Some of my favourites include:

Is this the real life? Is this just Battersea?

The girl with colitis goes by.

Did you exchange, a walk-on part in the war for a negro in a cage?

Four candles. (and many more from the same sketch)

And, of course,

Scuse me while I kiss this guy

which is pretty much where we came in.

Just found this one:

Did they get you to train your hero's ghosts
Hot assholes for trees,
Hot air full of cool breeze,
Cold comfort for change.
Did you exchange a walking cane in the war
For a tadpole in a cave?

Brilliant, but I rather doubt that it's genuine. Too good to be true, IMO.

The Canadian National Anthem "alternate version" actually makes a lot of sense, especially around this time of year.

With respect to the U.S. anthem, I'm still trying to figure our just what kind of illuminatory phenomenon a "donzerly light" is.
