Dear rest of Canada – please get your own hockey team.

As you can see, the rest of Canada, which we here in Vancouver officially refer to as A Good Place To Be From, has been busy reminding us that they do not like our hockey team.

What they really mean is they do not like Vancouver.

This, of course, is nothing new to Vancouver. The rest of Canada has always hated us because we’re the prettiest girl in school, and the less pretty girls -you know, the kind who dress all in black and think they’re intellectuals because they looked up “existentialism” -like to think we are dumber and shallower than they are, which normally we would respond to, except that we’re too busy right now brushing our hair. We’re getting ready to go out. We have a totally bitchin’ night ahead of us. We’re going out dancing.

The rest of Canada says, oh no, it’s not you. It’s nothing personal. It’s not envy or anything like that.

We just don’t like your team, the rest of Canada says. They’re not Canadian.

V.c » Well said Pete. I almost coughed up my spicy tuna roll and Blue Buck ale as I read this. I cheered for those Alberta teams as they made their Cup runs a few years ago but i certainly won’t make that mistake again.

Round three begins. Let’s Go Nucks, it’s time to slay some sharks.

1 Week To Go

One week until the start of the Winter Olympics (although it should be the summer games given how balmy it was here today). Apparently the global attendance expectations are down so we are summoning the aliens. We need people, aliens included, to come here and spend their pesos, it’s expensive to host an event like this (especially given the amount of snow we have had to truck in) and we don’t want our grandchildren to have to pay for our party.

Dropping Some NYC

This Vancouverite is taking a holiday to drop some NYC as John Popper of Blues Traveler once sang. See you in a week or so. And no I won’t be blogging about my experience in NYC, I think I will have other things to do that don’t involve computers. The forecast for Vancouver for the next week is a little suspect, but I’m sure you will find things to do. Enjoy.
