Some one remarked to me that I must be really happy since I've always been very gung ho for my country. I just kinda laughed withe embarassement and left it at that. Then later I was thinking about it (while listening to a country station of course) and came up with this mostly biographical parody... "I Was Canadian When Candian Wasn't Cool" By Cara Kozack (to the tune of I was Country When Country Wasn't Cool by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan) I remember wearing maple leaf backpacks, Zellers clothes even when they were dorky I remember signing with Anne Murray on the radio when folk was really rare And I was list'ning to the CBC when all my friends were diggin' Howard Stern and American Pop. I was Canadian when Canadian wasn't cool I remember watching indie film, singin' the anthem, turnin' down Hollywood I remember when no one was list'ning, whispering eh after my words I took a lot of kiddin' cause I was such a canuck Now look at everybody trying to be what I was way back I was Canadian when Canadian wasn't cool Ooo I was Canadian when Canadian wasn't cool.... I was Canadian from my touque down to my boots Now I still act and look the same, what you see ain't nothin' new.... I was Canadian when Canadian wasn't cool... They called us loonie lovers for stickin' to our nation I'm just glad we're in a country where we're all free to choose I was Canadian when Canadian wasn't cool I was cheered for the leafs, habs and oilers when my friends all put them down I was Canadian when Canadian wasn't cool... - -- Cara Kozack It's a reference to a _______ that you've never even heard of by\in a ______ that you probably don't even like. fruomffan@xoommail.com http://fly.to/cjkk ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 01:44:13 -0500 (CDT) From: Lynne Subject: Darien Lake Review Did I miss someone mentioning that they are filming the Sad Girl video at 1:30pm on Monday in Toronto?

Rachel, you KNOW I was getting into that music (if anyone knows what it was, please tell me so that I can buy the CD!) and I resent your lack of enthusiasm for the classic "Pedro Martinez" and the song about stuffing one's face with fish and fried dough.

Here's a gal who's affinity to Canadian cinema got her some heat in film school (in Québec). Not to mention that Kath and I were the only two people in our programme to wear maple leaf things (and we would) when everybody else was a fervent separatist. Even teachers would tease us. I've been wanting a maple leaf tattooed for at least four years. For even longer than that my favourite holiday has been Canada Day, especially when spent in Ottawa.

I was under the impression from the information given on here (ammf) that tickets were buy one get one free, just by showing up at the gate.[1] Well, in the fashion of my father who always makes sure my family is at the airport 3 hours before a flight, I decided to call and confirm that. So, I just called the Darien Lake info number thing. I talked to an operator person there. She said that tickets this weekend are buy one get one free *with* a coupon from mcdonald's. I know I'm not the first person who said "I just talked to someone from Darien Lake and they said..." so you can do what you want with this information. If its right, I can see it causing some confusion tomorrow morning so I thought I should at least let everyone know what I was told. Jeff 1. I can't believe I'm using a stupid footnote, but: note that this was just the impression I had. If I missed the magical post that explained everything about Darien Lake and the meaning of life, forgive me. :) - -------------------------------------- Jeff Dallien gobo@fc.another.net Gobo on #moxyfruvous - -------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: 22 May 2000 16:19:46 GMT From: mocksie@aol.com (Mysterious Mocksie) Subject: one more on Darien Lake Did someone also forget to mention the pyrotechnics during Disco Video?
