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.

The 70's House 

One more reason that MTV needs to be shot down. 12 "unsuspecting" kids being brought into a bullshit stereotype "70's style" abode. Not everyone wore short shorts, polyester, brown plaid, or listened to disco.
DIPSHITS! Ever hear of KISS, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Cream, or Judas Priest? They ain't disco. Why don't you have the contestants dance to "Detroit Rock City" or "You Really Got Me" instead of "the Hustle"? God, MTV. I shall kill you in your sleep.

The 70's 

The 70's was the best decade ever. The height of the the Muscle Car wars, Marvel Comics was amazing, Led Zepplin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, Free, Blood Sweat and Tears, America, Moody Blues are all examples of the 70's at their finest.everyone would smoke a blunt and nobody cared. Blacks going into White schools for the first time, and jobs aswell They even went on to become police officers, firemen, tv/movie stars, lawyers & comedians for the first time.

The 1970s was also when Hip-Hop music, first ever Betamax, VHS player, pong (1st video game), and cassette tapes were invented. Need I say more
Me: Man I wish I lived back in the 70's, driving a muscle car, and blasting Led Zeppelin all day.
Friend: Amen brother.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
