I could really go for a hot duck sandwich right now. Are you in?

We could build a bridge across the bay, or, and here I'm just free styling, we could dig a tunnel.

Well, that is a whole different box of balloons

enormoose

adj. Really, really large. Huge in fact.

...................................................

That debt is enormoose! You think you're the government or something?

Is that rhetorical?

Could be. Is rhetorical the one where I don't have to answer?

Yeah.

So I've already ruined that.

Yo! This weekend me and my crew are going to lay some harmageddon on you. You hear me? You will cry!

You know it's just a chess match, right?

Whatever dude. Just bring your tear-proof pawns.

warmageddon

n. The oft-predicted final battle over the destiny of Earth's soul between the believers in global warming and the followers of Satan (or between the Global Warming Conspirators and the Holders of the True Knowledge).

Pretty frigid today, ehh?

That's a sign of the coming warmageddon.

How is that even possible?

You'll see. You'll all see!

dingle bells

n. A derogatory term for any over-used Christmas song. The term was originally inspired by an insanely funny parody song not suitable for kiddies or younger elves.

Listen. I think they are playing Dingle Bells and it is only November. Do they think we're a bunch of Perth cast-offs who can't tell time?

Coronation

place. Town in Canada that sits boldly upon the bare prairies surrounded by wheat fields and arthropods not encumbered by gluten-allergies. Gravel deposits are almost non-existent due to the intransigent nature of the recent glaciation, but a ready supply of clay is at hand so there are no shortages of bricks and brick-like accretions.

Curling is the sport of choice for the largely-retired populace who draw weights each end during the winters.

.....................................................................................

Rodent zoonoses are, to the delight of the tourism bureau, on the wane at the grain elevator/interpretive centre. Open all summer.

Is that Coronation in the distance? I would love to take off my locust-proof coat and down a few brews.

It's hard to tell with the wondscreen covered in bug juice.
