Ice Road Truckers
Some television is wallpaper, some television is moving wallpaper, some television is interesting and some television..you look at and just go ‘what the fuuuuuuuuuuu’.
Such a programme is ‘Ice Road Truckers’. Ice road truckers appears to be a programme for people who think that dog-fights, bare-knuckle bear baiting, WWF, demolition derby’s and war is for poofs.
Basically you have truckers. Big rigs. Ice and more danger than you get by sticking your mustard-smeared cock up a tiger’s arse. These guys drive big rigs with huge loads over the Canadian highway in winter. Why? Because that’s when the lake freezes enough to bear the weight of them. Oh yea, driving on the ice-covered road is the easy bit, they regularly have to pull over to let a guy in a mobility scooter pass. But driving a lorry on ice…that is just a tad interesting.
Actually it’s fascinating stuff, because these are tough guys working in extremes and it shows you why that rock on your engagement ring cost so much – because the diamond mines they haul stuff to are in inhospitable places. Best bits are when the weather closes in and visibility is zero, but they can’t stop because they’ll sink through the ice. You basically have a bloke in a cab peering through the window going ‘fuckfuckfuckfuck’ until he hits the next turning.
Mind you – I remember a few years ago we went to The Maple Leaf off of Covent garden for a beer, and blizzards had closed down Canada, so no imported lager. Where were these ‘hard men’ then, eh? Eh?

I've seen this show (back when I still had cable)! They haul all kinds of crazy, heavy stuff across that ice. I drive across an icy puddle and I lose control of my car. Don't know how (or why) they do it!
