Heres a 10 minute clip of the Trailer Park boys before they were the Trailer Park Boys. Ricky is a security guard and Julian (which isn't his name here) is his boss. Bubbles is actually a cats name but the real bubbles lives in a house, not a shed. Enjoy!

  To eat or not to eat?

I have a pressing, nay -- vital question for the members of hipbase.

Today, at work, after sneaking out for a smoke, I returned to my desk to find a plate. Said plate is heaped with a large portion of fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I have no idea who put it there, from where it came, or for whom it is intended.

That being said, lunch is coming up.

Do I eat the chicken?

My lunchtime fate is in your hands, hipbase.

Pay extra for an iPod, get access to iTunes for free is the rumour.

Interesting concept / business model to say the least if this is true.

I'm sitting here at some trendy cafe in Istanbul. They're playing classical music and I said to my girlfriend, "We don't listen to enough classical music. In fact, we don't listen to any classical music. I wouldn't know where to start."

So, anyone on here listen to classical music? Any suggestions? I realize it's a pretty broad field but you know...

  Coldplay - Viva La Vida

I know that there are some Coldplay fans here, and I'm also just going to assume Opiated hates them...

Regardless,
their new album is slated for a June release, and I bet it will be great. There hasn't been a Coldplay album yet I haven't enjoyed. (Still, nothing compares to Parachutes for me, and I doubt this new one will... but I'm willing to bet it will kick ass).

Also, does anybody know what ever happened to the DVD they were supposedly filming at the Air Canada Centre?
