Funny Farm Early Morning Advisory

All these bloggers linking to the same wonderful song by the wickedly funny Eric Idle about the recent FCC ruling brought to mind an old ditty from the Great White North*'s own Gross Guys, Maclean and Maclean:

F^(% Ya

F^(% Ya, f^(% ya,
Eff Ewe See Kay Why Eh
F^(% Ya, f^(% ya,
Eff Ewe See Kay Why Eh
I really hate your f^(%in' guts
And I'd like to kick you in the nuts, so
F^(% Ya, f^(% ya,
Eff Ewe See Kay Why Eh
I really mean it....
Eff Ewe See Kay Why Eh

By the way, now that I have my own zone on the web, you can download a copy of this song right over here. !!**WARNING**!! Extremely profane language (if you don't approve of the F-word, that is) and primitive editing (I recorded the album to a wav file on the PC, then normalized the recording and ripped it to mp3) were used in the construction of this object.

Checking around a bit on the web showed me that Gary died in December 2001 of throat cancer, and Blair is making grain paintings and supporting some sort of initiative in the Peg (like, up on the frozen tundra, in Manitoba, eh?**). I hope he's doing well and I thank him for all the raunchy racist and obscene humour that he and his brother introduced me to during my formative years. I plan on releasing a couple more gems of theirs that I have rescued off of vinyl, as well as grab some more music once I get the sound studio components up and running at Computer Central. Right now it's time to get in the weekend frame of mind while checking out the incredible thunderstorms here in Pontiac and the results of their outpourings on my deck.

Stay tuned, campers. We still need to get to the morning's coffee...

*: Like, Hoser for, like, Canada, eh?

**: as a former employee of Garry Robertson Music Services (at the now defunct Toronto branch of the company back in its' heyday), I accept full responsibility for inaccurately portaying Winnipeg as being in the middle of a great big patch of frozen tundra. In fact, Winnipeg sits on a great big patch of ancient lake bed that feels like a piece of frozen tundra most of the year. How come you guys aren't like, power central, (eh?) with all those fierce winds up there? I'm sure you could stress test windpower generators in that environment.

So, like, we hope we didn't offend anybody from Winnipeg, eh?, like, when we made a (very bad) joke about it, eh?

[minor spelling and other edits. D'oh! That's what I get for posting before I get my coffee...]
