Where were you born? Where did you grow up?

[Flames Draft Watcher]

0-25 Calgary

Since then I've been splitting time between Vancouver (school) and Calgary. Most of my favourite people live in Calgary but I like Vancouver quite a bit better as a city and BC as a province.

Out of curiosity, how did you become a Flames fan?

I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Grew up in Canada, but I did live in England for a few months prior to coming to Canada.

"I've Been Everywhere" - Johnny Cash

I was totin' my pack along the long dusty Winnemucca road,
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load.
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride."
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"

[Chorus:]
I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert's bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.

I've been to:

Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I'm a killer.

[Chorus]

I've been to:

Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana,
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana,
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa,
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa,
Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake,
Grand Lake, Devils Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake.

[Chorus]

I've been to:

Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika,
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica,
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport,
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport,
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina,
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean-a.

[Chorus]

I've been to:

Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelbourg, Colorado,
Ellisburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado,
Larimore, Admore, Haverstraw, Chatanika,
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika,
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City,
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity.

[Chorus]

Some of you are predictable.

Some of us, I have no idea why, or how you became Flames fans.

But it is still pretty cool.

Dude...there's a good chance I probably know some of your family!

I was born in the hole they call Daysland Alberta but Bawlf is my home town. Went to school there for my entire career and am now enrolled at the U of C...just bought a condo in Ranchlands actually. So if any of you happen to live in Storybook (haha that name just makes me laugh), come August 21 you'll have a couple of new neighbours!
