Happy Birthday Mocking Music! Casey Dorrell

Perhaps you've heard. Today is one of Canada's biggest holidays, Mocking Music Day (sometimes referred to as Canada Day). In a confusing Historical Anomoly, M&M's Truck of Booze Arrives for the Charlottetown Conference in September of 1864 In celebration of over 100 years of us, cities all throughout Mocking Music's home country, Canada, are holding huge concerts, fireworks shows, and basically consuming massive quantities of alcohol. The annual sacrificial ritual of lowering the national iq through alcohol consumption replaced the crop burning and livestock sacrifices offered to Mocking Music that were the norm until the early 1920s. Depleting brain cells is performed in recognition of the country's collective intellectual inadequacy when compared with the sheer brilliance of national folk-heroes, Casey and Geoff. Mocking Music, of course, has only been a website for a short time, but our cultural influence began long ago. On June 20, 1868, a proclamation was signed by then Governor General, Lord Mock (sometimes mistakeningly remembered as Monck). The proclamation demanded all Her Majesty's subjects throughout the country to celebrate the anniversary of the union of British North America (dubbed Canada) on July 1st. Something made possible by the duo then known simply as M&M who provided liquor both in Quebec and Charlottetown meetings. Casey (left) and Geoff (right) in Their Early Candy Representations As the fame of M&M grew, the original intent of celebrating both Canada and Geoff & Casey was soon dilluted as our cultural significance ballooned beyond that of the state. Though Mocking Music continued providing alcohol until the end of the prohibition years, we also branched out creating countless corporations (The candy being the most famous) and mocking innumberable bands. The celebrations, naturally, have changed throughout the years and were officially changed from "Canada Day" to "Mocking Music Day" on October 27, 1982, July 1st. Here's to several hundred more years of basking in our brilliance (and accidential alliteration).
