Infomaniac Trailer Park


We Canadians are enjoying our annual long May Two-Four Weekend aka Victoria Day.

You’ll find us enjoying the great outdoors in campgrounds and trailer parks (known in the U.K. as caravan parks).

So that you Infomaniac Bitches can enjoy the May Two-Four Weekend along with us, Mistress MJ has created the Infomaniac Trailer Park.

Choose a trailer (caravan) from the list below. (Photos are numbered for your convenience.)

Are you ready?

Let’s go caravan shopping!

May Two-Four Weekend

Canadians are loading up their beer coolers this weekend, firing up their barbecues, and Monday night the sky will be alight with fireworks.






Every year on the Monday on or before May 24th (Queen Victoria’s birthday) we Canucks have a statutory holiday. (Yes, I know it’s not a statutory holiday in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island but the rest of us have Monday off…ha!)

Victoria Day is officially the Sovereign's birthday here regardless of who’s currently occupying the throne.

In England you celebrate it in June.

The Aussies confuse the issue by having two different dates to celebrate the Queen’s birthday. Most of Australia celebrates in June but Western Australia celebrates it on the Monday nearest September 30th.

But back to the beer.

We Canucks refer to this long weekend as THE MAY TWO-FOUR WEEKEND. Not because Queen Victoria was born on May 24th but because beer is often bought in cases of 24, referred to as a "two-four". *

Question to you foreigners: Do you have a beer fridge in your back yard or is it just us?

Take note of how we Canadians become quite giddy over the May Two-Four weekend as this heralds the coming of warm weather.

Watch as our highways become congested as we head out to open our cottages (also referred to as “camp” in some parts of the country.)

Laugh at us as we inevitably fall flat on our faces from the excess that results when Canadians combine booze with a long weekend.

Okay, where’s my beer, eh?



And so ends our cultural lesson for the day.

Happy May Two-Four!
