Hey now, eh! Hurry hard and get them sweepings off the hack ice! That tankard ain't going to draw itself to the button!

place. Placid rill-forming community on the edge of the Athabasca river in nothern Alberta. Chosen as a settlement site by the Hudson Bay Company in 1987 because of the ease with which sandstone boulders could be wrestled from the banks to anchor white-fish nets.
Home of the Weasel Scars lacrosse team, three-time NLL champs, and headquarters of the Canadian Portage Company.
Windshield-repair shops and piles of loose gravel crowd the edges of Klein Street, a dinosaur tomb attracts tourism dollars, and french lessons are available from the nubile lasses in the winter months.

The canoe feels a bit unsteady. Hop out and see if a side-paddle fell off.
I think that was just the rill as we went through Athabasca.

n. Any important ice-curling or water-polo tournament where prizes in the form of large coffee-cups are awarded for shot-rock, sweepings mvp, and top goalie. Often Canadians and Swedish folk take their elderly or infirm relatives to Briars as it is a restful form of entertainment that will not over-stimulate the senses. Traditionally women are not allowed to compete in Briars except mid-week but this is changing with the introduction of half-weight rocks. A Canada-wide briar, in which the revered Tim Horton's Coffee Tankard is awarded, is held every three years with entrants selected in a national lottery.

Are you taking your granny to the Briar in Calgary this week-end? I hear the Canadian coffee tankard is up for grabs.
No. She has to get her colostomy changed over for the winter so it don't freeze.

n. A modern city near Islamabad with a thriving economy and vibrant night life in spite of an overwhelmingly blind population. Home to a large military officer training centre, a security police academy, a large sophisticated army base, and a cadre of well known international terrorists in a well-appointed glaringly-obvious hideout.
Famous for its complex network of blind alleys and home to the Pan-Asia bronze medal winning Hide-and-Seek team this modern metropolis, nestled in the fog-shrouded mountains of North East Pakistan, has recently almost seen the opening of yet another factory to manufacture the signature white canes which are synonymous with Abbottabad industry.
Tourist attractions include the Referee and Umpire Museum and a zoo devoted almost entirely to bats, cave fish, moles, and deaf chickens with cataracts and glaucoma. Visitors can feel secure knowing that in the event of any threat modern interceptor aircraft can be scrambled from Islamabad and will arrive in about a week: two weeks tops if it's a bit cloudy.

Excuse me Major, can you tell me where the Abbottabad bus station is?
Certainly. Take a left at the Bin Laden compound and then it's just past the Willful Ignorance Airbase on Death To America Avenue.
If you get lost ask the tall guy with the Saudi accent for help ... but don't let him drive.

place. A town in Alberta, Canada, home to both the Memorial Cup winning Canards and their cross-town rivals the Screaming Raptures, with a rich and vibrant past, a violent present, and a glorious future. Site of the third-largest ethylene recycling plant on the tundra and the fifth tallest water tower on the planet this "Gateway To The Heart of Rimbey" is perfectly placed to reap the benefits of the coming world hydroethylene shortage.
A maze of cunning cul-de-sacs leads tourists on a circuitous path past an interesting procession of lemonade stands in summer and frozen waffle tables in winter.
Tourists can watch the bicephalicducks wallow on the settling ponds or visit the Canadian Fossil Museum where Kenny Shields and Mike Reno host "Sleep With A Dinosaur Night" every Friday.
Twice voted "Small Towne Of The Centurey" by the local creative spelling club Duck Hollow has a rich history of social conservativism as well as a Wacky-Wednesday at the Veterans of the Legion Hall where ethnic dress is encouraged.
A memorial gibbet placed in the centre of the main roadway honours the memory of the last survivor of the Hutterite Wars, Glen Hofer.
While too small and out of the way to attract major touring bands, Duck Hollow hosts a music festival each summer "Ethylene Feedstock" which has featured such tribute bands as The Guess Whose, Michael Jack's Son, Doctor's Hooker, Bond-Jovi Bond, and oddly enough, U2.

Sure could go for a delicious waffle and a game of cribbage this morning!
Well then, East Duck Hollow is the place for you! Do you got your GPS to get through all them cul-de-sacs?

I say! Prince Harry has been parading the guards rather a lot lately. It just isn't cricket old boy. I think it all started when his great-granny started letting the corgis out.
