Carlisling

The act of tricking somebody into listening to Belinda Carslile. The act usually involves creating false expectations but also works quite well as a total surprise. Pre-dating Rickrolling by several years, I first begun this practice by slotting Heaven Is A Place on Earth into random Thrash or Death Metal mix cd's given to friends.

small town. hell on earth until you leave. heaven on earth until u get back.

Carlisle is a small city of around 70,000 people (2001 census) located in north-west England, ten miles from the Scottish Border. With its origins in Roman pre-Christian Britain, Carlisle, Cumbria came long before any other Carlisle, especially that vampire from those shit-house books.

The Roman settlement of Luguvalium was built atop the older Northumbrian town of Caer Luel - literally Luel's Castle. The Latin name translates to roughly the same meaning. The town is thought to have been named for the Celtic god Lugos, the namesake of many other towns such as Lugudunum - modern Lyon.

Carlisle played a fairly large part in the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, when it played host to the Young Pretender after capitulating to the Jacobite cause. This treason was rewarded by the Duke of Cumberland, nicknamed Butcher Cumberland, reputedly with the execution of every tenth man, woman or child in the town. Carlisle was also sacked by the Scottish rebel William Wallace, and not York as shown in Braveheart.

Today Carlisle is best known for its homophobic bishop - who claimed that the floods in Kingston-upon-Hull were God's judgement against homosexuals, its large biscuit factory, average football team - Carlisle United, its Norman castle, medieval Cathedral and notorious nightclub-filled street - Botchergate or Botch as it is known to the locals.

Shit Hole

A small town northwest of Boston, adjacent to Concord. Although there is no definitive town center, and there is no legit place to hang after school, it is still a great town. We have Kimball's. Concordians like to make fun of Carlislians, saying that they are cow-tipping hicks who live in the middle of nowhere. The truth is that Carlisle is as much in the woods as any other town around here, just ask anyone from the City. Carlisle merely doesn't have a commercial center, otherwise it would be identical to Concord. Carlisle also owns all of Concord's music programs combined. Plus, we have Kimball's.

someone really hot and beautiful who everyone wants to be around. has an amazing personality, one of the nicest people in the entire world who is friends with everyone.

The disorienting, debilitating, life-changing feeling that comes when first hearing 80's power-pop ballad "Heaven is a Place on Earth", coupled with the realization that a woman with the name "Belinda" can actually be hot.
