(Totally stolen from Facebook) Cape Breton Tar Pond Tumors The Steel Plant Nostaligics. (More of a band name) Cape Breton Earwigs. The Donaire Sauce Diabetics! The Cape Breton OffSeason Fishermen. Whoever Hasn't Left Yet. Cape Breton Coal Bootleggers. (That was a thing, right?) Cape Breton Barn Burners. (Seriously, who's burning everything down around here?) The Geriatrics, even though it sounds pretty cool. Heavy Garbage. That's all I got for now.
