Christmas Eve Day

n. Oxymoronicly named period alluding to the daylight hours prior to Christmas Eve. Quite an acceptable coinage despite the objections of some opinionated pedants. An alternate etymology comes from the traditions of the Armenian Orthodox church which speak of the Bethlehem innkeeper's wife, Evangelina, who convinced her husband to allow Mary to give birth in their stable. A feast day in her honour was declared on the day preceding Christmas. Christmas Eve Day, a time for quiet contemplation and fasting, is still celebrated in Asia Minor and much of Central Alberta.

What are you planning for Christmas Eve Day?

I thought I'd stock up on diet coke and pizza for tomorrow.

Well watch out for the language police!

olympics

n. Loose assemblage of activities undertaken quadrennially by over-ripped folk with an odd view of life and difficulty prioritising. Small trinkets on coloured ribbons and needlessly ostentatious flower arrangements are commonly given to several of the better entrants as stirring tunes play. Flags and advertising signage tend to be prominently displayed and portly men in suits shuffle about needlessly.

I couldn't sleep yesterday so I flicked on the olympics and caught some women's arm wrestling; it looked like the 85kg class. I think a Bulgarian won. Then there was rhythmic gymnastics. I swear to God. Rhythmic gymnastics.

organ donation

n. awesome skateboarding move that results in a near-death experience but is totally rad.

Whoa dude!!! You turned a simple leapstand into a total organ donation. I thought you were going to need a new bladder!

Yeah... I managed to land on my pancreas instead. Listen... can you be a bro and dial 911?

Benalto

place. Ideally situated on a glacial morraine, Benalto has cleverly used its alluvial gravel stocks to thrust itself into the forefront of the small-rocks industry.

Rodeo enthusiasts abound, as do deer hunters, mushroom pickers, scapula maintainance workers and roadsign repair shops.

Bouldering enthusiasts have recently added Benalto to the list of "must see" rock climbing locales in the West Central Alberta Region and a History of Granite Exfoliation display at the mine site is a Canadian shield enthusiast's mecca.

Why is the rodeo infield so bumpy?

This is Benalto! That is golden gravel!

social thinker

n. Person who doesn't think to excess; someone who isn't dim but who can't be bothered to cogitate in school.

The square root of 64? Are you kidding me? I am totally just a social thinker.

I studied hard all last semester and nearly lost all my friends. But, with the help of some total slackers, I managed to turn my life around and now I'm just a social thinker.

roam ants movie

n. chick flick so awful, so totally full of Jennifer Anniston, that you wish a horde of army ants would gnaw off your leg to keep you awake and add some excitement to the evening.

Dude! How was your date last night?

Absolutely dreadful. We viewed, and here I'm totally going to pause for effect, a roam ants movie!

Did you at least get your bleeding stump licked?
