That segment was awesome. There were a lot of times when Rick wasn't acting - it was the real thing. Dr. Popsicle was hilarious!

By the way, Palgrave is completely covered in snow too (5-7 cm).

i was dying when they were shoving that temperature probe down his nose...i thought he was going to die. And boy he wasn't happy about that cold water!

Nice to hear I'm not the only one who watches this show. Did you ever see the Pierre Burton episode where he teaches young kids how to roll a dubie? That one was a classic.

That was great! I didn't find out until after Berton died a few months later that he was actually an expert on the subject. I thought he'd just agreed to do it as a joke, but by then he didn't care what anyone thought of him anymore. Good on him! :-)

I also liked Rick's trip to Canadian Tire with the Prime Minister last week, where Rick showed Paul how to use a hair dryer to put plastic over the windows at 24 Sussex Drive for the winter. And then there was the time that he and the PM were carving Hallowe'en pumpkins together...

The best was Geddie Lee showing how to toboggan down a hill.... "and remember...if you use a metal tobaggan never stick your tongue to it and when you get to the bottom of the hill give the toboggan to your groupie that will carry it back up the hill"
