maybe some folks can pitch in a few suggestions each to this 'time-waster' - it's multi-inspired:

- when Deal or No Deal came to Canada, I jokingly urged Char to get on there because she was such a well-rounded Canuck and could say "eh" alot for the producers cos that's the stereotypical stuff they want...from the airing I saw they had a different group of models clad in red (imo, pretty cheesey red) outfits and had a obnoxious Mountie on there and even a guest appearance by Darryl Sittler because one contestant was a big hockey fan...anyhow, Char had her hands full of other stuff and we just never pursued any Canuck gimmick ideas and definitely didn't suggest a GL angle

- the post RMD made regarding coming up with some gimmicky numbers theme related to Gord stuff that Borderstone might pursue - apparently they recently had a Hanson fan on there...I wonder if Gord would appear after all he did the Canadian Idol appearance thing

- also inspired by the section of the extensive www.Lightfoot.ca site which lists Lightfoot Geography (http://www.lightfoot.ca/glgeog.htm)

- also inspired by Nanci's (of Sid & Nanci fame, or maybe it's Dan actually) creative GL timepiece which has different GL related number references going around an ODR (my fave) LP designating the hours from 1 to 12, for example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7 Seven Island Suite
8 Affair on Eighth Avenue
9
10 Ten Degrees and Getting Colder
11
12 East of Midnight?

maybe Char or someone else involved in the recent fundraiser raffle can recall the rest or come up with others

13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26

there are 26 numbers to cover, it it possible?


how about going all out and coming up with 26 models with GL-female-related names from songs or whatever also?

Just looking at this quickly while at work, 14 naturally has to be 14 karat Gold.

I can tell already, it will be a non productive morning at work while I daydream songs and numbers!

Ok, here's a few more.
1. Remember Me (I'm the One)
2. Second Cup of Coffee
16. Sixteen Miles

Yes, there will be no work done today! Less than a week till my next concert, so my brain is elsewhere anyway.

ok, I confess, this was soley my intent!

14K, for sure! hmm, I can't find a link to a pic of Nanci's creative clock

if we have to stretch some of them then so be it, eg:

18 = # of letters in his name (i know, pretty lame...I can already hear the banker asking Howie to have the contestant removed, lol)

i'm hoping Mr Fowles will come up with atleast 52 (26 x 2) separate links to Gord Numer-ology and Femal-ology

maybe the female name stuff has been done in some archived corfid or NG thread - is there a list of exisitng femlate names from Gord tunes? ie.

Ann
Betty
Annabelle
Jenny
Rosanne
etc

there must be 26, no?

omigoodness..I'm lucky if I remember even being there...
hmmm....I have a pic of that clock somewhere....
Richard in B.C. won it..hey Richard what time is it?
lol

I love Howie M. but don't watch any of the DEAL shows..I'm not a gambler and the clips I saw of the Canuck shows were so shlocky they should take Howie's citizenship away..the only redeeming thing was haveing Darryl Sittler on - and that's more of a Toronto factor than a Canuck one.. And Darryl Sittler is always a 'good thing'..

Well,I think 5 could be "The Minstrel of The Dawn" since 5am is when a day usually starts to get light and the birds sing (they're the minstrels).

J.J. ,I think the closest I've been to being in Canada is being born in Erie (in a smaller town within called Corry),
watching channel 11 out of Ontario
and my family visiting Niagra Falls when I was 3.

My Dad was from Niagra but on the American side.

#26 can be a line from "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald".
