LOL at the inferiority complex of Edmontonians. Even in his farewell article to the Eskimo name he can't help but throw in a dig at Calgary.

If Terry Jones vehemently believes something to be 'Good' that thing should be heaved into the Fires of Mount Doom immediately.

It's one thing to post a link to your book (which is fine), it's another to put in the link description of said book that it's $245, giving the impression that it's a humble brag,and, that because it costs so much, it's that much more important.

On second thought...if launching things into Mount Doom is on the table we should probably just start with Terry Jones and let that be the end of it.

My favourite part was this bit:

Quote:
I know how the name came into existence. A Calgary sportswriter was making fun of them. But Edmonton liked it, because: A) it represented the north and the climate and toughness it entails; and B) because of the alliteration.
He makes it sound like Kyle and Sharon from St. Albert are these rugged warriors of the tundra, clearing the ancestral fjords of frost giants and yetis to protect their tribe from raid.

The north is also where we ship off the crazies and crybabies cradling inferiority complexes. They've reproduced and multiplied over the decades and now you have modern day edmonton.

I mean show me a media guy there that isnt kool-aid delusional or afraid to post without needing to block any one with a differing opinion to protect their paper thin hide.

There needs to be an "Edmonton Hall of No Good™ " so Terry Jones can be an inaugural Founder inductee.

My suggestion for the Edmonton football clubs name. The West Edmonton Maulers. That's what they claim put them on the map. A stupid mall!!!

Odd that he would think so many Chicago fans would travel to Edmonton for this...
