A collection of books produced by the surrealist artist Edward Gorey in the mid 19 hundreds. There are four omnibus editions, all named Amphigorey, produced between 1972 and 2006. Each edition contains a select number of works. Though some of these short stories contained within the series are published under a pseudonym they all spawned from the same mind.

A small historical town in southwestern Ontario that is a suburb of Windsor Ontario. Although most of the town is white, 90% of the youth are "gangsta" and find it necessary to blast the latest rap music in their 1995 impala with huge subs and the windows down.
Greg: "Hey man, want to go to Amherstburg to feed the ducks on the waterfront?"
Allen: "Nah, we'll prolly get shot by the small town gangsters in the area."
Greg: "Oh ya, i forgot how dangerous historical towns can be."

Get the Amherstburg mug.A small, self-professed liberal town in Western Massachusetts. Amherst has a population of about 35,000 and a median age of 21.8, thanks to UMass, Amherst College, and Hampshire College. A town that prides itself on believing strongly in diversity, 76.7% of the population is white, with only 6.2% hispanic and 5.1% Black. The government is a town meeting with select board members, which are overwhelmingly white.
The residents and parents in Amherst are so concerned about political correctness that they petitioned to prevent the high school from performing West Side Story, because the play portrayed Puerto Rico and hispanics in a negative light. Instead, the high school put on a production of Guys and Dolls, which is one of the most sexist musicals ever written.
If you attend a choral performance in Amherst, each of the following will probably be on the bill:
-at least one song from Africa
-at least one song in a different language, probably more than that, probably one in Yiddish (most of the performers will have no clue what they are singing)
-at least one song about loving each other and/or peace, and will most likely be related to diversity
-none of the songs will be overtly christian, in order to include everyone
Amherst once had a MaDonald's, but it went out of business, in part because it was next to Antonio's (which sells pizza by the slice until about 1:30am, with ANYTHING you could ever think of for a topping).
