Canberra

place. Australian resort town with plenty of elbow room and a sheila on every arm. Too right mate! Foster rooms abound on the kanga tracks and drovers watch cricket all the bleeding night!. Makes Sydney look like a Wally's wedding!

Home to the Shepherds! Only the best Aussie Rules side ever!

Canberra Canberra Canberra Ho! Jumbuck's spit it's time to go!

Do you even like Aussie Rules mate? Or do you just like drinking?

kateriffic

adj. tremendous; crumpetly splendid; rippingly good in a wholesome British way. Usually said satirically.
I say. I possess box seats for the cricket match tonight. It would be ever so bosh if you could accompany me. The purveyed comestibles hold promise of fortnumish delight.

Sounds like kateriffic katering! I'll have my amenuensis wire your manservant if I'm free.

Stony Plain

place. Canadian "city" solidly cemented to Edmonton's rock-strewn flank . Devoid of pretensions, quarries and night life, Stony Plain has been poised to be "the next big thing" in Upper West Central Alberta for over 125 years. Churches, bingo halls, outdoor tractor pulls, indoor gravel assessment bazaars, and a squeegee factory slated for opening in 2014, are all bringing unwanted attention to the area which is quietly trying to slide into the yielding topsoil.

Hockey, soccer and table tennis are all sports watched on TV in Stony Plain where HBO is just a dream.

No community hosts a slo-pitch tournament like Stony Plain.

Well there's something to be thankful for.

hullaballo

n. pointlessly long, involved, noisy celebration over trivial victory in marginalised sport or activity.
Now that the University of Lethbridge has won the Canadian women's rugby championship I imagine there'll be a Pronghorn hullaballo that'll make Taylor Swift's album launch look like a NASCAR truck race victory party.

It ain't a real hullaballo until the geriatric strippers arrive! That's what I'm sayin'! Word up!

Florididian

Adj. Having the characteristics of Florida i.e. full of warmth, splendor, and ostentatious oppulence with a touch of violent danger.
All we need is some Stingrays in the pool and some naked foosball to make this party truly Florididian!

By "Stingrays" do you mean the deadly poisonous aquatic animals or the 1960's Chevrolet corvettes?

Either way man! What are you ... a pedant or something? Just load them in there before Lebron walks out.

corn brooming

v. keeping the path of one's friend or boss clear of obstacles. Originally used in ice curling to indicate the action of sweeping gravel, beer bottles and other debris off the action lane where the hammer rock is flung by the harrier.

..............................
This is my birthday party so when we get to this club I am expecting to get a lot of corn brooming from you ladies.

Hey. Could I get a little corn brooming here? This is only an important presentation.

Red Deer

place. Sparklingly clean, relatively disease free city cleverly placed between Edmonton and Calgary in the hub of the buried oil and dinosaurs belt. Home to many of the prettiest nurses on the planet and home to more country themed bars than is really sensible.

Red Deer was visited after the last ice-age by successive waves of paleolithic settlers who "kicked the tires" a bit but continued south to found empires in Mexico and Peru. Fur traders and cartographers such as Anthony Henday and David Thompson visited the area but also moved on. Finally a city was founded by Leonard Gaetz, a failed minister and successful land speculator who convinced the local natives to live in reduced circumstances to the west.

Oil is present in abundance and the wealth from it, and from grain growing, cheese production, gravel sifting, and ashphalt storage enriches the populace and makes them feel special ... very special.

Curling bonspiels, hockey tournaments, travelling to warmer climates and endlessly discussing ski wax keep the locals amused through the long cold winters.

Summers are filled with street art festivals featuring clown juggling and, often, heavy drinking.

The Red Deer river cuts through rocky strata that hold thousands of dinosaur fossils that begin to lose their magic after you have seen an eyefull.
Do you want to visit Red Deer and see the latest T. rex skeleton?

Is it a siamese twin or something, because otherwise I'd rather catch the sled dog race on TV.
