draining the moat

v. phrase. British expression for emptying one's bladder. Also a sexual euphemism.

.....................................................................................
Thanks awfully for the cucumber sandwiches my lady but I fear it is now time for draining the moat.

Sorry?

I need to take my corgi for a walk.

Pardon?

It's time to get my valet to lower my trouserings so I may lift my drawbridge and take care of the teathings.

Are you coming on to me?

No my majesty!

Pity.

fussbudget

n. money required to fund repairs and clean-up after a riot, rock festival, family reunion etc. Also used with humourous intent by anarchists budgeting for rocks, balaclavas, bail, matches etc. before a riot.
I don't know why those government wanks are upset. Their fussbudget for the riot was lower than ours.

Yeah but that's because you insist on designer face masks, a film crew and imported bricks. I'm beginning to think you're not a real anarchist.

Gravelgold

place. neglected, forlorn former gold-mining town located where Alaska, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory intersect. Since the placer deposits played out in 1899 it is no longer large enough or robust enough to be officially a town. It is, in fact, currently struggling to retain its hamlet status.

Novelty stores selling fool's gold to tourists, several petting zoos featuring wounded native fauna, a convalescent hospital featuring wounded natives, a used book store and a combination first-aid staion and bicycle repair shop can be found in the optimistically-named downtown area. A knick-knack maintenance facility is slated to open out by the abandoned Malaprop Mine in 2013.

Currently gravel production is the major industry with most of the heavy work being done by the local rivers and glaciers. Sorting, bagging and marketing is done through a co-operative association in conjunction with the Canadian Gravel Board.

Although there is currently no highway into the area a variety of cutlines and logging trails provide access and egress for ATV enthusiasts while a landing strip on the river accomodates tourists in bush-planes, who mostly come for the Northern Lights Fiesta and stay for the the abandoned mines where groups of chilly kids are often trapped.

A good variety of sports such as pond hockey, river hockey and lake hockey keep the locals amused. A school is in the planning stages and amateur theatrics are staged at the Generals Store most month-ends.
Never mind Anchorage. This weekend we should visit Gravelgold. We could maybe go to a petting zoo and visit that cantankerous author who lives in the woods near there.

Have you had a Rabies shot?

No, but he has ... so we should be safe.

naughty cash

n. money used, or earmarked, for wild sprees, sex toys, trips to Vegas etc.
I just got to sell my husband's signed football collection and I'll have enough naughty cash and penicillin money to make next weekend rock.

Red Deer

place. Small Canadian city nestled between oil wells gushing rich prosperity onto the upturned faces of the throngs of happy citizens who have a tendency to thank God and vote slightly right wing. Rebels hockey rules in winter. Swatting flying bugs rules in summer. Dinosaurs are under the ground but they are deep enough that nobody gets hurt.

Do you feel like going to Red Deer this weekend?

No. Not really.

leapstand

n. radical skateboarding trick in which the boarder leaps upwards, does a back flip, and lands on the board in a handstand.
Dude! After this truck goes by I'm going to try an ollieollieoxenfree into a leapstand. You be ready to dial 911.

Sluiceville

place. Withered town relying on rock-hound tourism to keep afloat. The kindness of strangers pays the wages at the Food and Fuel Emporium as well as Hiram's Hostelry and the trickle-down effect stops the leakage of young adults to the sleaze of the bigger towns in the Greater Gravelbend Region.

Rock collectors and iron pyrite enthusiasts congregate at the sluiceworks where steam-driven donkey-pumps have been keeping the tailings dry since 1846 when the gold ran out.

A new high fence is being hastily constructed upstream from town.

Cheese making and quilt pressing are now the main cottage-industries along with whittlin' likenesses of Grover Cleveland, who was born just up the river.

A gravel-slide that destroyed the saltine factory is surmounted by a cairn constructed of imported pebbles brought to the site by pilgrims after a local trapper had a dream in which he was commanded to build an edifice of stones to commemorate the disaster.

Aleuts have recently built a new seasonal encampment upstream from town.

..............................
Let's take some pebbles up to Sluiceville to build up the cairn a bit. We could get the quilt pressed too if the line isn't too long.
