10 9 Things I Love/Hate About You
If you see an enormous white pickup truck with a step ladder to the door and a set of fake bull testicles on the back parked diagonally across three parking stalls, you are probably in Alberta.
If you hear a guy next to you saying he's going to vote Progressive Conservative because he wants to see what one of those left-wing parties can do in power, you are probably in Alberta.
If you look to the left and see majestic mountains, look to the right and see golden prairies, look behind you and see crystalline blue lakes, and then look next door and see an oil derrick, you are probably in Alberta.
If you attend a wedding, and cabbage rolls and pyrogies are buffet options, you are probably in Alberta.
If you have to make sure your costume will fit over your snow suit every Halloween, you are probably in Alberta.
If every third person you meet is saying things you don't understand, so much so that you are only able to pick out the words "cod," "Screech" and "Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers," you are probably in Alberta.
If you go to work at 8:30 a.m., and it's dark, and you leave work at 4:30 p.m., and it's dark, and all the time in-between then it's bright and sunny and colder than a nun's t*t, you are probably in Alberta.
If you have a professional football team that's won five Grey Cups, and another professional football team that's won thirteen, you are probably in Alberta.
If you have a professional hockey team that's won one Stanley Cup, and another professional hockey team that's won five, you are most certainly in Alberta.
Today the regular season, and the Battle, begins. It's about time.
GOILERS.

Tonight is one of those rare occasions I don't mind the Flames winning.
Why, you ask? They're playing Vancouver. The Canucks, like the Anaheim Ducks, are even below the godless Flames on my personal totem pole of sports team awesomeness.....
One question though - new season, updated BOA Glossary? Can we expect such a thing?
can't wait to see the new (old) sweaters in action, and the new-look goalie masks, etc. as well (Roli's Fuhr-inspired cage looks sweeeeet)…
I have specifically asked beforehand whether the wedding reception dinner will include cabbage rolls and pyrogies. And then based my attendance decision on the answer.
Mmmm... cabbage rolls and perogies. Can I be invited to one of those weddings?
Clearly, I do not live in Alberta, as I went to 5 weddings this year and not a one of them had cabbage rolls and perogies.
By the way, when will Andy and Matt mention the write-up they got in Sports Business Journal? Well-done, guys.
Kukla had a screen grab a couple hours ago and Mirtle has a post.
Well fellows. I'm a Nucks diehard, but whatever. Tonight she begins, and i'm SO lookin forward to meaningful hockey.
Andy- I read on another blog that you (amongst others) were tired of the disrespect that was being tossed around with no regard. I sir stand with you, and am gonna make a concentrated effort this season to discuss my hate towards Albertas team in a civil way :)

We're shy guys. Now you have us blushing. Thanks, Neate.
If you attend a wedding, and cabbage rolls and pyrogies are buffet options, you are probably in Manitoba.
If you have to make sure your costume will fit over your snow suit every Halloween, you are probably in Manitoba.
Fixed em for ya Grabia.
Nice one guys! Hope to hear more from you Andy!
