Here's a bit of Canadian trivia for you.... In the province of Newfoundland, there's a town by the name of Dildo.... Wonder how Dildo-ites will tell you where they came from...??? Bet that at least 1 or 2 lie and tell people they're from Conception Bay.... or maybe Cornerbrook... or just about any place else... <eom>

There are a bunch of guys out cutting sod across the way from us.... My young collie doesn't approve at all...and she's doing a lot of growling and barking...... Seems that she doesn't like seeing a bunch of young fellows ripping all around the field on tractors and loaders... She especially doesn't approve of the two-way radios and the high-volume chattering going on... And I don't approve of having to listen to THEM or to HER... <eom>

No, we don't have a Bedrock, because everyone has to name their towns and neighborhoods after Stupid Crap. Stupid Crap, Arizona. It's all fake or non-existant or misnomerd trees and streams; that first they plow down, culvert and mutilate; all something that sounds like Stupid McMansionsville. Canterbury, Skyline, Brookside (Jesus!), Coronado, Whispering Pines, Churchill Downs, Teaberry, YUCK!! Fat Head, Arizona. Now, I like the name Arizona. Arizona. Hmmm. Nice. Pogo Stick. Nervous People, Pennsylvania. But it's all SISSY Shit! GRRRR!! Sissy, Arizona. "You're a Sissy." "Am not!" "Am too!" "Okay. You're right. But you're a Whimpy Fucker." ~ "Where are ya from?" "Don't Ask." "Oh! I been there." ~ "Do you know where she lives?" "I Forget." "Cool. We go swimming down there sometimes." ~ I get Really MAD about this crap. It is a LOT more important than people realize. Yes it is! It is a harbinger of culture. A coal mine canary. A bellwether. I am here to sound it, people. Sound the bellwether. This is serious! Harbinger Of Culture, Arizona. I LIKE IT! C'mon people, WAKE UP! Time is Running Out on Our Culture. Arizona.
