I was tellin a friend of mine that 1 of the coolest thingz I've seen on the Ship was this little ditty by Canuck Courage aka Mark, and thought I'd dig it out for yall who've not been here as long as some, don't mean to put you on the spot Mark,but It's DAM COOL!!! :thumb:

Thanks Merle, and that's exactly what it looked like the first time I submitted it, I recommend it for anyone wanting to obsess for 3 hours. Once I figured out that the preview of my post and the actual post had a different amount of characters, i corrected it , but i'm sure i could have found something better to do with my time.What the hell..but once I started I couldn't stop. :mrgreen:

I believe this actually comes from an old, old group from the 50's and 60's called The Kingston Trio - who I think were from California.
It is from the album listed above

It's an old bluegrass standard. The Kingston Trio is one of several groups that recorded it, but I don't know who wrote it.

Ruby

Ruby, Ruby
Honey are you mad at your man

I will set you in the shade
Shovel with my spade
Digging in the Brown Coal Mine

* Refrain

I've done all I can do
To get along with you
Still you're not satisfied

* Refrain

If you don't believe I'm right
Then follow me tonight
I'll take you to my shanty so cold

* Refrain

Just as Fire In The Hole is an old folk standard...I love how Gord interjects classic but obscure references as direct quotes like that. It really makes you want to explore his roots and inspirations more!

Hey fellow hipsey's, anyone know what kind of ice cream das hip like? I'm going to see them in burlington (VT) and work at an ice cream factory and was thinking of taking some for the boys. I figure if I bring a big enough box and leave it with first roadie I find it should get to them eventually. Any clues?

OK, this is a useless question... How tall are they? From the pics I've seen, it looks like Paul, Gord S. and Johnny are all about the same height, with Rob and Gord towering over them. Also, sometimes Rob looks huge, sometimes Gord looks taller. Which one's taller?

BTW, I'm average height. :wink:

Gord Downie is rather tall.
Which confused me for years.
I would see pictures of him and me, or him and my friends and I always thought he should be taller.
And then last year we ran into him again and I watched him take a picture with someone and I saw him crouch down to be the same height as the person in the picture - and I went Ah Ha!
So as an answer to your question, I have no clue.

[rowdy-raddi]

im not positive but i think ive read that Gord D is around 6'1? ive met Rob once and i was able to get a picture with him. he was about my height if not a shade taller and im standin 5'10 , 5'11 depending on my ego lol.
as for the rest of them im not too sure.


**edit** after taking a look at said picture. rob is definitely more than just a "shade" taller than me so if i were to wager a guess id say 6'2 because he also got a pic with my buddy and theyre the same height in it.

[hipnosis]

they are reeeeeeeeally tall. I am 5'5 1/2" and when I took a pic with Gord he had to like crouch down and lean in close in order to get his head in the picture. hahahah and my friend who went with me who is like around 6'0" was still shorter than both Rob and Gord.. they are tall men! I felt like such a dwarf. |>.<|





here's a clue on how tall Johnny and Gord are:
