ROAD TRIP: A BBM Game

From today's "Ticked Off & Tickled Pink" section of The Medicine Hat News"
Ticked off
I’m ticked off with the thousands of smokers in Medicine Hat who don’t think cigarette butts are litter. Maybe they should ask the fish in the river that have to put up with all the butts that get flushed down the storm sewer every year. Just think of what the parking lots and streets would look like if everyone threw their pop bottles and cans out wherever they happen to be.
Ticked off
I’m ticked off. I moved down from Edmonton a year ago. I’ve never been a rich person. Sometimes in Edmonton I’d go to second-hand stores and I would take things I need. They always cleaned up the mess. Then I come to Medicine Hat and the same places are just a horrid mess. Here it’s like a tornado went through. There’s no respect.
Ticked off
By a local school they’ve made it all nice. They’ve put in grass and new ball diamonds. But they still have those ugly barricades there. I don’t know why they don’t open that up and let the traffic go through there? It’s kind of an eye sore.
Ticked off
During the first game of the Western Hockey League season I wasn’t impressed with the new rules. There’s absolutely no flow to the game. It’s a constant penalty parade. I think it’s made a mockery of the game. It’s high scoring but there’s no flow to the game. I think something has to be done.
Tickled pink
I’m tickled pink with the couple who stopped to see if we had a ride home following a late bingo evening and then waited in the parking lot until our ride arrived. Your concern was greatly appreciated.
Ticked off
I’m ticked off about the bus shelter across from the hospital. It’s a pigsty. Everyone goes in there to smoke. There are cigarette butts everywhere. If they’re going to smoke, they should clean up behind themselves.
Ticked off
There’s no need for change at the intersection of Eagle Butte Road and the Trans-Canada Highway. It’s a perfectly safe intersection as long as drivers entering the Trans-Canada Highway from Eagle Butte Road obey the highway code and stop. Proceed only when it’s safe to do so. After a major accident at the intersection, drivers are still not stopping. Unmarked police cars at this intersection would encounter numerous violations.
Ticked off
To the person who hit the mother duck and her ducklings. He or she should have their licence taken away.
Ticked off
I’m ticked off with the person who suggested we destroyed crows nests every spring. Crows wouldn’t be waking you up every morning if we humans wouldn’t build our big houses in the middle of their territory destroying the ecosystem as we go. Just imagine what the rest of Mother Nature’s creatures think of us. The sun wakes me every morning but I didn’t try to destroy it. I bought bigger drapes. Invest in earplugs.
Tickled pink
I’d be tickled pink if we could find out for sure which stores are coming to Medicine Hat.

I have actually been to Medicine Hat, AB. We bought a case of beer there at the liquor store (the only place to buy beer in the town) and as we left, the guy there said, "Drink up! And hurry back!" That was in 1979 and we haven't made it back since.
On with the the game. A T town...how about:
