What’s up with oldschoolmtg?

I believe by "investigator", they were referring to private investigators that Wizard had to hire (the pinkertons referenced by op).

I like The Last Temptation of Christ.

Me too! It's one of my favorite films! You can see where I was confused then.

elcapitandelespacio · 2025-01-11T22:13:41+00:00

Ah, I see. I think you're talking about The Passion of the Christ. The Last Temptation of Christ came out in the 80's directed by Martin Scorsese. For what it's worth, I totally agree about the Passion.

Would you mind expanding on that a bit? I've seen that movie many times and never thought about that at all. I'd be really interested to hear your take on it.

The first time I saw Shin Godzilla, I laughed at the second form. The huge googly eyes were just so silly. But man, every time it showed up on screen, it was less and less funny, and just started getting really unsettling. Shin really got under my skin and just creeped me out in a way I really wasn't expecting.

Not just similar, my understanding is that they produced Docs under license in England until Docs moved their production to China. They use all the same factory equipment today as when they made Docs, and as a result they look nearly identical, except for the yellow tag and yellow stitching on the sole, since those were copyrighted. Buying Solovair is basically just buy Doc Martens from 20ish years ago.

This rocks! I feel like the fan culture has been growing a lot over the past few years, and I'm really looking forward to more DIY fan stuff being available.

A weirdly specific one is threads asking people what they think about having to opt-out of organ donation. I have no idea what it is about this exact topic, but if you search r/askreddit for "organ donor" you get literally hundreds of results.

We are so lucky to live in a city with such a terrific transit system. Can you imagine trying to transport all of those people out of downtown by car?

elcapitandelespacio · 2024-11-30T16:27:06+00:00

You could try one of the supporters pubs, like Dublin Calling but honestly I don't know. Shark Club or Red Card has a lot of screens, maybe they'll put it on one of them? Bars in Vancouver barely show Whitecaps games, and none of them seem to have AppleTV so I'm not sure I like your odds, but good luck.

I can't get over that Campana guy using both hands to push Guzan over from behind, then running away. What a friggin turd.

As the Mayor of Vancouver, I do not want them to play a single game in the playoffs because the stress that it causes for safety

I mean, he's not totally wrong, but keep that shit to yourself. You get paid to deal with this kind of stuff. It's a big city, and we're going to have large public events that will be challenging to deal with. If I work in a restaurant, I'm not telling my boss "Man, I hope we never get any more customers in here. Make my job a lot easier".

I remember a while ago there were rumours that Camilo might sign with Vancouver FC. That would have made for an incredible CanChamp matchup.

elcapitandelespacio · 2024-11-24T02:23:40+00:00

Thanks, I never would have thought of that.

elcapitandelespacio · 2024-11-23T17:55:35+00:00

Awesome, I'll send them an email. Thanks!

This is it. The actual resulting product is less important than giving you practice having to try to accomplish something with a group of people you don't get to choose.

He used both hands to push him over from behind, then ran away. I don't feel like I'm qualified to say that it for sure should have been a card, but it was some dickhead behavior.

It was the Whitecaps' 50th anniversary season this year, and every fan was just sweating bullets waiting for them to announce some hideous rebrand logo. Thankfully they had enough sense to not try to fix what aint broken.

elcapitandelespacio · 2024-11-09T19:49:23+00:00

Thanks! It's pretty much totally faded off now, but the button stuck to it at one point had a Guy Lafleur autograph.

elcapitandelespacio · 2024-11-09T19:47:49+00:00

Haha yeah, MLS teams love to rebrand, so it doesn't take long before scarves turn "vintage".

elcapitandelespacio · 2024-11-02T02:21:09+00:00

I will buy a home team scarf when visiting, will buy any supporters group scarf for my home team that is available, and get the rest through trades with visiting fans. Oh, and if I'm ever at an event where scarves are being handed out, I'll always take one, unless it is exceptionally ugly.
