Guess what FedEx brought today?
Season 2 Ice Road Truckers DVDs! Two sets.
I love free stuff. I was running around the house telling everyone it was really true, the lady was legit, and she came through with the DVDs.
It’s ridiculously cold today for Texas, 30 fricking degrees F. I have a little bit of shopping left to do, but I wasn’t about to get out there and do it today.
Nope, I curled into a ball next to my dogs to watch people who were colder than I. Ice Road Truckers.
Don’t forget, I have an extra set to give away, so if you’re interested, go to :::this post::: and leave your comment with your best guess to win.
So far I’m liking what I’m seeing, the photography of the arctic is phenomenal.
I especially like the underwater and through the ice shot of the underneath of the Mac truck. How the hell did they do that?
What I’m not liking is they bleeped out all the cuss words. This is a DVD and these are real life truckers. Maybe there’s an optional bonus track with an unedited soundtrack. Hmmm.
You have until Christmas to win the prize. Ladies with sons (Sulya? AJ, Ginny?), this would be a wonderful show for them to watch. Big trucks. Ice. Tough guys…
The Show Must Go On 
Uh, hello? My kid would NEED the cuss words in there.
Yeah, like all the kids don’t know those words, and use them when the parental units aren’t around. They probably did it to protect the 80 year old lady fans.
I guess they wanted to keep the rating at the family level.
I don’t see anything wrong with “shit” or “ass” or “shitass.”
But sometimes the bleeps are funny as hell, especially when you can till hear the word. Or when there’s a lot of them. Like on Arrested Development.
Here’s the best use of bleeping I’ve ever seen:
As for the trucking Ice Road show, in one of the episodes the narrator said something like, “Hugh is hauling ass down the ice road…”
I had to back that shit up and hear it again. The Nat Geo-like narrator said ass! Yes he did.
