then anyways, if you don't, then you do a bizzillion push-ups and sit-ups everyday, whether you want to or not."
Thank god. I'm 48 and still goin' strong baby!
Adrian- dude, I do know her. She was at my place for New Year's Eve last week actually. That's as far as the personal detes can go in this medium though...
I was just wondering if I somehow knew you from Toronto when I lived there...
wtf is jammed in there- chicklets?
