Question: what are some (a) lyrics of Gord's that tickle your funny bone :lol: and/or (b) some joke he's made on stage that did likewise?
I got to thinking about this because I find the spectacle of Downie, the famous author of obscure and mysterious lyrics, referring to himself as a 'cloud of octopus ink' kind of amusing.

I'm trying to figure out where it's from...I heard it not so long ago...it's a great bootleg, too, so if it's as "unknown" as it seems, I wouldn't mind spreading the joy!
One of The "Happy Stupid Day" (Canada Day) there's a thing he does before Cordelia.
In high voice, very quickly
"who was that girl you went out what was the name of that girl you went out with"
in his regular voice, regular speed
"I'd just like to say"
"Welcome to Molsonia"
"I've got an new...I've decided to change the name"
"Happy....Happy Stupid Day"
"Huh? It's good! Happy Stupid day! Alright!"
"We could have our own motto 'who the hell are we kidding'? Country Motto"
"Another referendum question. If someone important asks you something about something important do you answer it strictly because you feel important?"
"This is Cordelia"
I'm sure some of you recognize that from my former sig
And then there's the boot I've got where he's talking about the Skydiggers and he says one of them says he looks like William Lyon Mackenzie and then he pauses and uses one of my personal favorite funny words. Bastard. I looked WLM up and when Gord had the facial hair the really BAD homeless guy look, he did look like WLM! LOL!

Don't tell me that they're anti-social.
Somehow not anti-social enough.
Not particularly funny, I just always thought it was very clever.

And Grooveless' priceless Gordie gag seems to be in the style of a lymeric. Am I wrong?

"I played 'I want to fuck you' by DOA on the day that you were born"
The infamous "pisses me off" interview with Bill from Much Music
Any answer to an audience question usually makes me lose it

I remember one I heard from an old boot I have. Gord makes reference about evolving from apes from eating bugs and leaves, to walking upright, to wearing assless chaps and how redundent it is, to standing in a court of law. It has been one of my favorites every since the first time I heard it and I've always imagined Gord falling or tripping on stage triggering him into this great rant. Can any one confirm it or add more detail?
