Shit Snares...



It all starts with shit larve, then shit moths, then shit-a-pillars.

Mr. Lahey is back and he has set a Shit-Snare that is sure fire to catch the boys.
He's already caught "The Man In The Chair" and J-To-The-R-O-C. Who's next?




Trailer Park Boys: Season 5

Episode #6: Don't Cross the Shit Line


Bubbles is starving and he asks Ray for food. Ray can't find his liquor or his nine cans of ravioli—Bubbles and Ricky figure Julian must've taken the food and the booze. Ray tries to steal Julian's glass of rum and coke from inside the tent while Julian's sleeping, and Julian snaps. He says he needs to buy his trailer back because the boys are driving him nuts.


Meanwhile, Lahey shows Randy his collection of liquor bottles—he's been stealing the boys' liquor for weeks now. Lahey sends Randy to deliver an eviction notice to Ray. The burnt-out trailer shell has got to go. But when Randy visits Ray's, he's not there and the boys pick a fight. Randy threatens to take off his pants to fight Ricky, but Ricky rips Randy's pants off himself. Randy tells Lahey about the fight, and Lahey tells him not to worry. Lahey will get his revenge: Ray crossed the shit line when he told everyone that Lahey was drinking again and the boys are going to pay.


J-Roc's making a DVD called "J-Roc's Greasy Trailer Park Girls Gone Wild." No one really wants to act in the porno, but Bubbles agrees to do it for free food, and Ray agrees to do it for free liquor. During the shoot, Bubbles has to slap a girl's butt and Ray gets completely wasted. J-Roc tries to get Ricky to participate by telling him that Lucy is the featured performer in the movie, but Ricky won't do it. Ricky doesn't want the mother of his child to be in a porn film, and decides that he needs to talk Lucy out of it. Lucy doesn't listen, and all the stress is beginning to give Ricky chest pains.


Randy and Lahey catch the boys shooting the film, and they notice a stack of empty grocery bins near J-Roc's trailer. It's all the evidence Lahey needs to call the cops. When the cops show up, J-Roc and Tyrone are arrested for stealing groceries and the movie shoot is shut down. Randy and Lahey find the tape and it shows Ray walking around—proof that he's not disabled. Lahey calls the worker's compensation board to report Ray's disability fraud. The police show up at the park again, and this time, they arrest Ray and haul him off to jail.

Sunblock CAUSES Cancer!

Now, the Sun Prevents Skin Cancer -- Right?
Put Away the Sunblock? Scientists Say Moderate Amounts of Sunshine May Prevent Cancer


May 23, 2005 — Scientists are excited about a vitamin again. But unlike fads that sizzled and fizzled, the evidence this time is strong and keeps growing. If it bears out, it will challenge one of medicine's most fundamental beliefs: that people need to coat themselves with sunscreen whenever they're in the sun. Doing that may actually contribute to far more cancer deaths than it prevents, some researchers think.

The vitamin is D, nicknamed the "sunshine vitamin" because the skin makes it from ultraviolet rays. Sunscreen blocks its production, but dermatologists and health agencies have long preached that such lotions are needed to prevent skin cancer. Now some scientists are questioning that advice. The reason is that vitamin D increasingly seems important for preventing and even treating many types of cancer.

In the last three months alone, four separate studies found it helped protect against lymphoma and cancers of the prostate, lung and, ironically, the skin. The strongest evidence is for colon cancer.

Many people aren't getting enough vitamin D. It's hard to do from food and fortified milk alone, and supplements are problematic.

So the thinking is this: Even if too much sun leads to skin cancer, which is rarely deadly, too little sun may be worse.

No one is suggesting that people fry on a beach. But many scientists believe that "safe sun" 15 minutes or so a few times a week without sunscreen is not only possible but helpful to health.

One is Dr. Edward Giovannucci, a Harvard University professor of medicine and nutrition who laid out his case in a keynote lecture at a recent American Association for Cancer Research meeting in Anaheim, Calif.

His research suggests that vitamin D might help prevent 30 deaths for each one caused by skin cancer.

"I would challenge anyone to find an area or nutrient or any factor that has such consistent anti-cancer benefits as vitamin D," Giovannucci told the cancer scientists. "The data are really quite remarkable."

The talk so impressed the American Cancer Society's chief epidemiologist, Dr. Michael Thun, that the society is reviewing its sun protection guidelines. "There is now intriguing evidence that vitamin D may have a role in the prevention as well as treatment of certain cancers," Thun said.

Even some dermatologists may be coming around. "I find the evidence to be mounting and increasingly compelling," said Dr. Allan Halpern, dermatology chief at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, who advises several cancer groups.

The dilemma, he said, is a lack of consensus on how much vitamin D is needed or the best way to get it.

Interesting hemp facts:

1619: Jamestown Colony, Virginia, enacts the New World's first marijuana legislation, ordering all farmers to grow Indian hemp seed. Mandatory hemp cultivation laws were passed in Massachusetts in 1631 and in Connecticut in 1632. Cannabis is frequently used for barter, and during times of shortage, farmers sometimes face jail terms for not growing hemp. Some colonies allow farmers to pay taxes with cannabis hemp.

1776: Patriot wives and mothers organize "spinning bees" to clothe Washington's troops, spinning the thread from hemp fibers. Without hemp, the Continental Army would have frozen to death at Valley Forge. In that same year, in Common Sense, Thomas Paine lists cordage, iron, timber and tar as America's four essential natural resources. "Hemp flourishes even to rankness, we do not want for cordage," Paine writes.

June 28, 1776: The first draft of the Declaration of Independence is written on Dutch hemp paper. A second draft -- the version released on July 4 -- is also written on hemp paper. The final draft, signed by the Founders, is copied from the second draft onto animal parchment.

December 1840: Abraham Lincoln writes, "Prohibition... goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes... A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

1850: United States Census counts 8,327 hemp plantations (farms with a minimum size of 2,000 acres) growing cannabis hemp for industrial purposes.

1883: Hashish smoking parlors are open for business in every major American city. According to police estimates, in 1883 there are 500 such parlors in New York City alone.

1890: Queen Victoria's personal physician, Sir Russell Reynolds, prescribes Cannabis for menstrual cramps. Sir Reynolds writes in the first issue of The Lancet, "When pure and administered carefully, [cannabis] one of the of the most valuable medicines we possess."

1914: Congress passes the Harrison Narcotics Act, its first attempt to control recreational use of drugs.

1916: The United States Department of Agriculture issues "Bulletin No. 404: Hemp Hurds as Paper-Making Material," printed on hemp paper, outlining a revolutionary new hemp pulp technology invented by USDA scientists Dewey Lyster and Jason Merrill. The bulletin lists increased production capacity and superior quality among the advantages of using hemp hurds for pulp. Lyster writes in Bulletin No. 404, "Every tract of 10,000 acres which is devoted to hemp raising year by year is equivalent to a sustained pulp producing capacity of 40,500 acres of average wood-pulp lands." Hence, an acre of hemp produces four times as much pulp as an acre of trees.

February 1917: Henry Timken, the wealthy industrialist who invented the roller bearing, meets with inventor George Schlichten to discuss his brilliant yet simple new machine, the "decorticator." Motivated by his desire to halt the destruction of forests for wood pulp, Schlichten spent 18 years and $400,000 developing the decorticator. The decorticator was capable of stripping the fiber from any plant, leaving behind pulp -- making it the perfect tool to revolutionize the hemp fiber/paper industry in much the same way that Eli Lilly's cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry during the 1820's. After meeting with Schlichten, Timken views the decorticator as a revolutionary discovery that would improve conditions for mankind (with healthy profits for investors), and he promptly offers Schlichten 100 acres of fertile farmland to grow hemp for the purposes of testing the new machine. At anemic 1917 hemp production levels, Schlichten estimated that the decorticator could produce 50,000 tons of paper for $25 per ton -- 50% less than the cost of newsprint.

-1937, Harry Anslinger, testifying to Congress
'There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.'
The year the federal government outlawed cannabis.

February 1938: Popular Mechanics describes hemp as the "new billion dollar crop." The article was actually written in the spring of 1937, before cannabis was criminalized. Also in February

1938, Mechanical Engineering calls hemp "the most profitable and desirable crop that can be grown."

1941: Popular Mechanics introduces Henry Ford's plastic car, manufactured from and fueled by cannabis. Hoping to free his company from the grasp of the petroleum industry, Ford illegally grew cannabis for years after the federal ban.

1942: The Japanese invasion of the Philippines cuts off the U.S. supply of Manila hemp. The U.S. government immediately distributes 400,000 pounds of cannabis seeds to farmers from Wisconsin to Kentucky. Just four short years after cannabis was outlawed as the "assassin of youth," the government requires farmers to attend showings of the USDA pro-cannabis classic, Hemp for Victory.

1962: President John F. Kennedy forces Federal Bureau of Narcotics czar Harry Anslinger into retirement after Anslinger attempts to censor the work of Professor Alfred Lindsmith, author of The Addict and the Law. Some time after his assassination in 1963, associates of Kennedy claimed that the president used cannabis for back pain and planned to legalize marijuana during his second term.

1990: As the drug war gets uglier and uglier, 390,000 American citizens are arrested on marijuana-related charges.
September 5, 1990: Los Angeles Police Chief Darryl Gates testifies before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee that "casual drug users should be taken out and shot."
