Sure.
1. :set showmode
2. Press i
3. Type the text "one\ntwo\three" (to create 3 lines of text), press escape.
4. Press shift-v, k, k, y to yank those three lines.
5. Press shift-p many (say, 20) times to paste those lines many times. 
The cursor will stay at the top of the document.
6. Press shift-g to jump to the end.
7. Press o.  For some reason, it doesn't say '-- INSERT --'.
