Example 2:

Hmm, yeah, and while I'm at it:
Wheat Kings - We'll Go Too - Scared - Visions of Johanna (Bob Dylan)
Dylan:
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
Downie's museums have similar connotations. Hmmm..... I think Gord refers to and borrows from other lyric writers more often than people realize.
3 pistols - the bear - lake fever.......... algonquin park.
butts wigglin' -------------> the completists ----------> a beautiful thing ---------> one night in copenhagen

yeah, back before you could just walk down to canadian tire, it was quite common to use horse shit as hockey pucks.
indeed, although, i don't see why people didn't just cut a piece of tree branch off for a wooden puck, seems like it would be better than poop, although i've never played with poop, so i guess i wouldn't know :lol:.

and there were always big fights to see who had to be the goalie.
he shoots! hits the post! and the puck sticks to the post! :lol:
I've always like the stripper references...Thompson girl, freckled breasts, stripper coughing, there's more but I don't have time...I'll take suggestions from the audience.
Shakespeare references... Cordelia, Problem Bear ("Shakespeare, you're a drunken savage...).
After that... uh, I got nothin'.
