Frank 

place. Tiny Village in Alberta blessed with an abundance of enormous picturesque boulders that make it the "Stonehenge" of the Rocky Mountains. What is the meaning of the odd arrangements? How did the simple people move the enormous stones? Aliens? Why did this advanced civilisation die out?

These, and other mysteries are not addressed at a Government Interpretive Centre. Conspiracy?

Abandoned coal mines abound: ideal for family excursions, or climb the famous "groaning" Turtle Mountain.

......................................................................................

Look at all the boulders! How did they move them? And why did they build their dwellings beneath them? To understand you have to think like the ancient village itself.

You're not going to be Frank are you?

Yes. Yes I am.

pulling a pope

v. To quit unexpectantly. Also a sexual act.

.......................................................................................

Where's Yvonne? We're about to open. She isn't pulling a pope is she?

Yeah. She phoned in. She doesn't feel that her fading spirit will allow her to continue here in the sort of capacity that is required.

She knows she's just a bar maid? Right?

Lethbridge 

place. Small Albertan town nestled in a small gorge in the centre of a parched featureless plain. Home to a good variety of second-hand shops and discount tire dealers but lacking any connection to the vibrant stone-quarrying industry that has placed Cardston on the map.

Home to the Broncos ice-curling team and twice voted Canacian Prairie Town of the Year.

......................................................................................

Let's stop in Lethbridge and scrape these grasshopper bodies off the windshield.

proxy let down 

n. A feeling of despair felt as a result of the failure of one's favourite team etc. The failure is felt on a deeply personal level despite one's lack of contribution.

......................................................................................

Yo. What's with the black armband.

I just feel so terrible today. I thought I gave it all I had. I tried to leave everything on the couch. I wore my team jersey, painted my face, bought a bumper sticker. I should have done more. I feel like I've let everybody down.

It's just proxy let down my man. Next season get some vintage jerseys for your kids and a recliner in the team colours.
