Tim Cherry tells us the incredible story of how Jared almost DIDN'T get the role that helped launch his career.

FYI: The role was as Don Cherry in both mini-series "Keep Your Head Up, Kid" and "The Wrath of Grapes"

Welcome to our weekly boozeposting thread!

Hey skids, I'm the author of u/Shoresy___bot. Reddit permabanned the account earlier this summer and I'm not planning to appeal or re-launch the bot with a new account. This post is 1) my attempt to avoid an Irish Goodbye and 2) a thank you to the members and mods of this subreddit for putting up with me.

I wrote the bot as an amusing side-project on the weekend before my son was born. Unlike my son, though, I've neglected the bot for its entire life. I figured that Shoresy wouldn't write clean code, test it, or maintain it so I abandoned it except to add chirps from later seasons. It ran off of a $20 Raspberry Pi sitting on my dryer for most of those seven years.

Honestly, it was the right choice. I had no idea that some regex matchers and a predefined list of chirps could result in such funny interactions with this community. Some of my favourites over the years:

• Breaking into the top 100 Reddit bots on the old b0trank
• Accidentally chirping Michelle Mylett in her AMA (I'm so sorry; please call me)
• Emerging victorious from the scrum of several Shoresy bots that inhabited Reddit at the time
• Getting reported and temporarily banned for chirping harassing someone on r/UnexpectedLetterkenny, then getting reported to r/SuicideWatch in the same thread
• Chirping b0trank whenever someone responded "good bot" to one of the comments. It's an easy thing to fix but it was so funny that I considered it a feature.

I love this community; your memes are hilarious and I'm glad that we could bond over a shared love of these amazing TV shows. Some of you responded to the bot with chirps that were so fucking funny and out-of-pocket that they deserve a place in the writers' room. Thanks for all the laughs and I hope the next bot creator does a better job than I did.

The bot's source code sucks but I made it freely available in case anyone wants to pick up the torch and fork it. Get involved!

To cap off our summer of Cherry, we were thrilled to welcome Tim Cherry on The Produce Stand to talk about the films based on his father's life.

Got introduced to this trailer through my workplace, super cool to see Dan’s new work since Chez Mcmurray.

I'm trying to make a gif of when Wayne just shouts "WAIT!". I think it was whole he was chirping at either the hockey players or the skids. I can't find an existing gif of it so I need to find the scene so I can just make it myself but I can't for the life of me remember where it happened.

If someone for some reason sees this and knows what I'm talking about, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Title says it all, I want him as my big brother, Father, best friend, role model and Husband. (not at the same time, calm down)

I finished Letterkenny a couple of weeks ago and I started Shoresy last week. I just can’t get into it. I watched the first episode and was very turned off by Shoresy’s treatment of Sanguinet. Does this get better?

Personally, I cooks probably go for a “Pitter Patter Let’s Get Going” or an “Apparently?” shirt but I also just like dumb tshirts.

Re watching first season of Letterkenny and noticed something I've never picked up on before: the whole episode is full of hints that everyone in town has the flu.

Episode opens with a sweaty Glen not wearing pants because he's complaining about the "humidity." Darry gets sick after being bit by a possum and everybody blames it on rabies; with how brilliant the writing is in this show, and with Wayne rattling off Virginia opossum facts, it seems odd that it would just be overlooked that possums aren't rabies vectors.

Katy takes Darry to the clinic and finds Stewart, shivering and pale, which we assume is just him being high. Could also be flu symptoms.

When they go to remove a skunk from the bar, Gale mentions that she's on a juice cleanse and has been sh**ting all day. "OH, there's another one knocking"

Several hockey players don't show up to the game, which we blame on the native flu. The rookie randomly vomits, which we blame on drugs.

Could it be that everybody just had the flu and nobody really noticed because there were other explanations?

Idk if its just a new generation Canadian hockey thing, but I cant stand when those two go off and talk on a tangent, every end to a sentence is boys or its all hype slang. I dont mind them when they are actually having a conversation but otherwise its annoying. Is that how people actually talk or is that purely for the show?
