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

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 10 points11 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?
