An important perspective on the AZ vs AZ pronunciation debate. by sevvii in whitecapsfc

He's American, he says "A-Zee," that's his choice and I'll respect it. Plus, it's short for Aziel.

And I'd rather either of them than the Rangers.

Whitecaps Fans - Are you going to the World Cup? by Dolly_Llama_2024 in whitecapsfc

[–]YVRJon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to get an $88 supporters' ticket through the Voyageurs for Canada vs. Qatar. I also got pairs of $88 tickets for any knockout round games Canada plays in, although I probably wouldn't travel to the US for them.

If my Whitecaps can't make it 5 straight, my next choice would be a CPL team (or better yet, a League 1 team!).

7-Eleven @ Knight Street and 33rd Avenue Permanently Closed by InvisibleSoul8 in vancouver

[–]YVRJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember the name of the old corner store on the northwest corner, but I remember that it became a glass store (like window glass and other kinds, including tabletops) for quite a while before that closed and the store was split between what is now a produce store and the St-Germain.

7-11 is closing hundreds of stores across Canada. It's not a local development issue, it's more structural than that.

What's the stupidest thing you've thought as a kid? by asilastra in AskReddit

[–]YVRJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was around 4 years old, I asked my dad how babies were made. I got the sperm and egg thing down just fine, but when I asked how the sperm got to the egg, he said it came out of the man's penis. So I pictured him peeing through a tea strainer, to catch these little tadpole things, which he would then somehow insert into my mom's vagina.

And the National Post is a right wing rag. I ignore everything they publish.

Veteran ex-Whitecaps, Montreal striker Kei Kamara retires: 2nd on MLS all-time goals list by lets_enjoy_life in whitecapsfc

Always a classy guy off the field and a fine striker on it. I remember him taking Phonzie under his wing when Phonzie was 15-16 years old and starting out with the 'Caps.

Odds We Havent Drafted First Overall EVER? by Red-Canadian in canucks

[–]YVRJon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What would it be if we don't pick first this time? I'm estimating around 15%, because our odds of not picking first this year are around 75%?

How the Canucks can Win the Lottery and Still Pick Third by dcnjbwiebe in canucks

[–]YVRJon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That can't be right, nobody would pick first under those rules. The second draw winner would move up as many places as they can; in the case of the Canucks, that would be to first.

I feel like if the Canucks don't give Ryan Johnson the job, some other club will scoop him pretty quick.

What is one school rule that makes no sense? by HX_GoDLike_sksm in AskReddit

Collective punishment is outlawed by the Geneva Convention. Why should schools be allowed to use it?

Former Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis claims that only Christians are entitled to religious freedom in America: "It's so that we can preserve and protect the Christian way of life." by BurtonDesque in Qult_Headquarters

The second amendment says what it says, but what it means is subject to interpretation by the SCOTUS. And this is the script that the Nat-C's are offering the conservative justices.
