Calling all Hosers, Take off, eh!
Note: please play the bottom youtube thingy then start reading the letters, I mean words eh, you hosers.
Oh my God they’re back again! Bob & Doug are having a Two-Four Anniversary coming up this May two-four(when else eh?) on CBC and this is to be the final one, once and for all!
Check out the SCTV site and the Maclean’s article about these guys! PLEASE read the whole Maclean’s one, it is the best of them all!
These guys were HUGE in the 80’s. I remember when they came back to Toronto one time and the cops had to close down the Don Valley Parkway(DVP) for a while! The reason, thousands of well-liquored fans staged an impromptu parade up and down it! Only in Canada, eh?
The song, that I whistled at the Hospital while moving patients around the Surgical floor’s, was one that brings back fabulous memories from my childhood. You know, some of the patients that were on Morphine sang along doing the “koo, oo, oo,oo, koo, oo, oo,oo!” part and it was a BLAST! I even recall figuring out the piano parts and attempting the song live at High School, damn that Geddy Lee and his 10 octave voice!
Does anyone have a close encounter of the hoser kind out there that would love to share with us? If so, you nappy-headed hosers, get those fingers moving right now, eh?
Keep on Jammin’
BTW the wife has a post about Canadian culture and a bit about Bob and Doug too. Check it out.

It was a way of life back then! The movies were just for fun and humility is a great way to ground ya. You just have to laugh at yourself once in a while, eh?

Strange brew is classic, but my favorite Rick Moranis flick has to be Ghostbusters. Let’s hear it for the Key Master!

I almost forgot about that one.
My wife and I are not real big movie buffs but that one was good!
What ever happened to those big guns? Maybe that’s what Saddam had that got Bush’s attention. I know, that’s a bad one. I take that one back!
