Killerwhaletank vs. Frogman - fingernailsonhull - 09-17-2004

I was intrigued by the Opiated vs. Locked thread, so I started thinking about this one. Two of the most famous bootlegs of NOIS are the ones with the Killerwhaletank and Frogman rants in the middle. So which is better? The one where Gord is attacked and his arm ripped off by Bartholomew, or the one where Gord is an underwater dude for the cops who rescues people who let the water fill up to the roof of their car for pressure reasons?

Confusedcratch: Uhh...why ask this question? Both are great. 'Nuff said.

Hey nothing wrong with a little discussion right? Personally I'd take Frogman, I crack up every time he says, "Honey, the ferry takes way too long, let's go right across the ice, it'll be much faster!"

Gotta be KWT ... just too classic.

Do you think the Aquarium with Lots of Money from the Goverment was part of the Groupaction debacle?

Ya, I guess that aquarium was flying Canadian flags or something. Haha.

Don't you mean Highway Girl?

When I listen to Frogman the rant starts out very funny, but the ending of the it is kind of weak. Whereas KWT builds up and kicks you in the ass. So my vote is with KWT. Though I have to agree with gibby and say that the double suicide monologue is THE standard.

I really like Frogman, mainly because of the personal connection. In Kingston, there is a ferry that goes to Wolfe Island (about a 20 minute ride), however every winter, right next to the Pump House Steam Museum, people try to drive across the frozen lake. The line, "Honey, the ferry takes way too long, let's go right across the ice, it'll be much faster!" was said by my father to my mother on numerous occasions in the early 80's - and I thank my mother every day that she had the strength/wisdom to convince my father that although the ferry may be slower, the ride is much safer.

Frogman gets my vote! :thumb:

That's hilarious Chris! I remember as a kid growing up in Brockville and seeing tire tracks on the frozen-over St. Lawrence and thinking how cool it would be to actually drive on the river. Of course by the time I turned 16 and got my own car I didn't think it would be so cool. :lol:

I love killerwhaletank, but Frogman is hillarious...that's my favourite.

- lord brazle - 09-17-2004

Even though both are friggin outstanding.... Killerwhaletank gets my vote.... but...

DOUBLE SUICIDE IS THE BEST OUT OF EVERY RANT I'VE HEARD!

(If you disagree, you are stupid) Tongue

- fingernailsonhull - 09-17-2004

I think you're right - definitely. Double Suicide is the best rant. Was someone saying earlier something about Locked starting as a test song in the middle of NOIS or Highway Girl? Anymore info on that?

- clearlyentranced - 09-18-2004

The double suicide rant IS locked.

- gratts99 - 09-18-2004

as with alot of earlier rants, they eventually made their ways into songs or parts of songs.
