A band of boys who were born ruffians but are now, thankfully, tame. They hail from a small town Midland, in Ontario, Canada. The band now lives in Toronto and plays local shows regularily. Luke Lalonde, Steve Hamelin and Mitch DeRosier rock out on the electric guitar, bass and drums, with the occasionnal random percussion or trombone.
They play an awesome, very original indie rock style and have said that they sound like pre-punk new-wave dance-folk love-making...with guitar. You can check out their music on their MySpace profile; www.myspace.com/bornruffians
Enjoy.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
