The Mckenzie Brothers: Take Off,Eh!

great video, eh.

Back around 1985 I was working in a direct marketing firm. Basically we sent out junk mail and circulars and coupons and stuff by mail. I worked in the computer room, so I had to print up the labels for the mail. Usually the labels would say "RESIDENT" and have an address under it. We printed tens of thousands a day of these. To break things up one day, I substituted the word HOSEHEAD instead of resident. It was supposed to be for a test run but actually got sent out to over 10000 people!

Did I mention that my boss's boss was pissed! Actually the VP of the company. I can still remember himbringing n on the carpet saying "What were you thinking?', "What the hell is Hosehead?", Do you want to lose your job?

Funny thing was, back then at $5.50 an hour, NIGHT SHIFT, I don't think they could have done much about me!

God Bles Bob & Doug McKenzie and the memories they have made!

lol It has been so long since I have watched Bob & Doug! btw - does anyone remember the CBC reporter's anme? She is so familiar and I remember watching her but can't remember her name...it will be one of those things that bugs you eh?!

The reporter was Barbara Frum long time host of The Journal which was part of CBC's The National. She passed away in 1992

that barbara frum Poor lady died from luekemia. She was a lovely lady.

The heyday of Bob and Doug were good times. Up until the 1980s, my American fishing buddies knew so little about Canada compared to how much I knew about the US. When Bob and Doug came along and for that matter SCTV, the US media started to take some interest in their friendly neighbor to the north. Bob and Doug opened a long forgotten door where our two countries shared a lot common ground.

That was great. These guys were great

Beauty post eh!
Thanks hoser!!
