Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted July 5, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted July 5, 2004 very funny, and confusing, at least to me. whats a poutine? canadian tire money? I never ate poutine (I think it's Burnsy's favourite though) It consists of french fries, gravy & cheese curds Canadian Tire Money is money is given to you every time you purchase something at Canadian Tire. Most people just stick it in their glove compartment or such. I remember once my dad collected all his and he had over $100. That's quite an achievent since they only give you something like 10 cents on the dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebarman Posted July 5, 2004 #16 Share Posted July 5, 2004 (edited) Does that mean you want them?? I'll happily send them to you, except the one with "Summer of '69" on it, what a classic!! And here's the BEST way to sing it.....thebarman style: I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it till my fingers bled It was the summer of '69 (Que air guitar) Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shoulda known we'd never get far (Begin head banging here) Oh when I look back now That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life (Hug nearest person to you and jump frantically in the air going: do dah dah do dah dah do dah dah nah nah, do dah dah do dah dah do dah dah nah nah, Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in And that's when I met you yeah! (Begin head banging again) Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that you'd wait forever Oh and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Back in the summer of '69 (Scream: ooooooh yeah) Man we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no (Hug nearest person again and begin to sway) And now the times are changin' Look at everything that's come and gone Sometimes when I play that old six-string I think about ya wonder what went wrong (...and frantic head banging again) Standin' on your mama's porch You told me it would last forever Oh the way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Back in the summer of '69 and it looks a little like this...and no I have no idea who that girl is: Edited July 5, 2004 by thebarman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
