This just in! Engineers aren’t all know-it-all, robot-like, assholes.
Engineers. If you live in Calgary, there is a good chance you are an engineer, you are married to an engineer, you work with an engineer, you know an engineer, you’ve seen an engineer, you’ve heard of an engineer, or you’ve thought about shit-kicking an engineer. The word engineer is a swear word in many circles. But why? Is it because we are are logical, precise, and objective? If so, since when are those considered character flaws?
So what if we start most sentences with “In theory,…” or commonly use the phrases “within an order of magnitude” or “as a first approximation”?

About The Shitty of Calgary
Please allow me to make one thing clear right off the bat - I live in Calgary and I like the city. It's just that there are many things about living it Calgary that bother me deeply and drag this fair city down.
Have you ever wondered how some people on the web define the word Calgary? Well, wonder no more, just read below:
Definition 1: "N. The best city in Alberta. Fuck Wait. The best mother fuckin city in Canada period. Calgary beats the living shit out of butfuck Edmonton. The Saddledome is ill, olympic park is a beaty, you can see the rockies, the C train gets you from A to B and the Stamps are gonna do it one of these years. Plus the Calgary Stampede is dope. I've only been once but the girls are generally nice clean and well raised upper middle class that dress nice as fuck and are just straight up hot. It is also a clean town with lots to do and it isn't full of left wing hippies like other big cities. That is why it beats the fuck out of dirty cesspools like Toronto."

“What a great deal I got on my house in late 2007!”So you decided to sell your right-sized home in late 2007 and move into an oversized home in an estate area, right? Why?
