Is it just me or is this entire season playing out like Hamlet?  The buildup and introduction of the situation(s) with full tension, (re)introduction of characters just to use as plot constructs, and now I believe we have reached a critical turning point/climax- which logically leads to the denoument (regular english; everything spirals down the shit drain).  It should result in all characters going down except for a couple of survivors (I agree on Lucy and Sarah as top picks, but where's Babs?  It's HER park now).  I noticed Ricky's chest pains right away- who wouldn't have a heart attack after years of chainsmoking and shit like eating nine cans of ravioli?  All in all this seems to be the most theatrically constructed season since the first two, IMO.  You could adapt this to a stage play.  We only have a short time before it falls apart.  And if I know the previous trends well enough, it will end in a way open enough to allow for five more seasons OR declare "The End" without losing it's power.

I'm still not sure if Lucy's boobs are real, I want more photos.  They could do the appearance of cleavage with the same fake tan stuff they used to spray over Randy's bandaids (I've heard they airbrush fake tan on a lot of actors/tresses now).

The badonkadonk monologue is my favorite.  Possibly ever as Bubbles and J-Roc's greasy porno biz goes.

They are not real.  I seen and spoke to her "in real life" on April 14th, 2005 in Toronto and yes, I checked em out!    
Bill Welychka and I had a brief conversation about her having "new boobs" this season when she was off to the little girls room and Bill asked her in front of me when she came back "So, what do you think of your new boobs?" and she paused for a moment, made a face and then said "What, don't you think I have the goods?" while opening the front of her jean jacket.  (that's when i looked) teehee.    

And YES, she still has the goods, IMO.

...and yes, it's just you.   jk.

[Tallulah]

Oh friggin LOL beav!  Thanks so much for the NFO (and amusing anecdote).  You have settled a minor household debate.  

3 Cheers for Turbo-Lucy.

Rewatched tonight, noticed DVS's bottle is labeled as DVD, by the way, where was DVS? I don't recall seeing him during this episode.

Interesting observation Tallulah, I totally agree that this is a really well put together season, it seems extremely thought out & carefully presented.

[I Was Gettin Changed]

Just got the ep lastnight. Funny as hell. Layhe was jokes. All shit talk had me busting a gut.

I've been thinking about this a lot as well.  The way the plot is put together in this season is quite impressive.  As much as I love it, I think ending it after this season would be a good idea.  Go out on top and go out as kings!  Then it could set up the movie.

This was a great episode, best of the season, I think. J-Roc was great, his "passed out, truck drivin, phantom 309 motherfucker" line made me laugh harder than anything in the past 2 seasons. I also loved the classic Randy moment, when he really thought the cop was going to make balloon animals. That was vintage Randy stupidity. It was also great to see Jacob and George Greene back, and Bubbles did less in this episode, so it worked better.

[seeeteee]

I hope Ray busts out with some crazy shit on Lahey and Randy so we can finally see how Ricky got so greasy and fucked up.  Ray is Ricky's father.  He should be able to come up with some really good stuff to get Lahey.

[Inflatable Elvis]

Okay, I listened to this many times and I am about 95% sure I heard this correctly.

When Ray steals Julians drink and starts yelling he says "You stole all my Raviolie"

Then he says this "All of Mike's liqour".. As I said I am 95% sure that he did say Mike's liqour not my or Bubbles

[Refuckulator]

Yeah I think you're right. Nice observation IE

[melba the disco queen]

Have you watched it with closed captioning? Sometimes that helps clarify things, sometimes not.

Yep, and it tottaly skipped over that part.. it said about eating the found, but since there was 3 people taking at once.. i skipped some of it.. and happened to be that part.. which somewhat pisses me off.

[melba the disco queen]

Bah! I hate when that happens!

[Inflatable Elvis]

Bah! I hate when that happens!

Same here

Well the movie is supposed to be unrelated, but I watched season 5 and the Christmas special again last week and it really seems to have an air of finality about it.  I mean, we get the "before it all happened" view from the xmas special that helps to explain why/how Sunnyvale came to be the way it is, and the season itself winding up and winding up until- there you have Layhey getting a friggin' award, Lucy and Sarah finally willing to accept the boys ways and visiting them in jail, Ricky considering changing his life for his health, a proud looking and forgiving Randy, and most of all, WHAT IN THE HELL are we going to do without Trevor?  Then again, if the show were coming to a planned end, why would he alone have told us he was leaving?  Perhaps the season was written this way "just in case"- did anybody expect it to go on for so long?  And what are they going to do with "Turbo-Lucy"- I mean, looking at the previous seasons she looks SO much more casual and comfortable, it must have been way more annoying to get into the season 5 getups and I hear that prosthetics like that are really heavy and uncomfortable (mine are real, and they're heavy and uncomfortable!) and how long it must have taken to do the hair etc.  You look at say, season 3, and everyone just looks like they're hanging out and having a good time.  I want these people to entertain me but they don't owe it to me, and shouldn't have to if it's not fun anymore.... hmm.  There's so much to see and think on- I mean, it says enough that I don't even really like television shows at all and I love this one.

i believe the bottle is labelled DVD as that is how some ppl fvck up his name, like Ricky did once...

[moncton velvet smooth]

    With all the hoes and likka it's funny that Lahey points out the smoke machine. And fuck, are J-Roc and T ever dumb. Even Ricky knows that if you steal grocery bins you ought to dispose of them atop your neighbor's trailer.
    I've drank a whole quart before. I wouldn't recommend it, not unless you want to wind up with Laheyized pants.
