Pennant Day June 10th 1914 Vancouver, B.C.
Robson & Granville Street - Downtown, Vancouver. Taken by me 15 minutes ago.
Vancouver is the greatest place in the world right now.
Reblogging myself from year ago today… OLYMPIC HOCKEY GOLD DAY!
That was amazing. Never forget.
Never forget.
February 23, 1985: On this day in history, Bobby Knight threw a chair, the world split in half, and the Hoosiers lost to Purdue.

7:01pm. Missed 7:01 by an hour and a half cuz my phone was in my jacket but Fruitface is just as much fun at 8:29pm.
Can someone please teach the Canucks how to Dougie?
The Kurtenbloggers critique the celebratory dance styles of the boys in blue.
They also give some credit to where it’s due to the Washington Capitals for their best Pauly D impression with their “Beat Dat Beat” routine.
This is the Canadianest post-game celebration ever. They won 6-0! We’re just not used this. I get skeptical and nervous seeing the Canucks at the top of the league standings. That’s not division or conference—the whole National Hockey League. It’s weird.
A year ago, Vancouver hosted the Olympics. Canada won more gold medals than any country ever. But, man, we’re still not used to winning.
Cameras in locker rooms after a game is the best thing television covering major league sports has done in a while. (Other than the camera angles by American TV networks covering NHL games.) First football and hockey. Now baseball, please?

Meet the Ice Cream Guy: Zach Burroughs.

Expanding TransLink’s Tweets: reg. rte N’bound
3-DOWNTOWN has returned to reg. rte N’bound on Main St. Police are letting buses-& only buses-thru MVI site Main & 29 ^DS
This would have worked better as two tweets:
The #3 bus (“DOWNTOWN”) has returned to its regular route northbound on Main St.
Police are letting buses (and only buses) through motor vehicle incident at Main and 29th.
There. No parsing required, and no uncommonly-used acronyms. I still don’t know what MVI actually stands for.
This ad presents a very inaccurate image of the Air Canada travel experience.
You mean I won’t see Peggy Olson on an Air Canada flight?
He’d also mix it up with “Can you help a beer buy a bum?”. R.I.P.
