Rodeo named Alberta's official sport

Jesus, like people didn't think we were all rednecks already...

YEEEEEHAW!!!!! and yet another reason why BC is better

Well while you are all out lassoing calfs Im gonna sneek into Cowtown and steal it back

Oh and I will lick the Cup...and call minesies on it

ZACTLY!

Reminds me of when they were looking for mascots for the 88 Olympics - they SAID they wanted to try and break the stereotypes that Canada was all frozen tundra and that Calgary wasnt the hick town everyone said/thought it was.

Who did they come up with?



Two cowboy hat wearin Polar Bears names Hidy and Howdy


Have you seen the moronic creations someone came up with for the 2010...GAWD!!!

Now you know why we don't vote Liberal in Alberta.

Pssssssssssssssssssst Ive already licked it
....weeeelllll hmmmm...screw it Ill take my chances and still lick it

Man I don't know hy but for some sick reason when I read your post about licking the cup this is what I thought of.

Hey not a damn thing wrong with a redneck cowboy in my books Did someone say lick...I'm in

Funny....I've lived in Alberta for 40 years and the Rodeo has never "captured my heart and soul" as the article suggests.

Oh yeah, and I've touched the cup once, back in the Flutie days.

In light of Derb's post above me , I just wanna stress the BOY part in cowboy and licking

Now you know why we don't vote Liberal in Alberta.


another stupid motion by the Liberal party of Alberta.

Yeah pretty sad. Its too bad too - seems everything that CAN go wrong with the 2010 games IS - political bullshit, athletes suing yadda yadda yadda

'88 was an incredible time (well for me anyway). Saw the Torch as it passed thru town, managed to take in a few events, even shared a Ctrain car with the Russian Hockey team... an unforgetable lifetime experience.

Wish you guys had the oppourtunity for the same but........
We never should have bid on them. I dont plan to even be in this country when they go down...its a joke, Campbell is a joke, Sammi Boy is a joke (thank god he will be gone). We are going to be paying for this crap for generations...and the regular class folk wont even see a game...pathetic

Man I don't know hy but for some sick reason when I read your post about licking the cup this is what I thought of.
I am so not clicking on that link Derbs....

on many levels.
