1. Hey, I'm watching my DVDs of Trailer Park Boys

Do you think that accurately represents culture in NB?

Also, how did moose hunting days go this year?

[ragin_acadian]

2. i'm letting my NB liason Katie answer this one:

"moose hunting went well but no one got a moose

nb is not alabama"

[rockymountaindem]

3. lol... yeah, I know.

I have this friend from school (I go to U of Toronto) who is some budding male opera singer from NB, and even he knew all the words to the "moose hunting song". I was quite surprised coming from such a sophisticated man such as himself.

[ragin_acadian]

4. K & i are both stumped.

she's lived in woodstock 24 years, i left for florida 22 years ago. please help....what is the moose hunting song?

btw, tomorrow is the 250th anniversary of "le grande estrangement" - i will try to keep you loungers informed.

[rockymountaindem]

7. I don't know what the song is, in its entirety.

It was on some tv show about the NB moose hunt. I think the refrain was "Got to get me moose!!!"

That's all I know.

[ragin_acadian]

13. something like:

gotta get the horns cut, gotta get me a moose, gotta get me a moose.

dunno.

17. It's pretty representative of rural eastern Canada I think

I've been living here long enough, I think I'm a good authority on it. It's exaggerated, obviously, but I know a few Rickys and J-Rocs.

[ragin_acadian]

19. my liason tells me that i will see trailer park boys before i go home,

but in the meantime, could you post that gannon/halford picture comparison again?

[ghostsofgiants]

20. I don't remember which pictures I used...

But try doing a Google Image search for each, should turn up plenty of results.

[ragin_acadian]

23. it was the one where gannon was tossing a soft ball

and halford was sweaty-headed screaming - you seriously had me giggling for days.

[ghostsofgiants]

24. Was it these two?

[ragin_acadian]

26. YES!!!!!!!!

hellbent for leather, mr. pwesident.

[HEyHEY]

5. You in Woodstock man!1!

[ragin_acadian]

9. ha ha ha

dairy delight, muthafucka! five minute walk away!

[HEyHEY]

15. Dairy Delight? how about the Hinky DInky?

Fuck I remember Dairy Delight.. however please explain again.

Shit, man, I can't believe your'e there... I went to NBCC there...what is it like now... is the riverside still there?

Know the grey apartment just across from woodstock, newer building to the south I think? Three stories, by those shitty houses? I live in the third story, south end.

[ragin_acadian]

16. holy shit, the cops just drove by!

dairy delight = ice cream.

K says riverside is still here, shitty houses are gone, grey apartment houses are still here. hinky dinky...food sucks.

shit, i drove in today from the transCanada, and i didn't recognize it, they built a fuckin store-gasm with mc donalds, shoe stores, all sorts of corporate crap that i didn't recognize. the cozy cabins are still there though.

[HEyHEY]

18. I always associate cozy cabins with diarehha

What street are you on, PM me if you don't feel comfy.

I used to work seafood at Sobey's there, Mike Brehault was my boss, good guy.

Um, did Karen ever go to NBCC around 2001?

[ragin_acadian]

21. dood, i always feel comfy with my NB homey!

but also because any freeper/fundy's in NB have already committed suicide waiting for the rapture. the most i have to fear up here, is some yuppie bastards from maine with W04 stickers. at this point, i could hold a zippo to my lips, and incinerate them.

naw, K didn't go to NBCC until 2004 -

so how's things at the radio station? i got out of the tv business, couldn't stand living my life 30 minutes at a time.

[HEyHEY]

22. It's complicated

I thought radio was my calling, which it is. However. I get wind of all these stories and I usually end up freelancing them. So I think my true calling is investigative investigative journalism. This last week on radio though, I kicked ass, all over BC was I.

The girl who writes for the Bugle, Jen...Fuck I forget her last name... I went to J-school with her... everyone thought she was a tool.

[ragin_acadian]

25. "I kicked ass, all over BC was I."

you even sound like yoda!

i can see you doing the pete brewton thing. man, that would be the coolest!

i'm goin to bed right now, but what station are you on?

btw, "Jen...Fuck I forget her last name" probably is a tool.

6. What's new in mukluks this season?

What's the fashion conscious acardian wearing?

[ragin_acadian]

10. k is clad in oh-so fashionable jammy bottoms,

and i am sporting my boxers w/no holes.

but moccasins r so in slippers or shoes all different sizes

[HEyHEY]

8. I gotta say it's great to see a NB poster

There have been like NONE. Man I miss NB

[ragin_acadian]

11. just visiting,

i drove up from "the hampster" this morning, got a bottle at the duty free, and am now ensconsed on route 560 - smells like 100 year old ass.

in any event, maybe i'll stay, and open up a DU branch?

[nine23]

12. I love New Brunswick. I love moose. I love Crown Royal. I love this thread

I also love when, "le Acadie" from Louisiana go back to NB for family reunions, they feel strangely "back at home", even though Louisiana and NB couldn't be more different...

Did I mention I love this Crown Royal???

[ragin_acadian]

14. well, you geaux!

weird huh? i feel that way, other than the food and accents, i am very at home, actually, i'm starting to fall back into the accent, haven't been here for 22 years, but i'm already starting to say "wat theh feck?"

so....do you like crown royal? i been sniffin on the bacardi i got from the duty free. twelve dollars. can't beat that with a frozen muck-luck.
