calgarian

A typical Calgarian forms part of a giant collective or hive mind. Unlike the Borg, it is almost impossible to become assimilated into this 'old boys network'.

They have robotic tendancies and will eat meals at the same time as their peers. Everything is perfect for the Calgarian, and they rarely find the need to discover the world beyond the Calgary city limits; preferring to visit the zoo for the 1019th time.

The Calgarian often drives a large pick up truck, although rarely uses the rear box to transport cargo. SUVs are becoming more popular, and often driven by mothers.

The lower class Calgarian is often distinguished by their appearance; often sporting a large greasy mullet topped with a 'Molsen Canadian' baseball cap. These are often spotted around areas known as Dover or Forest Lawn.

Musical tastes are limited to country, 'lite rock' and US-style Hip hop and clothing fashions are often 2-3 years behind other major centers in the world.

That was great hockey last night eh?

Calgary was a great place to grow up in the 60s and 70s

I was born in Calgary and was raised just outside of it. Not to bore the shit out of anyone, but living outside of it for 40 + years was more than I could personally stand. I actually am the "real Deal", rodeoing for 23 years and working in practically all fields of employment. It is a town full of pretentious wanna-be's that once a year form a gigantic 8 foot deep screw-fest called the Stampede. I entered it twice and can say without a doubt that lethbridge even has a better show. They say that line about the best form of flattery, but that town go's so far past the point it is unbearable to contestants, so 90% don't even stick around long enough to eat. I believe the best thing I have done is move 2 hours further away from that puss-factory with plans of even getting further out. Acreages get bought up by lawn mowing oil idiots and nice places in town are meth labs. Sound a little sour? Take a good look around you while your in town and then try to find some silence out of town. If your not from here, heed my words. In the 60s and 70s, It was good, from a kids point of view. but rest assured, Calgary sucks.

Calgary

Perhaps the City of Calgary should be called the Shitty of Calgary, or better yet, shittyofcalgary.com.

Calgary has some serious problems that appear to only be getting worse.

Calgary Flames

A professional hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta.

The Flames began as the Atlanta Flames in 1972 before moving to Calgary in 1980. They have reached the Stanley Cup Finals 3 times in 1986, 1989, and 2004. Winning two Stanley Cups in 1986, and 2004 on Martin Gelinas no-called goal in game 6.

The Calgary Flames' biggest rival is the Vancouver Canucks. Edmonton Oiler fans seem to think that the Calgary Flames are their rival, however, they can only really have rivals once they have achieved a level of playoff status that has been relatively unheard of in Edmonton for almost a decade (save a run in 2006, of whom, all the star players have left the team shortly thereafter).

Also synonymous with: perfection, achievement through hard work and sacrifice, and an Oilers fan's nightmare.

Edmonton Oilers Fan: You hit my car!

Calgary Flames Fan: How about we set our
differences aside and enjoy a shot of
whisky so we can live in peace, finally, as Alberta hockey fans?

Edmonton Oilers Fan: Sounds good

"Oilers fan takes a shot"

Edmonton Oilers Fan: who are you calling?

Calgary Flames Fan: The police
