(Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

You know you've been listening to to much Gord when.........

Someone asks you how your life's going and you alway say,"My life is an "Endless Wire". LOL!

You're always afraid at "Sundown" 'cause you think
someone's creepin' round your backstairs! :headbang:

You confuse your infant while teaching it to walk by saying,"Baby Step Back" :confused:



(Okay,what can you guys come up with?) ;)

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

I will have to ponder this one B. But, it does sound like it will be fun.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

- When you tip your gin bottle back till it's gone
- When you're bent, but not broken
- When you're down on your luck, as a matter of fact, you've even been chased
- when you take time to make town, to stock a pint or two
- When you'd storm the gates of hell itself, for a taste of a mermaid's tail
- and when you ask someone to "say hello from someone" but with no need to explain

I could go on and on, but I'll leave some for everyone else. Looking forward to Aurora, IL on Sept 16th.

Take care, everyone.

You know you've been listening to too much Gord when you ask for the Seven Island Suite & the desk clerk looks at you like you're nuts.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

you enter your teenage son's room and start humming "Cobwebs and Dust".

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Someone ask, how's the weather ? And you reply, Clouds are gatherin' o'er my head.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

(Really) I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day !

Maybe three will do the trick, LOL

Bill :)

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

When it feels real good t'be..
stranded on yer own..

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Tim,Jesse,RM,Sue & Timetraveler those are hilarious! :biggrin: Luv'em!! ;)

You open up your refrigerator and write on the temp. control "Ten Degrees and Getting Colder" :rolleyes:

You always sing,"Gotta Get Away" during chase scenes on TV shows & movies! :D

Every year on your wedding anniversary,you and your better half always use "Love and Maple Syrup".... literally!! :eek:

Concert Tour for 2008
 

Does anyone have any dates for concerts in 2008? Thanks

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

... When your car breaks down in the winter at the side of the road, and you tell the AAA man to please hurry, because it's "Cold on the Shoulder".

Or when someone asks how you are, you reply "Fine as Fine Can Be".

Re: Concert Tour for 2008
 

nothing yet but keep this handy:

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

when somebody says "How are you" or "ca va" and you reply
"The Way I feel is like a robin whose babes have flown"
or that you like to look
"Always on the bright side
Keeps it kind of light
That girl gets friendlier each day"
Or when every night you dream
"Of an old schooner flying down a sky that's overcast"
and you get
"the restless yearning of those geese as off they roam
Then trade that for a warm bed and a place I can call home"
As Tim said I could go on and on
excellent game Tim
very well thought up
you're rivalling Stationmaster Lorne already!
And as a further answer to Brenna1
It's a fairly safe bet that Wayne Francis will post the dates as soon as they are known on a new page on his site that is not yet even in existance:-
http://www.lightfoot.ca/2008.htm
I would anticipate that the first entries (as rumoured) will be a Massey Hall "season" sometime in May 2008
In addition it is quite possible that by the time dates are available Meredith will have progressed with her fledgeling site:-
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/6526/goodcopyzr1.png
http://www.gordon-lightfoot.net entitled
{Gordon-Lightfoot [DOT] Net} ; Your #1 Official Source For All Things Lightfoot!
and where her claim is that:-
"Gordon-Lightfoot.net is the most updated and visited site for Gordon Lightfoot in the world! With tons of news, updates,
pictures and more!"
So far I see no link to a concerts/tour page but no doubt that will follow so bookmark her site along with Wayne's page
John Fowles

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

I think Mer's a little busy doing teenage stuff to spend a lot of time on her website but will add to it little by little.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Right John, excellent game, although, it was Borderstone who started it.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Thanks brink. :) I think John was saying I'm rivaling Stationmaster for clever game concepts. ;)

To continue: You go to a demolition derby and take over tha annoucer's booth to sing,"Race Among The Ruins". :D

You drift into a chourus of "The House You Live In" while reading The Three Little Pigs to your kid!

You assume everyone who cheats on their lover has an "Affair on Eigth Avenue"

and also,at the end of saying your prayers,instead of "Amen" you say,"Forgive Me Lord" for I have sinned.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

you're teaching your child how to tie their shoes, and utter "put it together, don't let it slip".

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

For so many years Gord has always been able to pinpoint what is going on inside my head. He recently scored a direct hit when he announced that there was just "clouds of empty space."

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

When you awoke this morning, something inside of you told you this would be your day....

But, your pony won't go.

You keep thinking you heard someone stir... you're afraid there's a man behind you with a gun.

You wonder if there's such a thing as a Jewish Island.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Well B this is a great game and it is nice to see someone having fun in the forum. I hope you get to the 1000 post! I have been really busy lately, not much time to spend on-line.

"You know you've been listening to to much Gord when...."

...you can never listen to too much Gord! ;)

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

You're asked if you enjoy going to the movies and you reply,"If you ask me I'll Tag Along".

You actually get the "Steel Rail Blues" on long train trips.

