Sheryl I think you meant eheheh??
I have just been googling to find any other connctions between GL and beavers
and at least I now know what beaver is slang for!!(I've led a sheltered life!!!)
I also found a pair of sites referring to
"You might be a Canadian Redneck "
with answers such as
"if you've never realized that most of the lyrics in Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald" don't rhyme.

. . . if most of your wardrobe is plaid (including hats).

. . . if you like the music of Gordon Lightfoot, Stompin' Tom, or Buffy Sainte Marie.

. . . if you know who Gordon Lightfoot, Stompin' Tom, or Buffy Sainte Marie are.

. . . if you actually like to wear a toque.

. . . if you mix French and English in the same sentence. (This only applies if you're a Francophone.)

. . . if you've ever been "out and about".

. . . if you "hang out" at Tim Horton's.

. . . if you use the words "friggin'" or "arse" or "friggin' arse! " on a regular basis.

. . . if you have a bumper sticker or an article of clothing that says "If

you're Canadian, show me your beaver."
