Tynersburg

place. Industrial city where most of Ohio's fridge magnets are forged. Located where the magnetite miners had easy access to both water and oil Tynersburg grew from a small hamlet to a bustling metropolis at the turn of the century when fridges began to be formed from metal instead of wood.

Home of the Fighting Woodchuks pasanka choir and a Bavarian Beer Stein interpretive center, Tynersburg boasts a bold hold on the past and a niche-based future.

Isn't Tynersburg the home of both an Olympic archer and a famous composer of Indian ragas?

Why yes. I believe it is, and I think you can buy cleverly constructed fridge magnets celebrating both of them.

canopoly

n. Taking all the fridge or cupboard space for one's own cans, or other food containers, thereby leaving one's roommate to pile her food on the veranda.

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

What the heck! What sort of canopoly do you have going on here! Most of the stuff you got in this here fridge don't even need to be kept cold.

Sucks to be you. I don't like to pick up warm cans. It bothers my nerve endings. I got the sensitive nerve endings.

scrum

n. Central activity in Rugby football. Sixteen overweight men or women push into each other while holding one anothers shirt tails. Face-kicking, ear-biting and scrotum-butting are allowed, but, oddly, foot-lifting is severely punished. A call of "not in straight" results in a penalty kick instead of knowing sniggers while a call of "push over try" results in jubilation and moist scrum down.

Scrum! White! There's your mark! Crouch! Touch! Pause! Engage!

Is that referee high on something? The match hasn't started!

Llandwbllllwydd

place. Welsh mining village nestled in the Snowdonian range in Glamorgan. Twice voted the least pronouceable place on the planet.

Quilt making, poetry composition and pneumoconiosis are the backbones of the economy.

Here now Yestin. What say we amble down the mountain to look for lassies in Llandwbllllwydd?

Of course the Eckville Tigers are going to beat those Bentley Generals, they could probably beat the Edmonton Rush!

You are such a total keegstra. When are you going in for therapy?

Abbottabad

n. A modern city near Islamabad with a thriving economy and vibrant night life in spite of an overwhelmingly blind population. Home to a large military officer training centre, a security police academy, a large sophisticated army base, and a cadre of well known international terrorists in a well-appointed glaringly-obvious hideout.

Famous for its complex network of blind alleys and home to the Pan-Asia bronze medal winning Hide-and-Seek team this modern metropolis, nestled in the fog-shrouded mountains of North East Pakistan, has recently almost seen the opening of yet another factory to manufacture the signature white canes which are synonymous with Abbottabad industry.

Tourist attractions include the Referee and Umpire Museum and a zoo devoted almost entirely to bats, cave fish, moles, and deaf chickens with cataracts and glaucoma. Visitors can feel secure knowing that in the event of any threat modern interceptor aircraft can be scrambled from Islamabad and will arrive in about a week: two weeks tops if it's a bit cloudy.

Excuse me Major, can you tell me where the Abbottabad bus station is?

Certainly. Take a left at the Bin Laden compound and then it's just past the Willful Ignorance Airbase on Death To America Avenue.
If you get lost ask the tall guy with the Saudi accent for help ... but don't let him drive.
