“Hank, you shouldn’t feel guilty cause you had a good idea. You should feel shocked or bewildered, but not guilty…” – Brent Leroy (Butt).
That’s a quote from my favourite show that I don’t actually watch consistently. I watched last night’s season finale, which had to do with one of my favourite animals – Prairie Dogs. (Warning, Spoilers) First about the episode, Hank has a good idea (Hank is kind of the village idiot) to promote tourism in Dog River (fictional town in Saskatchewan that the show is based in), and that is to paint regular sized prairie dogs (changed to large and regular sized prairie dogs and gophers by the mayor) just like the moose in Toronto, and… Cows (?) in… bah I forgot which city.
Anyway, his idea takes off, and tourism begins to pick up in the small town. Because of this, Corner Gas gets the attention of a large gas station chain, Pump n’ Go, which makes an offer to purchase the station from Brent. Another series of events occur, including a visit by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and a bunch of big changes occur in the small town. Emma becomes Mayor, and Karen, the chief of police; Wanda becomes a news reporter for Canada AM, Brent does decide to sell the gas station, and Lacey gets an offer from Pump n’ Go for her restaurant as well, so she sells and moves back to Toronto.
Hank is sad about how his idea has torn apart his world, but then it is shown that the entire episode was just a day dream of Hank, which he then prompts him not to say his idea until the very end of the episode, when he mentions it to the whole gang. When the idea kind of takes off, he starts freaking out and runs out of the restaurant, and everyone is wondering if they should go after him. But this is when Brent notices a banana loaf that Lacey has just baked, at which point everything pretty much goes back to normal.
(Spoilers End Here) So yah, as I mentioned its my favourite show that I don’t watch that regularly – in fact I didn’t know its regular time until last night. But I think I’m really going to get more into it now. I’m gonna go buy the DVD sets, since they’re really cheap, so I can get caught up.
Another Prairie Dog show that I like is the movies that we use at Kid’s Trec. It’s a cartoon show callee “Little Dogs on the Prairie”. Haha. I remember when we first started showing it last year – we still had really young kids then, and it seemed like I was the only one getting the jokes (the lesson plan is really for like 10-12 year olds). Anyway, I really love that show. In fact I’m going to borrow the tapes form Jerlene and watch them through (especially since I missed part of the second set that we were showing cause i was in the Philippines). Haha.
Ok, I’m gonna get myself a hot chocolate, then finish reading this article I should be reading for school. Then, my day is over and I get to go home, horay.
Tomorrow, I plan to finally get my room in order, look for all of my pay stubs from the church so I can finally file my taxes. Then I gotta have the car cleaned… and.. I forget the other thing I needed to do. Oh and yeah, I finished editting my videos from last Sunday, and uploading them to YouTube, but I have been putting off posting them here… I’ll do so in the next few days….
