Edmonton


Edmonton (Aka Deadmonton, Stabmonton, Special Ed-monton, Edmonchuck, Zeus's Butthole), is known for it's large mall, it's penchant for stabbings, and the Edmonton Eskimos. Although summer's are quite mild, the winters are akin to being invited to the hospital to watch a still birth...very uncomfortable. At one point reaching -57, Edmonton was the second coldest place on the planet on December 15, 2009.
Edmonton has shat several celebrities onto the planet, namely Robert Goulet, Michael J. Fox and Leslie Neilsen. One of Edmonton's only redeeming qualities is that it is the birthplace of Marshall McLuhan, but nobody here seems to know who the fuck he is.
Edmonton is a conservative run town which, as a writer, give me a lot to make fun of.
