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.

n. any badly executed radical skateboarding trick that results in the boarder lying prostrate across a car hood and, by extension, any fouled-up trick, corporate merger, blind date, major intra-abdominal operation etc.
Yo dude! Did you hear that Natalie totally untwisted a choledochoduodenotomotic anastamosis so it wasn't a total hoodsmash?
Was she on her unicycle at the time? I'm just saying, 'cause that would have been totally awesome.

Dude! Like did you hear man? I totally did a drifter in the skatepark yesterday!
Hmmm. I'm not sure that's something to crow about. Oh! You mean the skater move.
Actually, no.

place. Refreshing Canadian village untouched by time, grime or crime.
Situated on a gravelly glacial morraine just out of sight of the majestic Rocky mountains and very close to the rich fertile earth of Benalto Eckville's lack of oil deposits have kept it from the neo-industrialisation that has despoiled much of Alberta. Eckvillians, untouched by the trappings of ostentatious wealth displayed by their consanguinous neighbours in Benalto, revel in their Amish-like attachment to aging wooden vehicles and small poultry holdings. Nestled in their wooded canyon, well-served by an ice-highway in winter and government motor-sled service in summer, Eckville has become a haven for performance artists, accordian troupes and genetically modified geese enthusiasts.
A very camp "Bavarian Lawn Ornament Festival" featuring displays of Austrian Gnomes and Miniature Jockeys is held at the Putsch Hall in even-numbered years and usually attracts a good number of older germanic gentlemen holding boldly decorated beer steins and youg busty-blausen co-eds with shaved heads.
Clubs devoted to hunting elk, pond hockey, rock sorting, gravel amassing and duck breeding help to keep the populace amused through the long winters.
The long-planned Holocaust Memorial is on hold, since the needed permits have been denied, but a new windshield chip repair shop will open in the fall of 2012 to provide some needed jobs and bring some outsiders off the road.

I'm nearly out of gas Sophie. Why don't we drive a few miles off the beaten path and get some gas and a few bags of gravel in Eckville?
Good choice Saul! If we're lucky the Rock Festival is this weekend.

place. Amusingly named hamlet in Saskatchewan, Canada known as a waystop on the trail to Saskatoon and as the birthplace of four-a-side lassies ice curling. Aboriginal influences were never quite extinguished by the European influx thus Biggar retains a cross-cultural flair that attracts tourists, Scandanavian ethnographers and geneologists.
Grain farming and grain farming remain the primary industries although many music teachers work there, part-time nursing positions abound and the Adult Theatre Group has a steady audience for their original shows and endless Godspell adaptations.

"New York may be large and smelly, but Biggar isn't better!"
No. I don't think that should go up on the sign.
How about "New York is big ... but this is Biggar!"
That's better.

Check out Rebecca. Methinks she's been spending a lot of time at that new stretch market.

2) v. sexual euphemism.

Yo! Dude! Check out the Great Dane! Time for a milk the goat! Wanna watch?
