Mecca

place. small commune in Alberta, Canada built around a spring providing fresh water. The glacial water percolates through cleansing gravel and emerges pure and unconfined. It is promptly bottled and shipped by workers in sterile gowns.

Tourism, including sportfishing, rock climbing and rock collecting is growing and two new wings have recently been added to the playschool.

Craft items, organic produce, sacred rocks, massage stones etc. keep the economy robust and diversified.

Hey! This spring water is great! Does it come from heaven?

No. It comes from Mecca.

Ryder pride

An intense glorious personal emotional high caused by something for which you deserve no credit, or something which is pointless.

Why is Amanda strutting like a peahen with a fresh coat of paint?

Her sister parked Terrel Owens' car last night. Worst case of Ryder pride I've ever seen, even if she's using a sexual euphemism.

Even then.

briar

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.
