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.

place. Little appreciated Canadian city with the distinction of producing more top-flight dart flingers and less good hockey players than anywhere else in Alberta; also a good source of shale, lignite coal and third-base men.
Birthplace of warm fusion-an eclectic physics pursuit, and home to the only hindu ashram in the greater Eckville region, Duck Hollow is well situated to sell tires to people coming off the badly maintained Lacombe-Rimbey bypass as well as to siphon tourists away from the Devonian fossil beds and into the Rocky Mountain Rickettsial Diseases Museum recently built on the disused grounds of the sanitorium.
The high school Reach For The Top team was recently second runner-up in the Provincial tournament, taking advantage of some opportune dart-related questions in the final short snappers.

The subtle colors in the wedding photos were totally ruined by the vuvuazaleas the bridesmaids were holding.
Nobody can relax in the park since they put in those godforsaken vuvuazaleas!

n. small town in Alberta, Canada largely populated by the interbred offspring of hippies and American draft-dodgers who didn't hear about the amnesty. Furtively growing weed and selling each other badly-strung beaded necklaces are the major industries. Tourism has been in decline since 1897 when the three-headed calf died. In 1999 a death-punk band played a gig at the pool hall prompting the passage of a country music only bylaw. Gopher heads are accepted as currency by most shop owners and, for reasons lost in the mist of time, every resident must carry a live rooster.
I shot a few gophers on the weekend. Would you like to drive to Rimbey to pick up some necklaces?
No. Not really.

n. An ice-curling term for a granite stone large enough to prevent opposition rocks from hacking into the button. Traditionally a guard is pushed into the house in the later stages of the draw to sweep a tie.

Nice guard placement. I can almost taste the tankard coffee!
Yeah! We will be totally briaring this week-end.
