John Dunsworth was such a gem. Arguably the best portrayal of alcoholism on-screen ever. One of the kindest people ever, according to absolutely everyone. Brilliant actor, and an excellent stonemason privately. He explicitly wanted his hobbies to outlive him.

For those who don't know, John played Jim Lahey in the surprisingly excellent series "Trailer Park Boys". Give it a watch, you may be surprised.

Trailer Park Boys kind of needs to be watched after midnight.

No, just get high.

Honestly, the episode where bubbles gets a mountain lion is to my favorite episode of any television show. High or not.

Not really my thing, although I respect others right to make their own choices.

Being up at 1am after a full day makes for about the same mental state though.

I'll admit that I've enjoyed many an episode following Lahey's example.

The one where Ricky replaces the towel holder in a lady's bathroom is pretty great also.