You let a faucet run trying to see if there's a "Bend In The Water".

and when you win money you "Coo" and go "Chi-ching!!" LOL!

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

When pretty girls are your "Inspiration Ladies"

When you see a cop pass by, you say 'It feels so good knowin' "The Watchman's Gone"

If you climb a latter and your hot and thirsty, you consider yourself "High And Dry"

When you watch a sale on TV, you instantly listen for "The Auctioneer" (I've really done this)

When you feel like having pancakes, you say to yourself 'I feel like having some "Love And Maple Syrup"

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

"BETTY CALLED ME IN" to tell me that she "GOTTA GET AWAY" cause she is "RESTLESS" and tired of looking at the four "WALLS". I replied, "BABY IT'S ALRIGHT" cause "IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND", you would see that we were "NEVER TOO CLOSE". She glared back at me with those "BITTER GREEN" eyes and said, "that's it, I'm "MOVIN'!" Make "NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT", "SOMETIMES I WISH" that I could make "CHANGES" to my "UNSETTLED WAYS", but listening to Gord is "ALL I'M AFTER". "MUCH TO MY SURPRISE", she came back at "SUNDOWN" with an "APOLOGY". I said "BABY IT'S ALRIGHT" but "YOU JUST GOTTA BE" more understanding about the "WAY I FEEL". Gord is the "BOSS MAN" and I will listen to him for the "END OF ALL TIME"

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Fabulous Lorne!!

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Hey Brinkley it's been a long time. I think I still owe you a CD insert! ;)

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

I'm back,sorry I've been busy as well.

Next!: You think you're "soooo cool" by calling your cars hubcaps a "Circle of Steel".

Whenever there's news story about Britany,Kevin Federline,Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton you hope the anchor ends the story with "...It's much Too Late For Prayin'".

Your Dr. asks about your health and istead of just telling him,you sing "The Way I Feel"

and...I listen so long I actually start thinking Borderstone is about myself! :eek:

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

did you receive the one I sent???

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Yes I did thank-you! Did he ask why he had to sign it stationmaster?

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

I told him the story, it was during the time you did Picture that Song. When did you get it? I was very sad that you didn't get it, it was many weeks or months at least. I thought it lost forever. Very glad that you received it, I bet you thought I was fibbing when I said I sent it. That was two years ago!! Borderstone got his less than a week after Gord signed it.
You do owe me an insert!

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Someone asks you, upon your return from a garden/flower show, how it was, and you reply "I've seen a rose, watching it all fold out."

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Hey all. :) I'm back,so here goes.

You take "Song For A Winter's Night" literally and only play it during
Mid- December,January and February and the first 20 days of March! :headbang:

You rent the Katharine Hepburn movie "Morning Glory",expecting to hear Gordon's
song in it! :rolleyes:

and!!!.....The IRS accuses you of tax fraud and you smoothly reply,"Now ya know I don't write no bad checks." :biggrin: LOL!

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

Very good Walter. Maybe if I keep working at it I will be able to play this game too. I was starting to get it last week hanging around with Kerstin and Kathy but I haven't worked on it this week. Oh well, there are just some things I am not very good at. Keep up the good work.

When you're asked to say grace before a meal & you reply that there's No Time For Praying.

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

A friend is watching General Hospital and says the actors are "hot",you reply,
"So? ...You can even find them on The Young And The Restless too".

You think playing the song "Romance" is all you'll ever need to "set the mood".

You relentlessly drive up & down Carefree Highway trying to find " Ann's " address!! :biggrin:

and....you panic when a clock strikes midnight because you think it's the End OF All Time. :)

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

The New Girl in the office walks by and you think...

"rubbin' the wrong girl right."

I didn't really say that did I?


Your Boss makes some comment to you about a possible raise and you wonder if...

"Its Worth Believin'"


Money is a little tight this month and your wife makes some comment about...

"Tradin' off the Martin"

And you reply...

"Baby Step Back!"

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

{lol} Right on with tradin' the Martin, and replying, "Baby Step Back"...:biggrin::)

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

I just shaved an hour ago, and yet "Ive got whiskers on my chin." :)

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

(game) I had a "Summertime Dream" to go fishing and headed to "Christian Island" which is close to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". "Uncle Toad Said" the perfect spot was just around "Cherokee Bend" and "Much To My Surprise" there in the water sat a "Redneck Loon" and baiting my "Endless Wire" and casting into the "Shadows" of the stream, reeled in the most beautiful "Rainbow Trout"!

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

You swear the contractor who is building your home said,"The House You Live In" will never fall down".

Everytime someone tells you to stop doing something,you repeat,"I'd Do it Again"!

and.....you get a girlfriend whose name actually is Jenny and you insist she only wear cotton! :biggrin:

Re: (Game)You Know You've Been Listening to Too much Gord when...
 

At one o´clock in the afternonn, after 6 lessons taught and one more to go-no breakfast, no lunch break, I often hum to myself `Just for now I´d like to rest in the shade of a maple tree..`.`My colleagues know that one by now and hum along. V.
