clyde; This is the only place in the world you can sink up to your butt in mud and have dust blow in your face.

fcch; You know what I'm talking about eh!

There once was a boy from Quebec
who sunk up in snow to his neck
when asked is you friz?
He replied yes I is,
but we don't call this cold in Quebec!
(Rudyard Kipling I think)
