So my girlfriend ordered Strangers With Candy Vol. 2 for me for my birthday and sadly it never came. But she got her money back and bought me this instead:

Oh, squints, you have GOT to make sure you eventually get the Strangers w/ Candy vol. 2 set. AND vol. 3 at some point. The "Jerri Blank is ILLITERATE!!" episode is on vol. 2, and it might just be my favorite of all of them.



and



...which is really great because it has the short story, the screenplay, AND essays by Proulx, Ossana, and McMurtry about the process of adapting the story and seeing it as a completed film.

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

I've got Vol. 1 & 3 but 2 is no where to be found. This is the second time i've ordered it and its not shown up. But they played a lot of season 2 on comedy central during the day last month, so i kind of remember most of the episodes. i want them all!

It doesn't...and why would it?
It only defends free trade...and the fight against protectionist states.
