Sorta. :laugh:

If you've seen the 1970 movie, Goin' Down The Road (http://imdb.com/title/tt0065788/), you'll get the most out of the following, but if you haven't... Then you're one of many, so don't feel bad. I personally don't like it; my dad thinks it's the best movie ever made. :shrug:

Anyway! The discussion about voices & accents in the spring ahead thread made me think of this. It's from SCTV (I know, I know, here I go again), and they really lay on the Newfie and Canadian accents. Garth & Gord & Alice & Fiona (lol) is, of course, a parody of the aforementioned Goin Down the Road... If there's a better summary of the movie, I have yet to see it. :p

(It's in two parts, blah. The second part is the best. Dere's a mouse in da hoos...)

EDIT: Did you know my quote comes from a Mary Walsh (aka Marg) CBC comedy called "Hatching, Matching, and Dispatching"?

I actually haven't even heard of that show. But I looked it up, and I recognize Mark McKinney's name. He was in Snow Cake!
